4/20 Gift Ideas from The Mercantile
Why is April 20th a smoker’s holiday? According to urban legend, the number “420” was first associated with marijuana in the 1970’s when a group of highschoolers after school at 4:20 p.m. to search for a field of weed. They never found it, but over time “4:20” became code for a time to smoke, and people across the country began smoking at this time of day and on April 20th.
