Original Title: TIL that "420" started in 1971 when a group of high schoolers in San Rafael, CA, met at 4:20 to hunt for an abandoned marijuana crop. They called themselves "the 420," and the term spread through friends—some of whom were connected to the Grateful Dead—eventually becoming a global cannabis code.
