So me and my friend were having a discussion over the quote:

but pleaded for the right to fight against
the erring world, to serve the seed from which
there grew the four-and-twenty plants that ring you.


So the seed from which there grew the 420 plants that ring you (or put you to sleep) is he speaking of weed?

It sounds like he is, but the thing is 420 was not a known 'stoner holiday' or weed reference when the book was written, so is he really talking about weed?
