For some people (particularly some of those within cannabis culture, but also more widely), the number 420 (pronounced four-twenty) relates to the consumption of cannabis as a drug, and elements of its associated culture. The exact origin of the term is unknown. Cannabis users gather on April 20 ("4/20" in the United States dating shorthand) every year to celebrate and consume cannabis. 4:20p.m. (or even a.m.) is also a popular time to consume cannabis.[1] "420 friendly" is seen on advertisements for roommates, indicating that the housemates are tolerant of smoking cannabis

April 20th in the USA is Earth Day. A day traditionally reserved for 'getting back to nature". Those in the cannabis culture have adopted this as a date for the natural high. The numbers 420 have since expanded to include time of day and lifestyle preference
