4/20

420 (cannabis culture) :
4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a term used in North America as a discreet way to refer to cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis culture. Phrases such as "420 friendly" sometimes appear in roommate advertisements, indicating that the current occupants are tolerant of cannabis users.
Origins and observances :
It is widely accepted that in 1971, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, calling themselves "The Waldos", used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis," and it eventually caught on more widely. Many cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.


Yesterday was 4/20 (April 20th) :
-I got text messages at 4:20 a.m. in the morning that said “happy 420!”
-There were drug dogs in school that searched through the lockers and cars for drugs.
-Many students were high during school!
-After school many kids smoked at 4:20 p.m.
-Our school principal called us at home and told the parents about the meaning of 420.
-In the evening and during the night were 420 parties everywhere!

I went clubbing down town instead :-D
