Happy 4/20! The True Story Behind Stoners' Favorite Number | DrugReporter | AlterNet

HAPPY 4/20!
The origin of the term 420, celebrated around the world by pot smokers every April 20th, has long been obscured by the clouded memories of the folks who made it a phenomenon. Well, it's not because it's Joe Drews' birthday! Depending on who you ask, or their state of inebriation, there are as many varieties of answers as strains of medical bud in California. It's the number of active chemicals in marijuana. It's teatime in Holland. It has something to do with Hitler's birthday. It's those numbers in that Bob Dylan song multiplied.
