National Weed Day – the meaning of 4 20

Unofficial National Weed Day is April 20, or 4/20. The meaning of 4 20: Four Twenty has come to be synonymous with pot smoking marijuana culture.

Pot smokers celebrate the symbolic number. The term Four Twenty is a means to communicate with and identify fellow pot smokers. The twentieth day of the fourth month, April 20, has come to be a Stoner Holiday, a day for the celebration of the culture and identity surrounding marijuana. http://www.examiner.com/x-4383-Portland-Progressive-Examiner~y2010m4d19-National… added by: unimatrix0
