420
Once apon a time in the 60s, there was a group of highschool friends who called themselves The *something* (might have been mysterious) Waldos. They would always meet after school at 4:20 to smoke weed. So, whenever they were in school and they wanted to talk about it, they would use 420 as a code word for it.

I thought 420 was just the date when it's National Weed Day. Ahhhh a great day it is.. jk of course.
[quote name='AGuth'][quote name='kaji7p56']Oh, yeah? What does the term "Code 4" mean to cops, hotshots?[/quote]
If that means anything, would it be 'officer down' ?[/quote]
Nope. If the cops were searching your house for drugs and didn't find anything, one of the cops would tell the others that the house was "Code 4". It means that everything is normal.

It also got a big boost as part of the title of a Samuel Jackson movie that ran perpetually on cable and reached a lot of people who'd never listen to rap any longer than it takes to change the channel.

Code 4- No further assitance required. Police codes vary from state to state though, so YMMV.

420 is actually a reference to April 20th the day the Columbine school tragedy happened. 420 actually relates to the date of the Columbine disaster (April 20, 1999.) April 20=4/20 so people figured 4/20 (April 20th) of every year to smoke weed to remember what happened and be greatful that there were survivors. Today alot of its referencing has been lost (which is said Columbine only happened 6 years ago) and like the person said at the top of this thread(1swtdeception) "isn't it national smoke weed day?" it is, but it has a story behind it. I hope this helps.
Also another little fact (nothing to do with the true meaning of 420) but some say it is because hitler was born on April 20th, 1889 but this just went into the minds of the 2 kid sthat commited Columbine, they looked up to hitler, so they did it in his "memorial" sick, but it happened. But my first post is actually the true meaning.

I'm sorry, but WHAT? WRONG!!!!
I've heard of 420 since the early 90's. It references a time of day.
Here's my take on it: surfers in California would aloways get up at 4:20 am and smoke before they went out to catch the huge morning waves.
420 means what it wants to for different people, but the analogy is always the same: 4:20=time to smoke weed.
Quick Google search reveals this from a "parenting site"
What Does '420' Mean?
From Denise Witmer,
A recent discussion on our Parenting Advice and Support Forum, had this Guide in puzzlement. I had reported years ago that the term 420(pronounced four twenty, not four hundred and twenty), was police code for smoking marijuana in a feature on pager codes that teenagers use to "talk" to each other. I began researching the number again and it seems I was wrong. Read on to learn the myths, the truth about the origin and what this term means for parents.
Known Myths
Police dispatch code for smoking pot is 420.
The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands.
There are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. Sponsored Links

Adolescent's Self-Esteem
Step-by-step Roadmap to Skyrocket Your Child's Self-Esteem revealed
www.adolescents-low-self-esteem.com
Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used.
April 20th is National Pot Smokers Day.
Well, it is now; but that wasn't the origin.
April 20th is Hitler's birthday.
Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it.
The date of the Columbine school shootings.
This happened after the term was already in use.
4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland.
Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea.
The Origin Revealed
According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, 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. While our teens feel that they know something we don't, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers.
A quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420." Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option.

Why do the police have a code for a smoking pot?
Do people leave pots on their stove that much?
Man people need to stop causing fires. I always check my stove tops before leaving the house.
