Hi there, it's Bean and welcome to great moments in weed.

History, you are just in time for our annual retelling of the history of 420.

That's right! Just a week before the high holiday, we are bringing you the true story of this most exalted of days,

including precisely how it came to be officially unofficially the one

day of the year entirely dedicated to getting lit that's right call out of work it

should be a national holiday if weed is your sacrament no work just getting high

all day on 420 as far as why this beautiful holiday exists?

Well, no spoilers right now, but rest assured that 420 is not some kind of bullshit hallmark holiday.

Made up by the dispensaries and a bunch of slick weed brands to move product.

First of all, the 420 tradition dates back to the early 1970s, so it is pre-legalization by quite a long stretch.

Also, 420 is truly, and get ready for a weed pun, a grassroots affair, one that began with just five friends on a high-stakes

search to find a lost wheat garden. Now, if you've heard this story before, we hope you'll

settle in again this year for a classic episode that Abdullah and I first released on 420

all the way back in 2018.

And if you've never heard this one before, please prepare yourself for a bongwarming tale

of friendship, weed, and weedy friendship. What's my plans for 420 this year? Thanks for asking.

I'm going to be in Los Angeles for a few really, really fun events.

First, on 419, I'm going to be at the world famous comedy store in the audience to spend

420 Eve with friends of the podcast, Mike Glazer, and Billy Wayne Davis as part of a special

night of stand-up that will ring in the holiday at midnight.

So this is 420 Eve rolling into midnight, celebrating 420 at 12.1 a.m. and keeping it going strong from there.

Tickets to that are available via the
