stray wrote:420 was the police code for Marijuana posession, and "High Times" made it a holiday in the 60's.
Kind of an F- off to the cops... course, every cop knows it now, and busts go up a whole lot today... but who cares?
And what do you guys have against reefer? I dont smoke myself, but I dotn care if you do. To instantly discount someone who smokes weed as stupid or a pothead or whatever is ignorant... some of you should ask your parents about weed...
Thats not true either...and High Times even wrote the article with the real meaning of 4:20, so dont know where you are getting that information...thats a myth, and they did a study that showed that none of the 50 states, EVER had a code 420 for marijuana, and even listed different states description for their 420 codes...so you have misinformation
There was a group of teens in the 60's (it was a popular group, they had a name but i forget it) that just happened to setup a meet every day at 4:20 pm, after class, and they would all smoke...It all started at the time, and in the 60's people would say ' its 4:20 light it up'..and just picked up from there...but now people associate everything w/ 420 and weed...its funny because you see a lot of little things on tv, like on the simpsons, and commercials like that old got milk commercial w/ the guy eating a brownie on the bus, and passing a sign that says "milk, next exit 420 miles"...dont know if u ever remember that
