Hey All,
Yah well I just realized today is 4/20 and I'm sure most of u know what that means( national smoke out day). So stupid! Anyway, I just find it so odd that I'm actually crack and pot and all drugs free! I normally on today's date would be smokin myself silly. I kind of miss it but ya know I don't need it. And I just wanna say congrats to all of u who are continuing to stay clean everyday! Good Work...Keep it up
hello
had not thought about the date yesterday. where i live people who use look at 4:20 as a time every day to smoke. never really got hung up with that. i work nights and live on a different schedule than most. glad to hear you are sober. i think we all miss it at times, like after eating, before and/or after sex. so your not alone there. i wonder if we will always miss it? i suspect yes. but oh well, life goes on. have a good day.

I KNOW IT'S 420 AS WELL. AND I AM 16 MONTHS CLEAN! WOO-HOO!!!
Pat on the back for all four of us ! And a shout out to all young people and their families everywhere to be free from the lies and the pain of the cycle of drug abuse. Choose 4/20 as the day you move forward in your life.
I just had to add this....my 17 year old son is a user and has recently left home. Anyway, I was looking at his myspace page and his friends pages and they are all celebrating 420. They made t-shirts and are pawning things so that they can really celebrate. (Pawning their parents things I should add.) Pretty sad. I didn't know what 420 meant until I read it on his web page. Am I clueless? Did everyone know this but me?!
Sorry to hear about your son being a user....I found this information to help you.
I was unaware of the 420 expression up until about 10 years ago. I believe this is also the date of the Columbine shootings in 1999. Maybe the boys who committed the murder knew about 420 ? It is my theory that in order to cope with the loss/pain/fear, many young people have continued this 420 thing because getting high is the only way they know how to deal with grief. Sad state of our world. Perhaps it is also a form of creating an unhealthy way to honour the dead. Makes me sick to my stomache.
I hate marijuana. Today, it is the enemy.

"What does 420 mean? There are varying theories on the origin of 420. Some say that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Yet another story is that a group of guys (Waldo's) in the 1970's made 4:20 their official meeting time to smoke marijuana after school.
In the 21st Century, 420 is firmly established as a code amongst tokers, a time of day and even sort of a toker's New Year's Day. It's in our culture now and only time will tell where it ends up.
April 20th (4/20) is another usage, meaning that it is time to plant before the summer.
Whatever the real story is, 420 has been an important part of the marijuana culture since the 1970's. The significance of 420 has been kept underground and is mostly known only among marijuana smokers. Many non-smokers aren't aware of the symbolism when they see someone wearing a T-shirt or baseball cap that says 420 across the front.
When the 420 icon is somehow discreetly worked into a mainstream product like a film, marijuana users take notice. The film Pulp Fiction is rumored to have had all clocks throughout the movie set to 4:20. Marijuana smokers familiar with the symbol picked up on itmost people, however, did not.
While some marijuana smokers are using 420 as a code that enables them to openly speak about marijuana in front of parents or teachers. 420 has been to some, a sacred symbol for nearly 30 years.
Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time".
