Why does the number 420 have any significance to marijuana?  What does it mean?

'420' began circulating in 1971 as a bit of slang casually used by a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in California.  It was reminder of the time they planned to meet to light up, 4:20 p.m just after school.

When Scotty would tell Kirk repairs would take 12 hours he really meant 10 minutes.\nA 420 isn't always about Marijuana.\nThe best poptarts are made with love on a computer console while listening to a band called Hematavore.\nCartman's Mom told him the penis is called the "fireman".\nTV's boring if the News ain't violent.

Peyote is marijuana in some Indian language.  Is that what you are asking about?

it either means nothing or you were high. the universe is very open-ended with endless possibilities. from this strange things are bound to happen or you could have just been high.

A square is a normal cigarette, a smoke is generally  marijuana.  Gangsters think the users of drugs are idiots and don't often use any of the addicting drugs.  Marijuana is not an addicting drug.  Yes, one does get a buzz from tobacco, its very short tho.

Yup. The active ingredient, I think the abbreviation is THC, sticks around in the body for years. It also can damage sperm cells (knocks their tails off).\n\nAs the saying goes, "Pot smokers can't remember the brains they've lost."

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

The question of the marijuana laws has been addressed by numerous major government commissions over the years. In order to understand why it is illegal, I recommend you read the short history of the marijuana laws at http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/History/whiteb1.htm \n\nSee also "Why marijuana was outlawed" at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/mj_outlawed.htm\n\nIn short, it was outlawed for two major reasons. In the southwestern states it was outlawed because of racial prejudice against Mexican immigrants. In the northeastern states it was outlawed because of the fear that heroin addiction would lead to the use of marijuana -- exactly the opposite of the modern "gateway" myth.\n\nEvery major government commission report on the laws in the last 100 years has concluded that the marijuana laws were the result of ignorance and nonsense. They all found that there was no justification for making marijuana illegal and that the prohibition laws do more harm than good. You can find summaries of their conclusions, with links to the full text of the studies, at http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/studies/studies.htm

I believe that Jesus was the original founder of 420. When he spoke with his deciphers he encouraged them to toke on the green before they prayed. This way they would have a better understanding on what they were told to do. Before you can ask if Jesus smoked weed, you need to ask how he created it. Or was weed part of the earth before Jesus? It is like asking what came first the chicken or the egg or Jesus or weed?

First of all, "weed" has been misclassified as a narcotic.  Look this up if you don't believe me, but a "narcotic" substance is a substance that brings about a state of "narcosis".  Narcosis means DEATH.  How many people do you know that have OD'd on weed?  Oh!!! Wait a second!!!!  There aren't any..NONE!!  \nThe THC in marijuana does have an effect on the way the synapses in your brain interact with one another...That's what makes you feel "high". It takes about 3 days of not smoking it to purge your brain of the THC.  It causes NO PERMANENT DAMAGE as most people would have you believe...You can research EVERYTHING HERE FOR YOURSELF.  DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR ANY OF IT!!! Look this up, too....Those synapses I just mentioned have tiny receptors on them that are there for one thing and one thing only...To receive THC..that's right, your brain is a natural, biological receptor for THC....\nI can even go so far as to say that we're SUPPOSED to smoke pot and this is re-enforced by the Holy BIBLE....Genesis 1:12...."And the earth brought forth grass and the herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit whos seed was in itself, after his kind: AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD.".....So that in effect WE have placed OUR OWN judgement above that of GOD....and made pot illegal.\nNow I don't know about  you, but something just doesn't sit quite right with that, ya know what i mean?\nAs far as stoping you from moving ahead goes...Hell no it won't...You might, but pot won't...It'll just be there waiting when you're ready to unwind after a hard day of doing whatever it is that you choose to do with your life.\nAnd as far as being a "gateway drug"....Total bs.  The primary gateway drugs in America are legal and can be purchased at any 7-11.  \nThe main reason the Gov. wants to keep it illegal is because it alters the way a person thinks....and when that happens, they come up with new ideas and sometimes see things for what they really are.....\nIN THE COMPANY OF POT HEADS:\nEdgar Allen Poe, William Shakespear, Thomas Eddison, Nikola Tesla, Woody Harrelson, Benjaman Franklin, GEORGE WASHINGTON (he grew hemp for rope, sails and cloth AND smoked it to ease the pain of head aches), Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton (but didn't inhale...yeah right), GW bush ......\nCripes, it sure as hell didn't hold ANY of these guys back, now did it?!?!?!\nSo my answer to you is an emphatic "HELL NO IT WON'T HOLD YOU BACK!"

Mostly fear. And ignorance. \n\nThe medical community and people who decide what is legal and illegal still consider marijuana to be a gateway drug. They think it is  bad for you. \n\nWhile I agree with you about it should be legal, it isn't. \n\nYou can it taken off the list of illegal drugs and work to make it legal, but until it is legal, don't break the law and risk going to jail. Instead, work to get it made legal. \n\nIt is legal for medical use in Oregon and California and all over the west coast. \n\nWork to get it legalized.

420 is the legal code for a marijuana violation.\nPeople that use 420 in their handle are letting you know they do illicit drugs for recreation - specifically: they smoke pot and get high.

I think it comes from the 60's at a university in San Francisco. They would meet around the back of a building after class, which ended at 4:20 to smoke pot. It became so popular that april 20 or 4/20 is now national marijuana day.

It is to catch pollen, so that the female plant can become pollinated. The polyps are called glandular trichomes. They contain the resin which has the highest concentration of THC , the psychoactive drug material of the cannabis plant.\nOnly the female plants are covered with resin.\nThe males are taller, tougher and make little white flowers instead of buds. The flowers open and release pollen. When the pollen lands on a female bud, that bud will produce a seed. \nMarijuana has been cultivated by humans for a long time. A high resin content makes the plant more desirable for cultivation by humans, therefore every cannabis breeder is selecting for a high resin content.\nThe resin also protects the flowers of the female plant from drying out.

Alright. I'm really tired of explaining this to people but you seemed genuinely puzzled so I'll tell you. "He who stands on toilet is high on pot" means that anyone who puts his feet on a toilet and raises his body to a standing position is under the influence of marijuana.\n\nThere!!! See how simple that was???\n\nNo. Don't bother thanking me. I - I just happen to know these things you see, and I'm really thrilled explaining them to people who seem a little, um, dazed... Yeah, that's the word. Don't think at all I meant ignorant because I really am not into belittling those less intelligent than me... Er, not that you aren't *as* intelligent, it's just... You know...
