How did 420 become "the weed number"
There are tons of stupid excuses people have made up My reasoning is a bunch of stupid stoners needed a excuse to waste weed and abuse the drug
Has someone wished you a Happy 420 today? It's probably not because he or she is celebrating Riddler's birthday, although he was born on April 20, or 4/20. More likely they're marking the counterculture holiday unofficially known as National Weed Day.There are all sorts of rumors about how the term 420 came to be associated with lighting up a joint, but according to the myth-busting website Snopes.com, it was born in the 1970s at San Rafael High School in California, where about a dozen students gathered each day at 4:20 p.m. to smoke pot.Over the years, theories about the meaning of 420 have pointed to California's penal code section for marijuana use, the police radio code for smoking pot, and the best day to plant cannabis, according to Snopes.Dozens of rallies around the country were planned today to call for the legalization of marijuana. The executive director of the pro-pot organization NORML, Allen St. Pierre, is urging supporters to donate $420 to support a ballot initiative in California that would effectively legalize cannabis.The issue is gaining ground in the age of President Barack Obama, writes Ryan Grim, the author of "This Is Your Country on Drugs: The Secret History of Getting High in America." In a roundup of efforts across the nation to decriminalize marijuana, Grim says the "momentum is thanks to Obama's announcement that he would not raid shops or patients operating within state laws."
Those are all just theories sham. there is no solid evidence as to why 4/20 holds any significance.Just because a news sites tries to capitalize on today doesn't add legitimacy to the story
420 years ago today on 4/20 the moon was weed coloured
Time to roll up some leaves and smoke them hoping I get some sort of high
