Does anyone know what that means? 4:20 is time to smoke weed and get fucked up! 4/20 or April 20 is a holiday in Colorado. It started in Boulder on the Hill by the CU campus. People started showing up on 4/20 at 4:20 in the afternoon and lighting that shit up.
It got so big the cops couldn't arrest everyone so now they show up just to control the mayham. Think about it. When people smoke they get mellow and lazy and there is no mayham! Easy day for the popo. Everyone wins. Even the popo gets fucked up on second hand smoke!
By now there are thousands showing up every year and it is a Boulder tradition.
Recently ammendment 64 passed and is leading the way to legalized recreational use of MJ. This year 4:20 is expexted to be bigger than ever. The News just said there are people comming from all over the country just to light that shit up...
Are any tuscl members comming?

I wonder if they could detect second hand smoke in my system? If Colorada police were subject to the same drug test, I wonder if they could get fired?
That said cops working this event probably get a free pass on drug resting or they detox. I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling what they confinscate from the few they arrest there.
420 should be a day to enjoy some groovy reefer with those you love. Or to love those you are with after you smoke some reefer. Who the fuck knows. I'm all stoned and shit.
Imagine what the world we be like if we took one day...just one day...and we all smoked ourselves silly. We would commit to taking the day off, decide to walk everywhere, and consider everyone our brother or sister. Seriously dudes, weed'll do that shit for you. Hot hippy chicks will be flashing the furry pussys on the street. The heavens themselves will broadcast Uncle Jerry leading the heavenly choir in the coolest version of Dark Star ever performed. It would be friggin' utopia my brothers.
So to summarize. Think positive thoughts. Feel good about life. Don't worry 'bout the liberal or conservative bullshit for one fuucking day. Forget Hitler. Smoke it up tomorrow!

The term 420 is used widely in Cannabis culture as a time to get high, a national day to get high, and cannabis itself.
There are a lot of different theories about how the word was first invented:
:: San Rafael theroy ::
In the early 1970's, a group of teenagers who attended San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California used to get high every day at 4:20 in the afternoon under the Louis Pasteur statue.
:: Bob Dylan theroy ::
In Bob Dylan's song, 'Rainy Day Women #12 && 35,' the lyrics contain 'everybody must get stoned.' 420 comes from the title, as 12 * 35 = 420.
:: Highway 420 ::
In Ontario, Canada in the 60's, marijuana grew freely on one of the Highways. This highway was later renamed in 1972 as Highway 420.
:: The Date 4/20 ::
April 20th is coincidentally (or not..) the birthday of Adolf Hitler who was born on April 20, 1889. It is also interesting to note that the Columbine High School shootings also occured on this date in 1999.
There are many other theories that have been debunked such as the Bob Marley theroy and the Police Code theroy.
You]: "Yo, dude.. it's April 20th - let's go smoke over there!"
Me]: "You also realize that today is Hitler's birthday? Let's go throw some rocks at passing Volkswagen's while smoking mary jane! After all.. hitler invented the VW Beetle"
You]: "GOOD IDEA! This is gonna be the best 420 ever!!"
