Why is 4:20 the time to get high? Where did it come from? When I started teaching, I remember being reprimanded by our principal because I didn't make some kid scratch 4:20 off his notebook. Duh - I didn't know what it meant. I'm fairly naive when it comes to drugs as I'm probably the only person to have grown up in the 60's and 70's who never got high. It's not a religious or an "I'm better than you" statement, I was just not interested. Thanks for answering my questions.
Peace
Although there are many explanations for the origin of the term, one stems from a story about a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. The group was known as "The Waldos" because they would sit against a wall and became popularized in the late 1980s by fans of the Grateful Dead. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. In some locations this celebration coincides with Earth Week.

Be @ "Eggspectations" resturant (Near the Venue) exactly at 4:20pm this afternoon.
Go inside and look for a waiter with an eye patch and an obnoxious mustache (trust me...you'll know what I mean when you see him)
He goes by the code name: "Carl Weathers".
Politely go up to Carl Weathers and ask to "see his manager" be sure to wink at him with your left eye.
Carl will then lead you to the back room where you'll then be introduced to a man who his small in stature (A Midget) who also happens to wear an eye patch (don't ask)
He goes by the code name of "Action Jackson"
Give "Action Jackson" your money and he will give you the "stuff"

Both Action Jackson and Carl Weathers will be in attendence tonight.
You will spot them easily:
1) Both wear Eye patches (don't ask)
2) Action Jackson is a Midget
3) Carl Weathers has an obnoxious mustache
Whatever you do...do not shout out their names at this show
I repeat...
Do not under any circumstance yell,shout, or sing out:
"Carl Weathers" or "Action Jackson" at this show...
You will blow their cover.
