Hey friends, Happy 420! We hope everyone is enjoying the high holiday and takes a moment to be thankful that they can celebrate because of the tireless work and protest of so many that came before us. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏
Here's a little history on 420 that we borrowed from an article that was published in Forbes today:
"At 4:20 one afternoon in 1971, five San Rafael High School friends in Marin County, California, huddled around the campus’ statue of Louis Pasteur and studied a hand-drawn map while they passed around a joint. The “X” marked the spot where a friend’s brother had supposedly grown a few ma*****na plants that were ready to be harvested on Point Reyes Peninsula.
The group, who called themselves the “Waldos” because they liked sitting on a campus wall to t**e up, piled into a car and drove to Point Reyes in search of the cannabis.
“This went on for weeks,” recalls Dave Reddix, one of the Waldos who’s now a filmmaker. “We would remind each other in the hallway, ‘420 Louis’ which became code to meet at the statue, get high and find the patch. We never found the patch.”
