    In Ottawa, you can go to Parliament hill (Canadian White house lol) tomorrow and openly smoke weed, the cops just chill and walk around talking to people. I went in high school and the cops were just there to keep the peace. It was a bunch of poeple smoking weed so it was actually very peacefull haha

    anything that makes people talk about life and mellow out and smile and eat is obviously the devil. Just like foozball.

    More importantly -- it's my birthday. It's one of the first things people say to me when they find out my birthday is 4/20 (number 2 being "yikes, you share a birthday with Hitler"). I'm not a smoker (or haven't been since high school) so I don't find it as cool as others do. I do however, think it's cool that I share a birthday with Joey Lawrence. haha ;) Whoaaa!

    Yikes! You, Joey & I should raise a glass together tomorrow...at 04:20.

    SOMETHING I FOUND ONLINE FOR YOU-ENJOY:smokin:


    Today is 4/20 . . . How Did it Become Associated with Weed?
    Friday April 20th, 2012

    It's April 20th, also known as 4/20 . . . the day everyone associates with WEED. So how did the number "420" become connected to smoking reefer?



    It's NOT because 4-20 is a police code for a marijuana bust, like you might've heard. And it's not connected to Earth Day, which is two days later.



    The consensus is . . . it's just a slang term from a group of stoners that managed to catch on.



    Apparently, back in 1971, some kids at San Rafael High School in California used to meet outside the school to smoke weed every day at 4:20 P.M.



    So their code to meet was "4-20." They eventually started using "4-20" to describe EVERYTHING related to marijuana . . . and the term spread when they used it around traveling GRATEFUL DEAD fans, who adopted it.



    Eventually, "High Times" magazine heard about the "4-20" term through the Dead fans, and took it to an even wider audience. And since April 20th is 4/20, it became the unofficial holiday for weed smokers. (Huffington Post)

    I'm a former weed smoker, and I just heard about this last year. People were talking about 4/20 on facebook, and I was like "huh?"

    You definitely weren't a heavy pot smoker, then.
