420 ?

[Coelho]

Im from Brasil and am not used to speak english, so i would know if someone can explain from where the expression '420' comes. It has something to do with the numbers (like b4, me 2, sk8, etc), or something like 24/7? (hehe my clock always says its 4:20... 24/7... )
If someone could enlighten me about this, please! :thumbsup:

And peace and plenty of weed for all! :jointsmile:

4/20 is April 20th, it's basically a national marijuana day.

"Snopes.com, High Times magazine, The Marijuana-Logues, and The Straight Dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue. One piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty". This theory is also the most cited and the most widely accepted."
