Hip Hop has historically turned up for the annual smokers holiday, 420, which landed on Saturday (April 20) this year.

“Weed Day,” as it’s commonly referred to in certain circles, is rumored to correspond with a numerical code for marijuana — but that’s not exactly true.

According to CNN, Chris Conrad — curator of the Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum in Oakland — said 420 began as a secret code among high schoolers in the early 70s.

A group of friends at San Rafael High School in Marin County — who called themselves “the Waldos — would often meet at 4:20 p.m. to smoke. Not only were they out of school, but their parents were normally still at work, allowing them the time to get high.

From there, the 4:20 time became a code for them to use in plain sight of their parents, and it gradually spread from there.

Like clockwork, the Hip Hop community found various ways to commemorate this year’s 420.
