The Colorado Department of Transportation says the 420 mile markers
on the state's highways were stolen so often, they had to replace
them with 419.99 mile markers. Many people know that "420"
represents marijuana - hence the popularity of the mile markers -
but very few know why. It's not a police code, it's not the number
of chemical compounds in cannabis, and it's certainly not Bob
Marley's birthday. Today on the show, we try to find the real story
and in the process meet Steve Capper and Dave Reddix who, as high
schoolers, followed a treasure map in search of the illicit
crop. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Sign up
