I know, I'm slow. But, I just realized...
Every day this month is: 4-20!

The way back lore on 420:
"In 1971, five teenage boys at San Rafael High School created a code, 420, for the time to meet after school, get high and search for a plot of illegal marijuana planted by a member of the Coast Guard, whose map to the grow and permission to harvest it had found its way to them."
The reeference (sic) phrase has since made it's way into popular culture appearing in movies, television, and other media. Several states large enough to have a 420 mile marker on their roads have had to replace them with 419.9 due to the expense of replacing the signs after they were regularly stolen.
To be honest, I personally never was part of the doobie group. However, in present circumstances... I'm all for anything keeping people happy and at home.
