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?

El origen del 4/20 ha sido objeto de diversas teorías a lo largo del tiempo, pero una de las más aceptadas se remonta a un grupo de jóvenes estudiantes de California en la década de 1970. Estos jóvenes, conocidos como “Los Waldos”, se reunían a las 4:20 p.m. después de clases para buscar un legendario cultivo de marihuana abandonado. Aunque nunca encontraron el cultivo, el código “420” se convirtió en un símbolo de la cultura del cannabis y en una señal de encuentro entre consumidores.

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.
