*touches*

*licks*

 

You're so not into this

 

haven't you seen those bumper stickers: "it's 4:20, tie to share some with your buds" printed on a pot leaf"

any, something i found:

The Origin Revealed


According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers.

A quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option.

Whatever! Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time". It certainly doesn't matter too much where the term came from because for us parents, it's a flag, a warning sign that our teenagers may be into something that could harm their future. When you see the symbol 420, be aware of what it represents.



LOL. the article made it sound like they're shooting up heroin.

 

btw, 4/20 is hitler's birthday. seems to me that if the nazi's were getting stoned, the holocaust would never have happened.

 

Hmmm, no, I can honestly say that I have never seen any of those bumper stickers before!

Thanks for the info lace and feet and KC! At least now I know what the big hoopla is about.

 

you now know more about it that 99% of the people who use the term.

 

haha aww man
i wonder if wheres waldo was invented by "the Waldos"

 

dude, that would so make sense.

 

hahaha i freaking love it

 

Some damn group of Sublime potheads always has to get me stoned on 4/20...

Yes, Sublime potheads, not the intelligent sort...

Getting so stoned is just not enjoyable though.

 

OC stoners, eh? fucking embarassing and excruciating.

 

:lol:
i'm sure that must be awefully terrible for you

 

I don't know... I just have a thing against people who's favourite band is Sublime and refer to themselves as a "hippie" at the same time. Those tend to be the sort that take advantage of girls, get into fights, and force you to listen to Smoke Two Joints, one of the worst songs in the world.

 

i love sublime
there will be no doing it in the road!!

 

anyone who pays homage to garden grove california deserves to be dead.

 

I like Sublime alright... as long as it's not your favourite band, then you're alright with me.

 

Sublime have got that whole arrogant stoner hip-hop hippy thing going on, and they're kind of outdated. I am wary of them, but still like them.
