Embrace 4/20 With These Nicknames For All Things Weed

It's 4/20: the unofficial day to get high celebrated by marijuana activists, high school students and weed-lovers across North America.

Now there doesn't seem to be an exact origin for 4/20 itself, but the term can be traced back to a group of high school students in San Rafael, Calif. Turns out a group of five students at San Rafael High School called the "Waldos" — because they used to hang out by a wall — coined the term in 1971.

Other myths say it is police code for "marijuana smoking in progress, and we've also heard 4/20 being directly related to getting high after school (at 4:20 p.m.).
