Are you or your town celebrating 4/20?

Asked by zenvelo (39430points) April 20th, 2017

I don’t partake anymore, but it is almost a full on holiday here in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are thousands out “baking” in Golden Gate Park.

Anything going on where you are?

I know it or the 19th is Patriot’s Day in Boston but what is 4/20 elsewhere?

Nah. But when my son moved out 15 years ago he took all the batteries out of my battery clocks and set them to 4:20.

@janbb It’s T time!

@janbb 420 is slang for marijuana, dope, weed, ganja, pot. There is the annual marijuana smoke out in Golden Gate Park.

The term started back in the early 1970s at San Rafael High School for a group of kids that would meet to smoke a joint at the tennis courts at 4:20 in the afternoon.

Nothing special today. I did make some soap with hemp oil.

Thanks for that bit of trivia @zenvelo. I had never heard of it until the late 1990’s, from my son.

I haven’t smoked in months. But I live in Eugene so someone is probably torching a Taco Bell and tossing a CRT TV at a cop. I love it here.

I have to imagine there are festivities tonight since it’s our first 420 since legalization (MA), but they have to be relatively covert as things are still pretty locked down. I don’t think I’m celebrating tonight, personally – I’ve got other stuff to do.

I rolled one of my cigarettes in an unrefined hemp paper today.

I’m enjoying some lagunas waldos ipa. I have not touched weed in over 20 years. Every job I have had drug tests, when I retire I’ll likely blaze again

It’s also Hitler’s birthday. LOL.

Smelled some pretty skunky smells at the gig I was at tonight.
