Asking about people's and speculator's sentiment here.
No one knows the exact impact of Silk Road, and no one knows to what extent any effect is exaggerated by speculation. Anyway, will be interesting to compare to past year's rates....

I would imagine you would have to order your weed a few days prior to 4/20 to celebrate on 4/20.

420 is a "pot" day of sorts, people like to get stoned out of their minds on April 20. I don't know the history of why though.

420 is a "pot" day of sorts, people like to get stoned out of their minds on April 20. I don't know the history of why though. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/20/420-weed-day-marijuana-april-holiday_n_1437964.htmltl;dr: (Wikipedia) The earliest use of the term began among a group of teenagers in San Rafael, California in 1971,[2][3] calling themselves the Waldos,[4] because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school".[5] The group first used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about.[4][6] The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time.[5] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword that the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general.[6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture) I don't think we'll see anything significant due to 4/20 being reflected on bitcoin. The volume that SR makes up isn't that large to begin with. But I certainly will be celebrating! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

And then, you have to order more weed to replace what you and your stoner buddies smoked on 4/20. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

It is highly unlikely people would purchase stuff on Silk Road on April 20, just as one would not be particularly inclined to fly on September 11. This marks the one-year anniversary of Silk Road's largest scam in history. Of course, maybe Silk Road customers are too crazy to care.

I'm an "Outreach coordinator" for the 4/20 rally in Denver, the one in front of the capitol building. Over 200,000 people expected throughout the day. Maybe over 500,000. Tons of weed DOESN'T come from the silk road ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I wouldn't think weed is a significant part of Silk Road.
Weed is really easy to get for any person that does drugs. And it's not as easy to mail either .
I don't know if there are any stats available but would imagine weed is one of the least popular drugs to buy on the market. At least for Americans.
Rarer, hard to come by drugs are probably more popular on Silk Road in rates disproportionate to their general use. Stuff like rarer psychedelically, DMT, high-quality MDMA and all that other groovy stuff.

Hitler's birthday was on April 20. I've always found it weird that the date has become associated with pot smoking, haha.
