The 420 Festival In Amsterdam


History The real origin of 420 dates back to 1971, when five high school students: Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich in San Rafael, California, who called themselves the Waldos ( their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school, hence the name), went on a hunt for a plot of cannabis plants that were supposedly growing near the Point Reyes Peninsula Coast Guard Station. They would meet at 4:20pm outside their school to drive to the area and carry out the search many times. Though they never found the patch, the numbers 420 becake a useful code for them to communicate with each other.
