''We will not tolerate anybody coming to San Francisco for 4/20,'' San Francisco Mayor London Breed warned last week. ''It is not safe to gather in larger groups of people, in Golden Gate Park or anywhere else.'' — SF Rec and Park April 17, 2020 “We’ve got a new 'Cheech and Chong' game app. It’s funny how it's coming out right at the right time. It’s a game app called ‘Cheech and Chong’s Bud Farm,'" Chong said. ''It’s a game that you can play indoors while you’re under quarantine. It’s perfect."
"I think, nature, especially Mother Nature, said, ‘OK, enough. You ain’t listening to me, you keep polluting and so we’re just gonna give you a little something to keep you busy for a while. You’re not going to burn any fossil fuel, you’re not going to make any more plastic garbage and you’re going to sit in your house till you learn the lesson. And if you don’t learn the lesson then we’re just gonna keep doing this until you do,''' Chong said.
''I was talking to a guy on the phone the other day, and he said he was a 'stay-at-home dad.' And I said, 'Well, we’re all 'stay-at-home' now. I’m a stay-at-home Waldo,'' said Capper. "We’d pass each other and go '4:20 Louie?'" recalled Reddix."After about the fourth week of looking for the weed patch, we dropped the 'Louie' and we would just look at each other and go '4:20.'"

Skeptical, Hager traveled to California to see the Waldos' evidence, which included a 420 flag one of their friends made in the early 1970s and letters with postmarks from the early 1970s in which they referenced 420. Hager wrote an article that appeared in the December 1998 edition of High Times, solidifying the Waldos as the originators of the 420 term.
''I don’t know if folks who haven’t been around as long as I have can really appreciate the magnitude of this, but as late as 2016 I was still fighting, spending millions of dollars going to court week in and week out trying to keep the federal government from seizing the property that we were operating in,'' DeAngelo, chairman emeritus of Harborside cannabis dispensaries in California, told ABC News.
''I think that you’re going to see a variety of changes with inhaled forms of cannabis," he said."Anything that involves sharing a device or a joint, I think is something that people are going to be looking at very, very carefully for quite a long while."
