“420 Waldos”: The Very Odd Beginnings Of Marijuana’s Global Holiday [Video]

So what’s with “420” ? Why have these three numbers become intertwined with getting high? Some people say it’s because 420 is the police radio code in some jurisdictions for marijuana consumption, while others say it’s a Talmudic numerical extraction from the Bob Dylan song “Rainy Day Women #12 and 35.” But these and many other theories are incorrect; the true 420 origin story is far stranger.
