420 is not police code for marijuana. There is a California Penal Code - PEN § 420:

California Code, Penal Code - PEN § 420
Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

Every person who unlawfully prevents, hinders, or obstructs any person from peaceably entering upon or establishing a settlement or residence on any tract of public land of the United States within the State of California, subject to settlement or entry under any of the public land laws of the United States; or who unlawfully hinders, prevents, or obstructs free passage over or through the public lands of the United States within the State of California, for the purpose of entry, settlement, or residence, as aforesaid, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

The conventional wisdom is it was the time of day, back in the 1970s, that some high school students in San Rafael, CA would get together after school to smoke some pot.
