Celebrate 4/20! Discover the Origin of this Holiday

At Iguana Smoke, we are excited to join in the celebration of 4/20, an iconic date for cannabis lovers around the world. But where does this holiday really come from and what is its relationship to cannabis?

The origin of 4/20 has been the subject of various theories over time, but one of the most widely accepted dates back to a group of young California students in the 1970s. These young men, known as "The Waldos", would meet at 4:20 p.m. after school to search for a legendary abandoned marijuana grow. Although they never found the grow, the code "420" became a symbol of cannabis culture and a sign of encounters between users.

The 4/20 holiday has since grown and spread around the world, becoming a day to celebrate the cannabis plant, promote legalisation and awareness of its medicinal and recreational benefits.

In different parts of the world, 4/20 is celebrated in a variety of ways, from marches and awareness-raising events to simple gatherings of friends to enjoy the cannabis plant responsibly and safely.

The popularity of 4/20 has even reached popular culture, being referenced in films, songs and media as a symbol of the cannabis community.

At Iguana Smoke, we are proud to be part of this culture and offer our customers high quality products to enjoy cannabis responsibly. From vaporisers to smoking accessories, our shop is here to meet all your cannabis needs.
