National Pot Smoking Day

Happy 420. Today, 20 April is National Pot Smoking Day and much people say Happy 420. but what is 420? Why people said Happy 420 on "National Pot Smoking Day? Some people said today is a day where people all over the world celebrate by smoking weed.

According to the editor of High Times, Steven Hager, the term "420" originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking students who called themselves the Waldos. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 a code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation through various vehicles like the music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. Other versions say 420 originated from a police dispatch code that identified pot smokers or that 420 was the number of chemical compounds that are found in pot.

Disclaimer: We'll I definitely don't encourage smoking of pot. posted this one just for historical info. And besides you don't need a 420 just to be happy.. there are other means, I'm sure of that. xoxo.
