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.
Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time".

It's many things. 4:20 is generally regarded as Tea Time in England... Among the pot smokers 4:20 IS TIME TO GET HIGH. It's a date. 4/20. April 20. The day they found Layne Staley's poor dead body was 4/20. April 20 is the 110th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (111th in leap years). In 99 it was the day of the Columbine killings... Feel better now?
