I wanted to @ some on here, but I would problem needed more pages to do that, so in case you didn't know this, you do now! By the way, I think it was @TerryP that told me. Yes, I may be the only one that has never put one of those smoke on my lips. Now I can't say I have never smelled it, remember I was in the Army!

This Day In History 1971 - 420 was invented
Five friends at San Rafael High School in California coined the term "4:20" as a euphemism for smoking weed. April 20th became a popular day to spark one up, as does 4:20pm. Fans of the Grateful Dead helped spread the phrase, the Boston song 'Smokin'' clocks in at 4 minutes, 20 seconds, and if you multiply the title numbers in Bob Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women #12 And #35,' you get 420.
David Reddix, 66, Steve Capper, 66, Larry Schwartz, Jeff Noel, 66, and Mark Gravich, 64, were friends at San Rafael High School in suburban San Francisco in the '70s
In the fall of 1971, another classmate gave them a map to a marijuana garden that his brother-in-law had planted and abandoned
The five teens made a plan to meet at 4:20 p.m. after school to search for it, and went back several times to try to find it
Though they never did, they began using '420' as a code word to indicate marijuana use
The teens soon started hanging out at Grateful Dead rehearsals, where they spread the term among the band and crew members
After someone started printing it on flyers passed out at Grateful Dead shows, it was picked up by High Times magazine, which began publishing it
The term is now used in festivals and merchandise, and April — written 4/20 by Americans — has become an internationally recognized weed holiday.
