420 (cannabis culture) Legalize Marijuana

Not only was recreational cannabis legalized in Colorado first, but University of Colorado Boulder, CU Boulder, had a strong role in the movement. Colorado was one of the first major universities in the country to make on-campus cannabis penalties the same as alcohol penalties. Around the same time, CU students began holding public smokeouts at Farrand Field on April 20, or 4:20 4/20, giving the school a famous-but-undesirable reputation in the eyes of university officials.

Origin Of 420 In Colorado: Past And Present

April 20 (04/20) is a big day for weed lovers. Lots of people in Colorado love getting legally high every April 20th, especially when the clock strikes 4:20. It’s a counterculture holiday, and the origin of 420 in Colorado is greatly due to the activists at the University of Colorado Boulder’s campus smoke fest before later expanding to Denver’s Civic Center – and beyond. 420 in Colorado is growing into recognized celebration attracting people from all over the world to the sunny state.

People love 420 so much that the Mile Marker 420 sign on I-70 was replaced with one reading 419.99 because so many people stole the originals. Since the 1970s, 420 has been used as a code all over the world. On becoming increasingly popular, its meaning became more apparent, even to people who aren’t into weed, but it remains an almost universally-known catchphrase. It was necessary, in the beginning, because of the laws preventing weed use.

Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, 420 is part of our culture, but more as a celebration and a way of spreading the word! The meaning of 420 can apply to marijuana, accessories, shops, a smoke session and just about anything related to the plant. You’ll see dispensaries advertising 420 in the name or description of brands, products and services. Items you see in the stores are often labeled with names referring to 420. It’s a fun, easy way to inject a bit of history and pop culture into what is now a perfectly legal recreational activity.

The best way to celebrate 420, whether it’s on April 20 or every day now that it’s legal in Colorado, is with high-quality, legalized recreational weed. While we don’t need to use the 420 phrase to hide what we’re up to or to talk discreetly about our love for weed, it’s still fun shorthand that nearly everyone can recognize. 

The next time you grab your bong, or go looking for 420 license plates, you’ll understand exactly what those three numbers mean, and how they came to be.
