The term 420 started in San Rafeal California in the early 1970’s where a group of students called the “Waldo’s” used 4:20 to designate the time they would meet to search for an abandoned crop of weed.

Eventually the group shortened the term “4:20 Louis” to simply 4:20 in reference to smoking weed in general. Eventually the story appeared in High Times and while that incorrectly referred to 4:20 being part of police code, the magazine is responsible for kicking 420 into high gear. The Huffington Post shares a long and detailed history of what 420 means and how it became what it is today.

Metro.uk shares an interesting look at the history of Cannabis that walks through how the plant spread across the globe.
