A number of myths abound, perhaps the most popular being that 420 is the police code used to signify possession of marijuana (it's not).The term was actually coined in 1971 in San Rafael, Calif., by a group of friends who met outside their school each day to search for a rumored plot of abandoned pot (nice alliteration, right?). Their chosen time to meet? You guessed it: 4:20.
The group had associations with the band the Grateful Dead, and it's been assumed that the band began using the term, spreading it among their followers. Later it was picked up by marijuana magazine High Times, and it wasn't long before it went viral. So there you have it!
If 420 is your thing then we have plenty of embroidered patch styles to suit your tastes. This particularly awesome 420 club member patch measures 3 X 1.25 inches and has die cut borders for a sleek look. Sew it or iron it on to just about anything (avoid heat pressing onto leather, that would be bad.) Toke it up!
