so what is 4-20?

[iLnAnA]

Other than the national smoke out day (pothead holiday) what does 4-20 stand for?

[BahoohaH]

It is actually hitlers birthday. People were so angry about the rise of hitler that on his birthday they will smoke weed until they didnt even know who hitler was.

the legend goes that a group of stoners would go out to the Louis Pasteur statue and smoke at 4:20pm eventually the story spared and now its a national holiday

4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is used in North America as a discreet way to refer to the consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with the drug subculture around cannabis.The 420 Campaign urges individuals to become involved in the political process and the drug policy reform movement. Specifically, the Campaign calls for leveraging "April 20th as a focal point every year to concentrate pressure on Congress to legalize marijuana." University chapters of NORML, SAFER, and SSDP have started to use 4/20 as a day to educate their campuses and advocate for marijuana policy reform.Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term, one central root of the phrase stems from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971; the teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue. The group was known as "The Waldos" because they would sit on a wall
