The number 420 has become a popular code for marijuana. ::LOL::
On Sunday pot smokers will gather across the US to mark what has become a hallowed date
in their calendar - 4/20, or 20 April -
by smoking marijuana, possibly at 4:20pm.
Autumn 1971: Five teenagers came into possession of a hand-drawn map supposedly
locating a marijuana crop at Point Reyes, north-west of San Francisco.
The friends - who called themselves the Waldos because they used to hang out by a wall -
met after school, at 4:20pm, and drove off on their treasure hunt.
They never found the plot. :-[
"We were smoking a lot of weed at the time," says Dave Reddix or Waldo Dave,
now a 59-year-old filmmaker.
"Half the fun was just going looking for it."
The group began using the term 420.
So did friends and acquaintances, who included - at a couple of steps removed -
members of the Grateful Dead rock band.
The term spread among the band's fans, known as Deadheads. ::LOL::
