Any bunny got weed? Easter Sunday, 4/20 will fall on the same day this year Show Caption Hide Caption The future of marijuana legalization Here's what you need to know about the future of marijuana legalization in the United States, from its racist beginnings to today. The unofficial marijuana holiday also landed on Easter Sunday in 2003 and 2014. The story behind 4/20 remains murky. Some believe it's an ode to Bob Dylan's "Rain Day Women #12 & 35." Others associate it with the commonly used police radio code for marijuana, 420. The next year 4/20 and Easter Sunday land on the same day is 62 years from now in 2087. Here comes Peter Cottontail, tokin' down the bunny trail. Call it luck, fate or a silly coincidence, but 4/20 and Easter Sunday fall on the same day this year. This year, Sunday, April 20, is both Easter and 4/20, the unofficial marijuana holiday celebrated worldwide. Though the two events aren't directly related, some worshippers and consumers will partake in both. Here's what to know about the alignment, including the last time it happened and the next time it will happen again. What is 4/20? The story behind how 4/20 became the unofficial marijuana holiday remains murky, but there are a few popular theories. Some believe the holiday is representative of "420," a radio code that has been used for police to indicate marijuana. Others tie the "holiday" to Bob Dylan's song "Rain Day Women #12 & 35," with its refrain, "Everybody must get stoned" and the product of multiplying 12 by 35 is 420, according to PBS. The most likely story though, is one that centers around a group of California high school friends in the 1970s. According to PBS, a brother of one of these friends allegedly grew marijuana in the woods near the school and was paranoid about being caught. He drew up a map of where to find the marijuana and gave it to the friend group to harvest. One day during the 1971 fall semester, at precisely 4:20 p.m., the friends smoked a joint and headed out to the woods, looking for the stash. Though they were never table to find it, their code "420," caught on, as the friend group hung around the Grateful Dead a fair amount, according to PBS. And despite what some people think, no, Bob Marley wasn't born on April 20. He was born on Feb. 6, 1945. And he didn't die on 4/20 either. That was on May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. Has 4/20 landed on Easter Sunday before? Yes, the unofficial marijuana holiday has landed on Easter Sunday before. Since 2000, the two "holidays" lined up in 2003 and 2014. When will it happen again? The next time 4/20 and Easter Sunday land on the same day is in 2087, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea? Email her at gcross@
