 On April 20th each year people who partake in cannabis/marijuana/weed celebrate 4/20. This originates from the agreed time of 4:20 when a group of students would gather to search for a marijuana crop using a treasure map gifted by the farmer. In pop culture the celebration has caught on especially with the broader acceptance of marijuana. Once more taboo and still so in some legal and religious circles, marijuana has “grown” to become a symbol of relaxation, rebellion as well as acknowledgement of its healing properties.
