Sort of OT: We did not know what “420” meant

[TuVu]

Kid is looking for a room to rent in S.F. Bay Area. I went to Craig’s List to help, and several listings said stuff like “420 friendly.” I Googled, and this is some kind of police code for marijuana. Just wanted to inform other clueless parents, who probably 420-ed themselves.

It is not a police code and it’s origin is nothing other than some high school kids made it up because that is the time of day they would meet to smoke back in 1971. Shockingly it was in Northern California, San Rafael to be exact. Like most doper legends, the story drifts from the truth over time and few of the people that use the term know it’s true origin.

Wiki even credits it on the city page, I bet that makes the city elders so proud.

Thanks, temeculaguy. I just did the barest of research and didn’t even think to try Snopes, where I go frequently to answer my dad’s e-mails which are always urban legends. My dad is in his late 80s. Our kid just isn’t into mj because, like most of my side of the family, she has allergies to cig smoke, mj smoke, and incense. What’s weird is that in 1971, when I was a baby hippie, that term wasn’t even heard in So Cal.

It’s a good thing that the allergy doesn’t extend to cigars, that would be tragic and reason enough to find a good alergist. Now that you know what it means, you are going to notice it everywhere until the no cal kids think of a new name for the hippy lettuce.
