The High Points: Memorable Moments From 4/20 Celebrations   The history behind why celebrating marijuana happens on 4/20 each year is the epitome of a grassroots movement. Though there are a few conflicting theories on the origins, 420’s first recorded anecdotes came to be known from some scribbled letters written from a group of friends known as the Waldos from Northern California in 1970.  One of the friend’s brothers was scared of getting busted for a patch of cannabis he was growing in the woods at nearby Point Reyes, so he drew up a map and gave the Waldos permission to go ..read more

Reluctant as always t ..read more
