Here in Denver, 4/20 is the anniversary of the Columbine murders.

I'll just reflect with a clear head.

4/22 is Earth Day.

I always heard that 420 was the time of day when kids were home from school, but their parents were at work still thus the perfect time to smoke up.
As for me, there're are 1000 things I have to do that day including college visitation day with 800+ HS kids coming to campus, a philanthropy thing, SAE's Springfest music festival and Phi Rho Chi initiation. It's gonna be a long day.

D'oh! :o I meant to say that while 4/22 is the actual Earth Day, my city and university are celebrating on Saturday the 20th. Need more caffeine...

Question for Canadians
 

I just wanna know if I'm living under a rock here. Have Canadians ever celebrated 420? Or ever even heard of it for that matter?

Siobhan? You'd know more than any of us given the fact you're from bc :) . Is 420 new to you?

Widespread Panic is playing in Raleigh on 4/20, so I may go to that, plus, all the local "head shops" are having giveaways and contests in their stores for all the pot lovers.

Hey what's that suppossed to mean - LOL.

Actually considering I am from the pot capital of Canada - I have never heard of 420 until this post. I know that there was a certain time of day to light up, but a whole day, did not know that.

I tell ya there are going to be some messed up people in BC monday morning - Canucks game tonight, 420 on saturday and canucks game sunday night :p

my sorority sister is getting married tomorrow, and that should be a great time ~~ i'm from the last class to 'pledge' while she was a member, so i'm excited to see her get married, and meet a LOT of alumni and catch up with those sisters i've not seen in a while.

also, there is a HUGE (lol) debate team cook-out ~~ steak, salad, shrimp, some kinda SUPERB dessert, and of course, beverages (some how, everyone on the team is legal)

my debate team is cool - no geeks allowed~

lol - enjoy the day!

My boyfriend is from Ypsi (at least, when I was in A2, he was living there and that's how we met) & he always told me about the Hash Bash. While I totally believe that residents of A2 would be out smokin' up (talk about your hippies... that's why I love that city so much! :D .. the hippies, not the pot), I couldn't believe that it was permitted by local authorities. I only lived there one summer, so I wasn't around for a Hash Bash.. does this really happen?! :confused:

On another note.. we now both live in Columbus (OH), and one of my radio stations always plays "the 4:20 break" at 4:20p.m. They have what they call "the stash", which is older and/or rarer songs that they play all of the time. But of course, at the 4:20 break they HAVE to play something from the stash (get it.. haha ;) ) There's also this place called "The Joint" that is a smokers '(tobacco, of course) shop that has an ad played on that radio station every day at 4:20p.m. And they sell Tommy Chong's glass (I'm assuming these are pipes & such, as I've never actually seen one), so he's in the ad saying things like "When I go to Columbus, I hit The Joint, man!" & "High St., kinda where I live, man" (because The Joint in on High St.) Makes me laugh every time I hear it.
