sweetmoose 0 #27 January 27, 2007 I can't believe you just found out what 420 means, how old are you anyways? I haven't smoked in awhile, did a lot around freshman/sophmore year of highschool and then again in freshman year of college, and once or twice a year since then, but geesh, I grew up in a small town of 6,000 people and I knew what 420 meant before I ever smoked.We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was around them for about a year before I finally figured it out. I've never tried it myself. I don't want anything to do with something that is illegal. It doesn't matter to me if alcohol is worse. I won't get arrested for having a beer.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

Not actually sure where the expression actually came from, I had always heard that school gets out around 3pm, I think my highschool got out around 3:30, so that gave you enough time to get outta school and get somewhere to smoke, and by 4:20, you should be lighting up.We die only once, but for such a very long time.

upndownshop 0 #38 January 27, 2007 Quote One time I was hanging out with some friends and one looked at the other and asked what time it was. "4:20". When I said something like, "No way, it's not even 3:00 yet!", they explained it to me. clicky Walt Skydive dallas in 2001. believe it or not, my mother's USPA number is 420!I will ask her in a crowd what her number is and she says 420 and everyone laughs. She ask's me every time "Why does everyone laugh when they hear that?" I cant say for sure if she has a clue what it means. But she is a MOM and they know it all right? If she doesnt, she plays it well. J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On what 4:20 means, isn't it the code that cops use?

marcandalysse 0 #49 January 28, 2007 I first heard the term from Johnny Gates! There is a small snack shop here in town called "Munchies 4-40 cafe". It is open from 4:20pm until 4:20am. Appears that the owners were driving around town after midnight looking for something to eat and only finding denny's or waffle house, so they decided to open a place that stayed open till early hours... marc "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
