History of 4/20

[The-Instigator]

Just curious, what is the history behind this date and why did it involve marijuana? Note that this is NOT a joke topic... I really don't know the history behind this date and I'm too much of a sloth to find out XD.

I do know 4/20 is Adolph Hitler's birthday...

Potheads = Nazis

Interesting... so does that mean Cheech and Chong are secret Nazis? Because if they are, they hide it very well.(j/k) XB

Who needs a reason to smoke? It gets you high, that's reason enough for me. XD

I never understood smoking while playing a game based on reaction time...

Hitler's birthday and the Columbine anniversary. Yeah, great day.

Some kids a while back smoked weed after school at around 4:20 pm then the shit just caught on. At least that's what i've heard. Then again i've heard at least 10 different reasons this is Weed day.

@LeftHandLead
ever look at a 20 dollar bill....ON WEED!?

anywhoo the best story i've heard was that it started at some high school in cali where all the stoners would meet at 4:20pm and blaze. So when april 20 came around they treated the whole day as if it was 4:20PM. And since traditions like these spread it soon became a notion-wide holiday. here are some other explanations i've heard

420 is police code for someone that possesses mary J
4/20 is hitlers b-day
4/20 is the day marley died (which is wrong, he died in may from an infected toe)

4/20 is the day marley died (which is wrong, he died in may from an infected toe)

That's right he died on may 11th which is coincidentally my birthday
