Wisconsin cannabis law reform supporters celebrate 4/20 across the state
MADISON: Cannabis law reform supporters across Wisconsin will be joining their cannabis colleagues across the nation and world in celebrating April 20 or 4/20 with at least three events Tuesday.
According to Wikipedia, “The term originated from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, in 1971″. They would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis. In recent years it has blossomed into a major counterculture holiday, with more celebrations each year.
