Is April 20 Pot Day or not?
447651
April 20th is all about the Senate Bill (S.B.) in California #187, regarding the use and posession of marijuana for medical (and other) purposes. \n\nThe bill got held up in the senate for quite some time and was finally rejected and then the bill was renamed S.B. 420\n\nIn protest, many people smoke.\n\n--- There are other reasons for 4/20.. I guess enough people heard about it and just decided to have an unofficial holiday\n\nBut i thank them.

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.

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring. \n\nThe closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1. \n\nHowever, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes. \n\nThis harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families. \n\nIn Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance. \n\nMexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery. \n\nPranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!" \n\nPractical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. \n\nApril Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

As there are 365 days in a year (365 and 1/4 to be exact) the time does not allow for the year to allow a true division of a seven day week as a whole number as there are 52 weeks (364 days) and 1 1/4 days in a year. Each year, therefore the day and date of a corresponding date in the current year would advance by one. Thus April 17th 2006 is Monday but in 2007 will be a Tuesday. As the spare 1/4 days add up we put an extra day every four years in February, numbering it 29 so that the calender's equilibrium is preserved. Such years are known as 'Leap Years' because we 'leap' a day. Days and dates would follow the ordinary pattern except that days after 28th February in a Leap Year would advance by two so if this year was a Leap Year (which it isn't) then April 17th next year would be a Wednesday.

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!
