420 Decoded: The Real Story and How to Celebrate it with Tri-Healthy

Something tells us this week’s a good time to stock up.

You’ve probably seen or heard the number 420—especially around April. But what does it actually mean? And why do people get excited about it every year?

Let’s break it down in a way that’s simple, interesting, and easy to vibe with.

What Does 420 Mean?

420 (four-twenty) started as a code word for cannabis. What began as an inside joke among friends has grown into a worldwide celebration held every year on April 20th (4/20)—a day to relax, connect, and enjoy cannabis-friendly products in whatever way feels right to you.

Where Did 420 Come From?

Did you know that 420 didn’t actually start on April 20th?

Here’s a fun fact: 420 didn’t start on April 20th—it started at 4:20 PM.

Back in the 1970s, a group of high school friends in San Rafael, California, met after school at that exact time to hunt for a rumored cannabis plant. They used “420” as their secret code—and even though they never found the plant, the number stuck.

With a little help from music fans (especially the Grateful Dead crowd), 420 became a part of cannabis culture, and eventually, April 20th became its unofficial holiday.

420 is now one of the biggest days in cannabis culture. Whether you're a long-time enthusiast or just curious, here are some popular ways people celebrate:

Here’s how a lot of people enjoy it:

  • Hanging out with friends
  • Exploring new CBD or THC products
  • Visiting local shops for 420 deals (read til the end for a surprise!)
  • Watching favorite movies or listening to music
  • Taking a well-deserved break from stress

Whether you go all out or keep it low-key, 420 is about finding what works for you.
