Dumb Question............4/20 ?????

mikeyvee · **Posted:** Fri Apr 20, 2012 9:50 am

Since I have smoked pot, probably 3 times in my life, I thought I'd ask a nieve question. I'm sure that someone here can give me the straight answer. I just want to know the significance of 4/20 linked to pot? I'm sure I can google it, but thought I'd ask.
Thank you!

Mikey

I seem to recall it being something to do with some stoners who arranged to meet at 4:20am to search for something. They used a code of 4:20 and the town name or something like that.

I've also heard it being a certain state's police code for marijuana usage but I wouldn't know if there's any truth in that, nor in the first example.

That was a good question. I don't know the answer. But I do know, during the day, as the day wears on, 4:20 is usually around the time to smoke. After you've been partying all night long, 4:20 in the morning is a good time to smoke. Although I don't really partake anymore, I am relating back to my weed smoking days. That's my input.

I always wondered about that myself. I looked around and it turns out the the code 420 came from a group of five San Rafael High School friends known as the Waldos - by virtue of their chosen hang-out spot, a wall outside the school - coined the term in 1971.

Wow. Had no idea of the history. Funny since I was born 4/20 in 1971. Hence 42071 at the end of my bunny boards name...lol
