Résumé :
In this article, Karen Halnon describes marijuana users' perceptions of the concept of "420." Although it has various meanings for users, Halnon suggests that the phrase offers a collective identity for users. She traces the folklore associated with 420 and explores users' perceptions of the origins of the phrase. Although she concludes that its origins are unclear, she notes that 420 has important symbolic meaning for users, many of whom incorporate "cherished rituals" in drug use lifestyles.
