#122: From Code to Culture:
The Evolution of 420
It began as a whispered code between five California high schoolers in the 1970s. “420” — a seemingly innocuous number — would go on to become the most iconic symbol of cannabis culture in the world.
Today, 420 isn’t just a time or a date — it’s a global celebration, a cultural marker, and a moment of reflection. It marks how far cannabis has come — from taboo to mainstream, from prohibition to progress — and how far it still has to go. As the cannabis industry matures and the culture continues to grow, 420 is a reminder of the past, a celebration of the present, and a call to action for the future.
A celebration that transcends borders
What started in California by the Waldos has gone global. On April 20th, cities from Vancouver to Amsterdam, London to Sydney, and many more join in on the celebration. This annual event has become a unifying force for millions of people around the world, creating a sense of community and connection that transcends borders.
In Canada, where we have had legal access to recreational cannabis since 2018, the day takes on even more significance. It's a symbol of how far we've come, from the days of stigma and criminalization to a more progressive and accepting society.
Meanwhile, in the United States, a patchwork of state laws means that the celebration is more widespread in some areas than others. Prohibition is still very much in effect at the federal level, which makes the activist roots of 4/20 even more relevant.
And internationally, countries like Germany, Uruguay, and Thailand are joining the conversation, showing that 420 has become more than just a North American phenomenon — it’s a date that resonates with people worldwide.
Celebrations in Canada
What began as an annual protest and counterculture event in Canada, has now become a nationwide celebration. Instead of protesting against the criminalization of cannabis, Canadians now gather to celebrate its legalization and acceptance.
Gone are the days of 40,000 people gathering at Vancouver's Sunset Beach for the annual 420 protest. Now, events are more low-key and tame in comparison. If you're looking to celebrate 420 in Canada, there are still plenty of options to choose from:
