The History of 420 Remix
420 Remix began in 2004 as an initiative by the North Coastal Prevention Program (NCPC) in collaboration with the Vista Community Clinic (VCC). Since its launch, each event has inspired young people to make wise decisions, resist peer pressure, and lead healthy, drug-free lives.
