I've always wondered why 4/20 is declared National Smoke Pot Day. I did some research and found some good stuff.I guess there are plenty of theories on the origin, some say that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Another story is that a group of guys in the 1970's made 4:20PM their official meeting time to smoke after school. Some people say waiting until 4:20PM to have your first smoke is the best time. Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become a worldwide "burn time" (Concept420.com)

4/20 is also Hitler's birthday and of course the anniversary of Columbine. I know a guy whose orthodox Jewish parents disowned him for marrying out of the faith. His wedding was on 4/20/00! It wasn't until afterwards that he learned the significance of that date! He didn't know about the pot association either! Bad karma for him all around! His parents don't even see their grandchildren. So sad....
Wow, that's really sad :(
