I've always wanted to know what 420 actually means.
I used to think it was a police code.
I googled it, and found that people think it's do with the number of chemicals found in cannabis.
Some say it's to do with the national cannabis holiday April 20th (also Hitlers birthday).
Does any of you Oldskoolers really know?

4:20 time to smoke!

I believe there is no 420 police code?
I believe there is only 370 odd chemicals in cannabis?
April 20th, I believe was selected after 420 became popular?

As far as I understand it, it started with a bunch of school kids some 40-50 years ago, 4:20 was the time they were to meet to burn it up. 420 then became code for exactly that, smoking it up.

Well thats my take on the 420 thingo

From the Book Buds for less, by seemorebuds.

"In the 1970's a group of teenagers at San Rafael High Schoo in San Rafael California met every day after school at 4:20 P.M. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. Evidence supporting an origin of the term 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty" This theory is also the most widely accepted."
