4:20 is slang for...well "time to get high". I've heard it comes from a police code...I've also heard it used to be the time kids would meet after school to smoke pot. How old is your son? Sometimes kids just hear something and want to be "cool" so they say it but they dont really know what it means. If he does, though, you might want to have a talk with him.

Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one's "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place - sometimes site of a war - which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.

Many years ago the man that invented LSD took the first dose of it on April 20 at 4:20pm and since that day 4:20 is a signal that its time to get high. I would say its a high probablity hes is smoking weed.

4:20 is the time to smoke some pot; also 4/20 is the date to smoke pot. It's code to say "Let's go smoke pot." Not sure how it started -- maybe 4:20 was the usual time to get high for the people who started this phrase.

I was curious too. I've never heard of it, so I googled 4:20. Take a look at the site listed below. If he's a teenager, it may have something to do with marijuana.

there are 2 meanings of 4:20, most people got it right about getting high and such but yet another disturbing thing about 4:20 is it's reference to hitler's birthday and is believed to be responsible for the columbine shootings.
