Title: What makes 4/20 significant?
Post by: precrime3 on April 04, 2014, 07:05:47 PM
Excuse if I come across as arrogant/ignorant/naďve but what is the significance of this number? I realize its "national weed day" ( or so I hear) but what is the actually history behind this?

Adolf Hitlers birthday?

Adolf Hitlers birthday?

Why would people smoke to that? I don't smoke, but I would definitely not smoke to that.

Apparently that's the time a group of kids from a HS use to meet and it kind of just exploded into a thing.  I call BS on the hitler thing, his b-day or not.

Ahh what a bummer. I would be very interested in the symbolism and history behind it, I'd imagine that would be a very interesting research project xD

it has to do with teh symbolism of weed (that we're all the same)

the sadness comes when you realize that people have problems and that's why you arrested them

What symbolism of weed? WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN. That is what I'm after at. Like do they mean anything, or they just two random numbers?

420 was the penal code section for marijuana use in California.

Heard this is a myth.

Some high school students would meet by a wall at 4:20 and smoke.  Thus 420 become synonymous with cannabis.

Here's an article on the matter.

I'm not sure where it comes from.

I bet the people who "invented" it, has forgotten the reason behind it now due to all their cannabis smoking ^^.

I live in The Netherlands and I can tell we don't really have much trouble with it in my town. (Except the fact that there's an underground criminal group providing the cannabis for the coffeeshops, but they don't cause trouble). The only people causing trouble are the illegal dealers, but you've got them everywhere.

I saw a documentary about cannabis in Jamaica. Só many people smoke weed there.. that does cause trouble as everyone is laying and relaxing all over the country I guess :P.

You are dense, and not worth the time to even post this.  It's been proven a thousand times over that inhaling toxins into the lungs produces cancer.    ::)

Therefore cannabis causes cancer.  Not rocket science, but probably over your head.

No it doesn't, hate it when people spread this kind of crap, I'm a big lover of cannabis and it can help cancer patients and as been proven to slow cancer growth down but it aint no cure. Stop repeating shit what some crazy dude on the internet said and think for yourself and do the research and you see how insulting it is when people like you say it cures cancer.

Can we just end this discussion about good sides of cannabis, side effects, cancer curing miracles and other things? If you like cannabis ok, they are less harmless that hard drugs that is for sure.

Of course not!  You can eat it in brownies, which removes the risk of developing lung cancer.   ;)

I am that crazy dude on the internet that found that conclusion myself.  I researched cannabis for weeks before ever touching it.  I researched it for months thereafter.  Does it cure 100% of the time?  No, but concentrated oil definitely is able to cure various forms of cancers.

BTW: You can also consume CBD oil which is the most medicinal compound in the plant.  It's non psychoactive and can be harvested from hemp and is therefor legal.

Can buy it on ebay, it is great medicine.

i guess it really can cure because one of friends of stacy peralta of lord of the dogtown used cannabis for his brain cancer (just saw it in the movie) but this movie is true to life

This is interesting stuff.  I bought the new Da-Vinci Ascent vaporizer with the intent to vaporize oils.  Too bad you are too messed up to have a normal conversation.  :(

You really should tell someone in authority.  Each year, about 8 million people die from cancer.  If you know a way to stop them from dying.....

Idiot.

Because white men didn't want black men to think they were equal.

Quote
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others."
“Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

What if you don't inhale it and instead eat it or use a vaporizer?

I also guess we are all screwed since all air contains toxins.
