There is a long history to explain why the date (and time) 420 has become associated with marijuana, and there are a lot of stories that attempt to explain the connection. Everything from a numerological connection to a Bob Dylan song to the number of chemical compounds found in weed are all stories that get told. But the true story goes back to some stoner kids in the 1970s who had friendships with the Grateful Dead, and the rest is urban legend!

Many a pot lover the world over celebrates the magickal plant that we call weed on this day.
