Origins of 420

As I was smoking a few bowls I get a random thought of 420 and its origins, for 5 years now I have always referd to the meaning of 420 hitlers birthday (april 20) (04-20) and I always thought it was celebrated at 4:20 on april 20, but i remember kids now smoking on random days at 4:20, so I googled it to find its orgins and suposingly it has many diffrent myths

1) 420 was a dispatch code for maryjuana cops used....
2) People beleave 4:20 pm is the best time to smoke and appreciate herb...
3) Snd some say hitlers birthday, wtf why smoke on his birthday.

And some more I forget about now.

So what are your thoughts of 420?

ive also heard that there are 420 different chemicals in herb

No, it started with a group of kids in the '70s. Their time to light up everyday was 4:20 pm and it stuck and kind of became tradition.

That is not a myth.

make it legal is right that is what i heard too

i also heard that in america when students were looking for flat mates they would put 420 friendly on the add to let people know your good to toke with them.

Yup... They went to San Rafael High School in San Rafael, CA... They would meet up every day at 4:20 at the Louis Pasture statue to smoke... :bong:

There isn't any way of proving any of that.

But in my case it's funny cause, I wake up around 2:30 in the afternoon so I end up smoking at 4:20 (either first or second time if i wake n bake).
And I get home from work at 2:00 in the morning. So I end up smoking at 4:20 (usually its my last bowl of the night).

lol. I'm always smoking and realizing that it's 4:20. It makes me smile everytime.

why would we wanna smoke on hitlers birthday wtf. he was an ass

There are 420 cannabinoids in Marijuana.
