So as you may or may not have noticed, we didn’t post anything for 420. If you don’t know what 420 is, than we feel bad for you, but we are here to help you, not laugh at you for sucking at knowing things. Instead you get a treat!

Here is the official explanation from Wikipedia:

4204:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabissubculture. The date 4/20 is sometimes referred to as “Weed Day” or “Pot Day”.[1] The term was coined from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971.[2][3] The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana outside the school.[4] According to an April 2009 article on the The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school. Writer Ryan Grim, citing interviews with anonymous Waldos, claims that the group met by the statue at 4:20 p.m. to begin a search for a crop of abandoned cannabis growing near Point Reyes that they had heard about. They never found the stash, Grim writes, but smoked plenty of marijuana while looking for it.” Here is a video of a fuckton of people at Boulder, CO taking part in the festivities. 4/20 is taken very serious there and it’s basically the mecca of the holiday.
