djscotphreak Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 Most peeps think it is police code for marijuana. It really goes way beyond that. Back to the 60's and San Rafael California. High Times writes about how people have come to believe it really is the police code for marijuana when it really isnt.But...whatever its origin...we all know what it means to this day!

fkornre Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 since it seems no one read the article i posted here is a piece from it: But according to Steven Hager, editor of High Times -- a publication devoted to marijuana-smoking -- the term 420 originated at San Rafael (Calif.) High School in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking teenagers now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet to smoke pot. Intent on developing a language unintelligible to adults, they made 420 code for a time to get high. Over the years, it has evolved so that 420, or 4/20, is a day -- the day -- to get high.
