The truth behind the history of 420
420 a slag that we use every day without knowing when or how it came about to be so familiar and can easily be understood by all the potheads. Our grandfathers would be so awed by us for using the phrase such a rhyming wordplay that means one thing, let’s go and get stoned, or get fucking high without the outgroup knowing anything. In this article, we delve into the history of 420 from massive research by our team of researchers who got you what you really want to hear.
Myths about 420
To clarify the history, we need to first delve into the myths of 420.
one myth says that 420 is the police radio code for weed. It is not, in fact, 420 is the code for homicides in Nevada which does not in any way relate to smoking the blunt or as marshal from the tv series how I met your mother call it “eating sausage”.
The truth behind the history of 420
Steve capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and mark Gravich of California had a very important ritual during their high school that brought the world’s referral to the herb or the devil’s lettuce as many people call it. The 5 besties met at the playing field near the Lous Pasteur statue at 420 each day to get baked ritually. This amount of conformity to time was needed before the inception of mobile text or cellular devices to ensure the culture continued, no one wanted to miss the blunt.
The five called themselves the waldos due to their hideout place outside the school wall like all the other boys’ groups they needed a name for themselves.
In a 2000 interview with the San Francisco chronicle capper said “it was just a joke, but it came to mean all kinds of things, like, ‘do you have any?’ or ‘do I look stoned?’… parents and teachers wouldn’t know what we were talking about”
These 420 stories are sparked off by a coincidence where they received a map to which they would find weed lots that were free to the finder. The map had been given by a brother-in-law who worked in the coast guard by the name Gary Newman. The map had the ancient x treasure spot that would require them to use their wit to find out.
The myth continues that the weed is not found yet and is waiting for the next adventurous team.
grateful dead band and the history of 420
One question you might have asked yourself is how the secret 420 terms got into the international arena, well I got the sauce. The story goes back to the legendary stoner band the grateful dead who trained in a warehouse and the waldos were popular guests. A brother to the waldos managed the band’s side projects and Mark Gravichs dad assisted the band to rehearse thus their undue connection.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Reddix as remembering “for a young man around 18 or 19 around these guys, it was pretty overwhelmingly fun… we’d shoot some hoops and get high and listen to the dead playing and practicing inside this warehouse,”
The slag found its way to the grateful dead who liked the term and spread it like bushfire among their fellow joint mates. The phrase quickly gained attention and grew into an accepted stoner code.
Is 420 a dank day?
The phrase has such other coincidences as the birth of dictator Hitler on April 20th, the nonsmokers attribute it to the calming nature of weed and Hitler’s mental illness that was cured by war, a way to discourage non-users. There are four twenty reasons why the phrase has found itself in the mouths of its users from the “war on drugs” imposed by US President Nixon in 1971, which is the year the slag actually came out. The innate need to feel like part of a group probably grew that word, picture the use of a secret code to refer to a harmless bud that could make you reach the moon and the stars hypothetically.
The 20th of April has grown to become an international day of peaceful protest not from the lungs battle with enormous smoke, but actual liberalization politics in the new western world after the legalization of recreational and medicinal marijuana.
