Why does 4.20 represent marijuana or have to do with it?

Q:

A: 420’s origin IS known.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.So there ya go, someone’s parents out there invented the term 4/20.And remember this:There are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed. It’s about 315, the num. goes up or down depending on what you’re smoking.4/20 is NOT police code or Maryjane.And that whole shit about Holland and 4/20 over there being “tea time” for smokers isn’t true either.

Whats the origin of the date 4/20 and how does it pertain to smoking marijuana?

Q:

A: 420 “represents” 700,000 otherwise decent and law abiding Americans, the vast majority of them adults, rotting away in jails and prisons. 420 represents a health care system driven by profit, and strong-armed by the insurance industry, that routinely pushes dangerous, addictive, cost prohibitive narcotics and chemical drugs when in some, perhaps many cases, a benign, therapeutic herb, marijuana, would suffice. The result is patients facing catastrophic illness and suffering, many of them terminal, being prosecuted for something that has never killed a single person from toxic overdose (unlike virtually EVERY single pharma-drug, despite the fact that cannabis actually relieves their suffering.420 represents a nation addicted to oil, polluting the air, water and soil, being fleeced daily by the Arab oil barons, when industrial hemp can offer some serious relief the form of biomass, as well as thousands of age old uses (it grows like a weed). Even though hemp has zero intoxicating properties, it remains illegal to produce in America.420 represents the drug testing industry that routinely invades the bodies of millions of Americans, ready to take away their jobs, destroy their reputation, impact their families based upon a joint they may have smoked up to two months ago (marijuana system the system longer than any other illicit substance).420 represents a nation that promotes and glorifies violence, pushes drugs as if they were candy, and profits in the billions off of the sales of alcohol and tobacco, but treats people who relax with pot as if they were dangerous criminals and had actually committed a crime somehow by feeling mildly relaxed.There is so much to our gentle, peaceful culture of adults that nobody in the mainstream media are even interested in finding out, lest the whole world discover we are no threat to anyone, anywhere, anytime except for a fraction of losers, deadbeats and criminals who get all of the media attention. Why? Because the millions of the rest of us are quietly living our lives, working, raising families, and smoking a joint or a bong, or a pipe at home after work, instead of pouring a martini. Nobody knows because there is no problem except for the laws. That’s the problem. There is no story, no scandal, and no tragedy within the pot culture.Where are the casualties of pot? They are in prisons or jails. Don’t want young people to smoke pot? Regulate it, tax it, and control it. Make it an adult thing, like alcohol, tobacco, etcetera, and take it off the streets, out of the alleys, and into the hands of the state.No other strategy will ever work. How do I know all off this? I am the executive director of the largest cannabis gathering in the history of the world and over 100,000 peaceful, responsible members of my culture comes to see us every year. In addition, I am a chronic pain patient, parent of three grown children and grandfather of one.420 represents freedom from tyranny and unjust prosecution of millions of decent people who wish simply to be allowed to live peacefully and get on with daily their lives. One day Americans will look back on pot prohibition wit dismay, disgust and shame. What about the children? Children should be allowed to grow up and become adults who live in a free nation that rewards accomplishment. While they are children they should be educated about the impact of all substances, addiction and how to make the best decisions for them, for there will be no government in the room with them when they must make their first decisions for themselves. We are light years away from the day Americans are told the truth about marijuana. The truth is that marijuana is very mild intoxicant and therapeutic herb that must be used and respected like any other medicine or intoxicant, and it should be reserved for responsible adult use. That is not hysteria, propaganda or an agenda. That is the truth. To judge something by the small percentage of screw-ups is neither accurate nor effective, but it sure supports the status-quo!Happy Four twenty.Vivian McPeak, NORML of Washington State, Seattle Hempfest
