Will you be celebrating 420?

i belive that 4/20, or 420 is police code for marijuana possesion, thus the chosen date for pothead celebration. i could be incorrect, though.

That's an urban legend, the real origin is unknown....

I answered 'no'. :) I had occassion to celebrate 420 for only four years, while I was in graduate school. I left school 33 years this June, and I haven't smoked since. I don't even KNOW anybody who smokes. I'm glad I did it then, and I'm glad I don't do it now. I need the money! :)

Hahaha, I thought this was some crazy neo-nazi thread! (April 20th is Hitlers birthday). As far as I know, we dont celebrate this in Euroland. Ive never heard of it, anyway. Besides, I smoke weed pretty much every day, I dont need a special day to devote to it.

haha;. yeah i heard the police code and hitlers birthday, but its all this and that, i don't know how it got started, isn't it also teh date of columbine?

this made me curious so i checked it out. turns out you are right, Sun, the columbine shootings did take place on Tuesday, April 20th, 1999. interesting. i wonder if the feds tried to pin that on weed just to further push it into the catagory of "bad things".
