although I do not participate in the celebration, I definitely don't hold it against anyone that enjoys the activity. (i prefer my vices from a glass) ... in observance of the 420 show your coins with a 4 or a 20 in the date .. or the grade
regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    They celebrate 4/20 day here in Colorado so much that they can't keep a Mile Marker 420 on the freeway. If you go out I-70 towards Kansas, Mile Marker 419 is followed by Mile Marker 419.99 and then 421.

    Back in the 1970s I think, high school kids at San Rafael High School in CA used to meet at 4:20PM after school to smoke pot.
    420 became code for smoking pot..."lets 420" became the mantra.

    more then likely there were many more happy people (fwiw) yesterday then most others. just saying
  • NotSureNotSure Posts: 2,979 ✭✭✭
    I'm in for some brownies!!!

    When johnny9434 says 'there were many more happy people (fwiw) yesterday then most others....', I'd venture a guess, and say all those 'happy people' yesterday are 'happy' every day!! Daily 'happy people' don't need no stinkin' reason!!! And alot of us, er, them, 'bow down' at 4:20 (pm OR am, the clock hits 4:20 twice a day!! lol)....... and that goes back to what mariner67 was describing in Cali, with those high-school kids. Though, I HAVE heard at least one valid alternative as to how the whole 420 thing came about......

    But, I digress, it's 4:15pm, gotta run!!! lol
    I'll come up with something.
