420 was a "lid" back in the day. A baggie, full 4 fingers tall, for $20. Inflation is a bitch

Happy holidays :eyes:

Haha, the smoking crowd is great. It's a "big day" for you, but you aren't even sure why.

It's not that I am not sure, I just can't remember.

I actually have heard hundreds of reasons why 420 is the time/day/hour

I personally think some stoner group of kids used it as their code word for smoke. Maybe the used it like police code? anyway, code words spread like wild fire, and the fact that your so stoned when you hear it makes it so you dont even question it, in your head it makes perfect sence and it is now fact that 420= the perfect codeword for weed and the parents/authorities will NEVER know what it means, ofcourse the next time your stoned you tell EVERYONE how clever the stoners are by using 420=weed.

This code word made it into everyday life for almost everyone because of how tight lipped a stoner is!

Wikipedia has an entry about the origin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29

Wikipedia cites this Huffington Post page as the source.

Of course, I'm not vouching for its accuracy.

Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?

dirtbagXJ2103 · Apr 20, 2010

yes inflation blows but the stuff we have now would put that dirt back in the day to shame/comma

in2fords · Apr 20, 2010

yep, even after dry keefing my goods its still potent enough to put a horse in a coma!!

I've even learned how to make hash, the cold way with ice and filters, it is FUN!!

ofcourse all this is legal, I wouldnt do anything to upset the government these days. Not only is the product better but the penalties are far higher! at least now we have cards to help keep them off our backs.

It's commonly known in law enforcement that skinheads and other white power types mark April 20th as Adolf Hitler's birthday.

IF it had anything to do with Hitler they'd be using Meth not Weed!

When I was in school I heard it was either the day or the time that Jerry Garcia died I'm not sure if its true.There's gotta be thousands of ideas why that day and time has to do with smiking.

if you guys are gunna smoke up, at least do something creative like paint or draw something. dont just sit around and waste air

I always thought it was because 4-20= Earth day. When you think of Earth, you think of green. 4-20 = green.
