The world's cannabis code was born here: in 1971 five San Rafael High School pupils, the Waldos, met at 4:20 in the afternoon to hunt an abandoned crop, and "420" spread from their circle to the calendar.[@3] [420 began in San Rafael.](/culture/language/420/) San Francisco wrote the medical movement: Brownie Mary handed out brownies on AIDS wards alongside activist Dennis Peron, carrying the state to Proposition 215 in 1996.[@4] [Brownie Mary and Dennis Peron drove Proposition 215.](/culture/people/dennis-peron/)

+# Expansion batch 2026-10-28 — USA states 1 (ca, tx, fl, ny, pa)
+
+Five largest states, one at a time: penalty tables from each state's law, context sections
+where the state differs from the national profile, history/culture links. State segments cite
+numbered file sources inline; the schema forbids `sources:` on state segments, so
+`country-gaps.cjs` "texts with no source at all" on segments is a script blind spot, not a gap.
+
+## ca (California) — committed
+File: `countries/us/ca.yaml` (the documented model state file).
+- recreational: added history links (2016 wave incl. California, 1972 vote, Prop 19 2010).
+- New `medical`: Prop 215 (1996) / HSC §11362.5, doctor's recommendation.
+- New `culture`: 420 born in San Rafael 1971 (Waldos) + SF medical movement (Brownie Mary / Peron).
+- New numbered sources: 420 wiki, Brownie Mary wiki, HSC §11362.5 (leginfo URL pattern as §11362.1).
+- Audit: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Review page `.cache/page-review/country/us/ca/` verified (420, Brownie Mary, Prop 215/19, 1972 all render).
+- Left: clubs/driving/visitors/arrests sections (no sourced claims found yet); atlas unlinked list is national-level, not CA-actionable.
