Every year, World Weed Day is commemorated today, on April 20 because the date corresponds with the numerical code (420) for marijuana. Despite the fact that the substance is illegal, a considerable number of individuals go to the streets of the US on this day to commemorate this occasion. In some ways, 4/20 is treated as a holiday for both smokers and non-smokers together. Therefore the number, 420 is marked especially for World Weed Day.

According to the experts, people and even doctors ask to use marijuana (weed) for the treatment of many types of diseases and health problems.

Why 420 was invented for World Cannabis Day?

The precise roots of the phrase 420 have not been officially declared, despite its rapid rise in popularity over the years.

Many people who participate in both the day and the drug have debated the word.

According to folklore, back in 1971, when a group of students from San Rafael High School in California got together every day at 4.20 pm for a joint and a catch-up.

The group, known as The Waldos, then began to use the number 420 to refer to the act of smoking marijuana, and so 420 was created.

Because Americans tend to write the 20th of April as 4/20, it became the official day to commemorate getting high.

There are several alternative hypotheses on this.
