Originated in Toronto highschools back in the late 70s as being the "safe" time to spark up.
School gets out at 3:30pm, takes about 45 minutes for general student population and teachers to leave the premises; this gives you time to hang out for a bit and to roll a few fatties.
Fuck man!...it's 4:20...spark'er up. Whattaya waitin' for?

Code for smoking pot, derived from the time stamp "4:20 pm", intended to delude authorities...
Mind the cultural egocentrism based on the limited use in the so-called 'land of the free', the USA.
Truely free countries like the Netherlands don't need codes like 4:20, since it's allowed to buy and smoke everywhere, anytime.

first off 4:20 is not a police code for smokin marijuana, and the columbine massacre did not happen cause the kids were neo-nazi and wanted to do it for hitler, they were Marilin Manson fans and did what his songs told him to do, but the main festivity of 4:20 is of course national weed day!! some people think this started in california but it mostly was started in areas in south detroit, and has ever since been the best day of the year!
