simple question
Why is 4:20 known as the international pot smoking time? where did this wonderful tradition come from?

FUCK the police

my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.

yeah, 420 is the call sign for a weed case...like 187 is the number for when a cop gets killed...example: 'this is car 68870 partroling North Hampton, we just drove by an alley and looks like we might have a 420, we'll go and check it out, over.'

Yeah, they don't use 420 anymore though, it's a different call sign.

ohh, it makes sense, someone told me that is the time of day that people get together and toke up, which doesnt make much sense because its pretty early in the day.

yah rumor has it that '420' is the california police call sign for pot posession. i have no idea how that translated into smoking a bowl at 4:20 though.

Cams is correct, it was in cannibus culture too, it started in California with a a group of kids, it was the time they smoked, and it turned into a codename for smoking after school.

311 doesn't mean a hooker with an actual grenade launcher. It means a hooker with a penis. They never arrest people for a 311 because they just sit back and laugh at whoever buys them.

i doubt that it came from april 20th but rather they chose that day b/c of 420. out of all your theories i believe the cop call signal the most.
