“420 is bob marley’s birthday so since he is like a rastafarian legend so in his honor most stoners will get together and smoke a hookah together or just sit in a “hippie” circle and get high together, but even though thats the reason most people rarely go “yea these next 30 joints are in honor of bob marley!” so I would say that it is just a lame reason but most people who actually smoke would just say its a tradition.”
No, xxporkxsodaxx. Febuary 6th is Bob Marley’s fucking birthday. Retard. Anyhow,
4:20 is an important set of numbers to the true cannabis users as a symbol of culture. It has three meanings behind it, and – not to criticize (It leaves room for learning) but the true members of the ‘sub society’ dubbed ‘stoners’ would recognize the meanings. Time for a lesson in the school of “420”. The three meanings are ..
1) “420” – or “420 friendly” are spoken terms to identify yourself as a member of this culture, and a cannabis consumer – or someone who is “420 friendly” would be a tolerate person or set of persons who would not mind the use of pot around them.
2) Started by a group of friends who called themselves the ‘Waldos’ (Which their members are now up to 50) started the term “420” not as a date, but a time in which they’d meet by a statue on their campus grounds and partake in the act of smoking marijuana. The herb was used as a sign of peace amongst friends, a sign of unity.
3) From that phrase, we use it now as a date and time. April 20th rolls around – we pay homage to this group and their idea. We get together as friends – neighbors and we recognize that we all can be fucking friends. We light the sweet herb as a symbol of peace, unity, socialization. Relaxation amongst friends, with something we like doing.
