• How the Pot Holiday 4/20 Came to Be (obrag.org) — Bolinas gets a brief nod in the origin story of 4/20, with Bolinas Ridge on Mt. Tamalpais cited as an early gathering spot promoted in a 1990s flier. The piece traces how San Rafael High students coined “420,” how the term spread through Grateful Dead circles and High Times magazine, and how today’s celebrations and legalization landscape grew from those roots.
