(KGTV) — 4/20 is a day synonymous with smoking marijuana.
But why?
Some say 4-20 was the penal code section for marijuana use in California.
But that's fiction.
Section 4-20 refers to obstructing entry on public land.
Another rumor is that 4-20 was the police radio code for "Marijuana smoking in progress."
But that’s also not true.
The only police radio code we found that uses 4-20 is in Las Vegas, and it's used for a homicide.
So what's the truth?
The consensus is that 4-20 started in 1971 at San Rafael High School in Northern California.
That's the time a group of pot-smoking students met each day to do their thing.
