420 refers to cannabis culture slang for marijuana and hashish consumption, especially smoking around 4:20 p.m. It also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20 (4/20). The term "420" has become widely recognized, with some states even having mile markers replaced to avoid the association. Books about cannabis often include "420" in their titles. Some people believe “420” is code among police officers for “marijuana smoking in progress,” or that it relates to Adolf Hitler’s birthday or Bob Dylan's song "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35." However, these rumors about the history behind 4/20 and its association with marijuana are false.
