Something I for got about 420

google

I will go to google.com.

ive heard a few things the most accurate seems to be somethign about police response "we got a 420..." not sure tho

look at the date...

4/20/07?

Actually, in case you haven't noticed through all the smoke, the dope-y digits "420" are beginning to appear everywhere.
They're on T-shirts, hats and bumper stickers, in rap and rock lyrics.
It's become a code people use to identify with each other and talk to each other without letting outsiders know what's going on. Ninety-nine percent of the people outside of stoner culture have no idea what 420 means; but 99.9 percent of the people inside the culture, they know. ~Though it is believed that 420 is either police code for pot-smoking in progress or the number of compounds in tetrahydrocannabinol~ (also known as THC, the stuff in marijuana that gets users high), it's neither, police officers and scientists say.
Instead, it's simply the time of day a group of San Rafael High School students known as "The Waldos" set as their after-school marijuana meeting time back in 1971.
This according to Steve "Waldo," who says he's willing to take a lie-detector test to prove he and his friends created the number that is now No. 1 in cannabis culture. ~ Some very important historical facts that make April 20th the perfect date for a Stoner New Year~ The spring activist season has always kicked off around April 1st at Ann Arbor in Michigan. It's often too cold during the first week in April to draw a big crowd though. The second important date for political activists who are trying to relegalize cannabis is May 1st. The Annual May Day parade in New York started in Washington Square Park in 1973, and has been going on ever since, and is the last big date before the end of the college year. So April 20 fits in perfectly for gathering in protest of anti-marijuana laws, whether it's done privately and secretly or with thousands of others in public.
The traditional New Year's Day is also usually associated with alcohol consumption, so most hardcore stoners would prefer to celebrate their own New Year's on a different day. What better day than April 20, when spring is in the air and it's time to plant the seeds for the fall harvest? Cannabis smokers tend to be close to the earth, so a date of April 20th is the perfect time to celebrate the earth's renewal. The weather is turning nice, the leaves are appearing on the trees, and the flowers are beginning to bud. (Not cannabis flowers, the other kind).

dud you guys are messed, they call it 420 becouse hittler was born on the 4th month 20th day.

If you actually search the NS forums there were mad threads last year about it on 4.20

Origins and Observances

It is widely accepted that in 1971, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, calling themselves "The Waldos", used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. [2] [3] The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis,"[4] and it eventually caught on more widely. Many cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[5] [6]

There are also many apocryphal urban legends attempting to explain the origin of the term. Two of the most common of these are that 420 refers to the number of active ingredients in cannabis, or that it is police dispatch code for cannabis.[7] In actual fact there are around 315 active chemicals in cannabis, varying depending on the exact plant used, and 420 has never been verified as the police dispatch code for anything in any locale.

420 Campaign

The widespread popularity of 4/20 celebrations in the U.S. has brought about calls advocating for the reform of American marijuana laws. The 420 Campaign urges individuals to become involved in the political process and the drug policy reform movement. Specifically, the Campaign calls for leveraging "April 20th as a focal point every year to concentrate pressure on Congress to legalize marijuana."[8] In addition to contacting state and national legislators, people can take action by supporting organizations—such as NORML and MPP—that represent the interests of marijuana users and other concerned citizens.

its marley's birthday

true.

thats horribly incorrect

hitlers birthday**

hah wow

That is the most stupied I have ever heard.

cops say we got a 4 20, those waldo kids are claimers

Hitlers B-Day...haha

actually is stephen marleys birthday

quite wrong indeed. the number 420 has about as much to do with a cop code as it has to do with boning a girl while dancing.

so it has everything to do with a cop code.

^ never found the number 420 to have to do with boning a girl while dancing. however, when I think of boning a girl while dancing, I always think of quail man.

aaaand hitler has what to do with excessive pot smoking?

use the searchbar, mad threads about this last year

and when police are calling in a drug bust they call it a 420 in progress

bob marley died

correct

I don't think this is true. A lot of people outside the "stoner culture" knows what it is. My parents know, a bunch of kids who don't smoke know it. I think most people are aware that it has something to do with pot.

bob marley died on 4/20 some year. thats what i meant before, i guess i wasnt specific enough. plus, its probably already been said in this thread and i just didnt read all the posts

no they fucking dont, its been explained 50 times in this thread alone that that is a load of shit

you are retarted, 420 is the time in which kids would smoke weed after school together. It became popular nation wide and hence the day
