What is 4/20 and why is it celebrated on April 20?
4/20 is a holiday that celebrates marijuana.
But the origins of why it is celebrated on April 20 are a mystery.
One theory comes from the former editor of a marijuana-focused news outlet.
Steve Hager told the New York Times that it could have been started by a group of high school students in the States in the 70s.
According to Hager, students in California would smoke weed at 4:20pm every day.
4/20 would eventually become the code for when students wanted to smoke weed.
