There are various theories on why April 20th or 4/20 has become synonymous with Marijuana but, the one that holds up as the most credible is down to teenagers. In the 1970s, 5 teens in California used 420 as a code and a meetup time for "smoking up". However, the 420 grew due to the connections these kids had with The Grateful Dead. Mark Gravitch’s father managed real estate for the Dead and Dave Reddix’s brother was friends with the band's bassist Phil Lesh, which helped Dave to get a job with the band as a roadie. In December of 1990, flyers were being passed around by Deadheads that invited people to smoke on 4/20 at 4:20, from there it was picked up by High Times magazine and the use of the 420 code spread.(https://time.com/4292844/420-april-20-marijuana-pot-holiday-history/).

"A fascinating journey into the booming business of legal cannabis: the first deeply reported story of how marijuana shed its stigma and came to be embraced by new and unlikely enthusiasts, from "Chardonnay Moms," to health and wellness fanatics, to aging baby boomers. From headlines like "Pets on Pot" to Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart "putting the pot back into potluck" in their Emmy-nominated show on VH1, to the array of CBD lotions and oils for sale at CVS and Sephora, to Arizona Iced Tea making a run at selling THC-infused drinks, one thing is clear: Marijuana has fully entered the mainstream. Drawing on exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in the world of cannabis, Cabot explores the economic, social, and cultural forces that have collided to create a frenetic gold rush mentality that has spurred new culinary trends, inspired innovative new uses for health, beauty and wellness, and attracted tens of millions in investor dollars while generating hundreds of thousands of jobs and untold tax revenue. All as cannabis remains federally illegal in America. Cabot takes readers on the road with Snoop Dogg and his business partner Ted Chung as they roll out the star's own brand of bud; to wine country, where chefs and vintners are harkening a new age of elevated dining; on the wild adventures of marijuana mogul Beth Stavola, where vaults of cash, armed guards and shady characters are just another day at the office; to the Marijuana Business Convention, as professionals gather to see cutting-edge technology for growing, manufacturing, and packaging a whole new generation of consumer products.
