It's strange that many hotels don't have the number 420.

If you pay attention, you'll notice that many hotels around the world omit room number 420, a favorite number among cannabis enthusiasts.

Although not very common, some hotels around the world have removed room number 420. The reason is that this room number is often associated with incidents involving guests dealing marijuana and other troublesome events.

In 1970, a group of University of California students began secretly gathering to smoke marijuana at 4:20 PM. Since then, the number 420 has become the origin of International Marijuana Day, recognized in many songs, films, and other cultural forms.

April 20th is celebrated by cannabis enthusiasts in various ways. One of the most common is stealing room number 420 signs from hotels as souvenirs.

For this reason, hotels have removed the troublesome room number 420. One hotel in Colorado, USA, which allows marijuana use, even had to print the room number on the door to prevent it from being stolen.

Cannabis is a plant used as a narcotic or for pain relief and medical treatment. It contains THC, a substance that, when inhaled, quickly induces feelings of lightheadedness, euphoria, and forgetfulness. Therefore, cannabis is a highly addictive drug, particularly appealing to young people. While most countries strictly prohibit the cultivation, processing, consumption, and use of cannabis, countries like Uruguay, the United States, and Mexico have legalized its use in certain circumstances.
