Does anyone know how the term 4:20 got associated with marajuana use? I’ve asked quite a few people and gotten a different answer from each person and none of then seen likely. Thanks.

the term ‘420’ comes from the amount of chemicals in the plant. the most famous being THC.
luke… i am your sperm donor.
Actually Luke, in the 70’s(?) a police code 4-20 in the bay area(not sure what city), was someone who had posession of dope.
<DoH> I mean qbert
I have heard it refers to a radio code law enforcement uses to signify “marijauna smoking in progress”
Um, the numbers I usually associate with marijuana are 24 and 7.

Here is a site that claims it found the origin of the phrase.
It seems the police code theory is false.

Umm, I’m not sure what you’re smoking(I suspect it’s crack), but I’ve never heard of a $25 dollar Eighth…
I even used to kick it with dealers and unless I was buying the dirtiest brown, I never paid that little.
Of course, I’v not smoked out in like 10 months, but you know…
Then you must have been kicking it with dealers who didn’t like you very much. $35-40 for 1/2 oz here.
I thought it was because 4:20 is tea time in England and “tea” is a slang term for marijuana.
Also, 4:20 is tea time in England and “tea” is a slang term for marijuana.
Did I type that or just think it?
What?
Never mind.
Brymo:
Thanks for the link. It sounds credible to me.
As to the price questions. It’s all supply and demand, I’m afraid.
When I lived in Michigan, I never paid more than $15 or $20. But since I moved to Pittsburgh, I can’t find it at that price. And I am talking some good green. Usually with some red hairs in it.
Also, I was wrong about the oweing me money assumption. I saw my (former)conection this morning. It turns out that she is pregnant. So she is not buying anymore. She was just picking up mine at the same time as a favor to me. And she repaid me.
So the dry spell continues for the foreseeable future. Oh well. I will live. I hope.

The 420 conundrum. I always thought that 20 divided by 4 equals 5. As in the number of leaves on a leaf of a very young marhijuana plant.

Off topic, but i’ve always wondered like, if, like, the inappropriate use of like, the word like, is like related to, like, marijuana use. 
If it was, my roommate would say nothing but “like” all day long, and as it is, he uses the word about as much as your average person.
$25 for an 1/8th is pretty damn steep in Texas. A 1/4 oz. is usually $20-25. You also see quarters being sold for $30, but those are always more than an actual 1/4 oz, usually at least 9 grams.
I had a friend who moved to Texas from South Dakota, he was shocked at how cheap pot was here.
I did recently pay $60 for a 1/4 of hydro, but it was some awesome stuff - all bud, mostly red hair, no seeds. I have a pretty high tolerance and I would get high off of two hits.
