I like Christmas. Not because of the Santa thing, that's all commericalism to get us to spend money on worthless BS. And not because of the Jesus birth thing either, because I don't buy into that mythology. But oh, man, a lot of people do! Which means that I get the most time off for this holiday. Very, very important.

F*uck man - so long as you use responsibly, its no problem.  Smoke on Friday and Saturday nights, then leave it alone - you'll be fine

No we dont. Infact we dont have a public holiday to celebrate the 'UK'....eg a national celebration day. There was recent discussion in paliment about this, but I have not heard anything more about it.\n Not like some sort of 'independence day' like the states have .

When they say "420", they are referring to marijuana and the use of it.

Bob Marley died May 11th 1981 & the police code 420 doesn't exsist.  \nAccording to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. 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 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers. \n\nA quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option

I like Thanksgiving.  I have lots of family over and I love to cook.  However, I must say Christmas is my favorite.  I love the season.  I love the carols, both religious and secular, the movies, from A Charlie Brown Christmas to Its a Wonderful Life, the window shopping (I never actually buy much; its the Lord's birthday, not anyone else's!) and the intimate time I have with just my own small family on the actual day.  \nHappy Holidays to you!

i think it's great, never ever hear of any1 getting stoned and going out and killing some1.  sure it probablly has some minor health disadvatages, but theses days what doesn't. anyway good luck and smoke on.  420 rules

I'm kind of mixed on this one. The people that I have seen that smoke pot are really stupid, even when they aren't stoned.  I would hate to see a lot more kids turn out like that because it is easier to get.  On the other hand, adults who choose to get drunk or stoned are going to do it anyway, so it probably should be taxed.  Can't really make a call on this issue.

420(pronounced four twenty, not four hundred and twenty), was police code for smoking marijuana in a feature on pager codes that teenagers use to "talk" to each other. I began researching the number again and it seems I was wrong. Read on to learn the myths, the truth about the origin and what this term means for parents.\nKnown Myths\n\n\nPolice dispatch code for smoking pot is 420. The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands. \nThere are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used. \nApril 20th is National Pot Smokers Day. Well, it is now; but that wasn't the origin. \nApril 20th is Hitler's birthday. Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it. \nApril 20th is the date of the Columbine school shootings. This happened after the term was already in use. \n4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland. Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea. \nThe Origin Revealed \nAccording to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. 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 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers. \n\nA quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option. \n\nWhatever! \n\nSimply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time". It certainly doesn't matter too much where the term came from because for us parents, it's a flag, a warning sign that our teenagers may be into something that could harm their future. When you see the symbol 420, be aware of what it represents.

No.  It is a faux holiday designed to sell jewelry and greeting cards.  If we treat each other right every day we don't need a special day set aside to remind us to appreciate each other.

That's because now that it's a federal holiday, it has turned into a secular celebration. Christians have stolen practically all of their holiday traditions from pagan ritual.\n\nDo you honestly think Jesus was born on December 25th?\n\nChristmas isn't an exclusively Christian holiday, little miss possessive. Do you want us to stop eating, drinking, having parties, and being merry simply because you don't like the idea of us non-believers celebrating a pagan holiday?\n\nFor a Christian, you sure are spiteful. Tsk tsk.

420 is (apparently) police lingo for marijuana busts, so lots of places have marijuana/hemp festivals on 4/20 each year.
