Today, we'll learn about the origin and history of the phrase 420 as a reference to marijuana use. As part of that discussion, we'll look at various video games that depict marijuana use, including Drug Wars, which was originally released in 1984. We'll also talk about D.A.R.E and how public views on marijuana use have changed over the past 30 years. So join us for today's super high trip down Memory Card Lane.
