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.\nSo there ya go, someone's parents out there invented the term 4/20.\nAnd remember this:\nThere are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed. It's about 315, the num. goes up or down depending on what you're smoking.\n4/20 is NOT police code or Maryjane.\nAnd that whole shit about Holland and 4/20 over there being "tea time" for smokers isn't true either.

yes fr the past32 years.sometimes heavy like when in college,then kinda regular fr a few years in professional college, then sort of taking it easy kind of smoking. in the past 20 years almost a joint or two everyday when i have it. if i dont- no climbing up the wall either. now its like small tipper joints , maybe twice in the day. some of all this smoking was hash too. never did really like that...\ni am a successful designer-industrialist with two real cool healthy children and am on my third and last! marriage. i can even make complex technical drawings when nicely stoned. i dont smoke too much nor too often. cant stand those so called freaks who blow joint after joint. cos after a certain point you cant get any higher, only sicker!!like they say in india-ganja is either for beggars or kings. definitely not for everyone. i know quite some guys who really flipped out on dope permanently. then again i know many socially well placed , married with children, sucessful , busy designers,doctors,architects,artists,musicians,craftsmen,lawyers, IT guys, etc etc just like me. none of them do hard stuff.

I think it's more a matter of self control. I used to smoke pot and I smoked it a few times a day. I quit a couple months ago and I haven't touched it since. Some people just have no self control when it comes to things like that. It's kind of like people that cheat. All people that cheat either have no self control or no respect for themselves. Even when I smoked pot, I didn't HAVE to have it. If I couldn't afford it, I just wouldnt buy it. Still, there are some people that think that HAVE to have it but don't have the self control to go without

It can mess with your head(well duh) but I mean more than just at the moment.  It can cause or make depression worse, it doesn't cause mental disorders but can make them worse.  It kills motivation, causes cancer, causes impotence.  Its emotionally addicting, which can be just as bad as a physical addiction.  What you really have to think about is why do it in the first place, there aren't many reasons to smoke pot other than at the moment it feels good, but there are a lot of reasons not to.  I have smoked pot for years, and honestly I wish I had never started.  I wonder where my life would be if I hadn't.

No it is not, despite what you may hear and read.  I am a pot smoker, and I have been in a situation where I could not smoke any for two months and I had no problems, other than some messed up dreams. If you let it consume your life, you can get into the rut, but I am an active, working pot smoker. For me, it's like coming home from work and having a glass of wine. I don't think it's something you should do everyday, especially if your a student, it can effect your ability to retain information. I do not believe that it's a "gateway" drug either as I have never done any other drug.

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.

I could care more actually.\n\nIt's not the official pot smoking day\nIt is actually non-smoking day but someone decided it would be a good idea to make it a day to smoke weed. So now it is an unofficial holiday all over the world.\n\nNo offense to you, i usually keep to myself about it.

You should smoke weed to get a buzz/rush. If you indulge on a daily basis, the effect diminishes, so what´s the point?\nAlso, don´t mix smoking with work, (except when you are an artist)because one tends to make silly decisions, or you have to do it again. Too much of ANYTHING is not good, moderation is the answer, otherwise you give my favourite pastime a bad name. Good dope is the best aphrodisiac in the world, forget about rhino horn, viagra, etc Another thing, Mary Jane tends to make a depressed person even more depressed, so avoid it then. \nLastly, did you know that the first marijuana plant spontaneously sprouted on King Solomon´s grave/tomb? Used in moderation, it makes you wise, in excess, it makes you stupid.\nWhy, oh, why does it have such a bad name?\nI have a buddy who smokes first thing in the morning every day, he has been, is, and will always be a loser. An eternally happy loser.\nP.S.Don´t mix weed with alcohol and don´t go from weed to hard drugs. Who needs coke or horse when you can have good Durban Poison or Malawi Gold?

Studies have shown that one "average" sized joint packs the same amount of toxins as an entire pack of cigarettes.  You can actually get lung disease faster (much faster) by smoking weed than by smoking cigarettes.\n\nWeed does actually cause lung cancer, asthma and emphysema as well as COPD.\n\nFor a rush, just stop smoking for a few days then do it again.  Whew!\n\nDo people honestly think pot is grown without the use of chemicals and pesticides???  DUH!  Unless you're paying absolute TOP DOLLAR, you're getting chemicals.  And if you are paying top dollar, all that resin is going in your lungs...or stomach.

It's definitally not Greek.  It is also not the "police code" for pot smoking either.  There are numerous possible origins for the term "420" but because it is said Four Twenty and not four-hundred and twenty it is meant to describe both the time and the date.  It has become understood to mean pot-smoking time for stoners and April 20th has become a pot smoking holiday!
