Every possible theroy you could ever imagine about the origin of 4:20.

I just think of it as a reference to smoking, and rarely acknoledge it. ( I wont wait for 4:20 to roll around )

I don't like the whole 420 idea. It's just too overused. It pisses me off to no end when posers and non-smokers use their knowledge of 420 and the 420 culture to make it look like they smoke to prove their coolness or something.
I don't smoke on 4/20 because of how overused and commercial it has become. Fuck 4/20, we need to think of a new date with some real significance and keep it a secret among true pot enthusiasts.

Well, I was told when i was young that it has to do with 420 degrees being baking temperature. 420=ur baked. never really thought about it much.

I don't have anything against 4:20. Its not that I purposely observe the time, but its kind of cool glancing at the clock during a session and knowing theres thousands of other people doing the same thing at that poit in time. I also celebrate the day. I don't do anything extreme, but its as good of an excuse I need to hang out with my friends smoking weed all day. Really no different than any other day we're hanging out, but again cool to know a lot of other people are doing the same thing.

AS for Hitler's b-day and Columbine....no connection. yes, they fall on that date, but those two things go against what most stoners believe in, and I refuse to let things like that tarnish an otherwise fun day. If Osama's birthday was New year's Eve, would you quit celebrating it?

How cool there are so many associations with this number!
Just remember...it's always 4:20 somewhere.

I've heard several theories such as: Snopes.com, High Times magazine, The Marijuana-Logues, and The Straight Dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue. One piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty". This theory is also the most cited and the most widely accepted

Karen Bettez Halnon summarizes and analyzes several popular theories about 420, explaining how it functions as a multi-faceted expression of pot-smoker identity and community

H. P. Lovecraft's short story, In the Walls of Eryx, which contains the line, "My route must have been far from straight, for it seemed hours before I was free of the mirage-plant's pervasive influence... When I did get wholly clear I looked at my watch and was astonished to find that the time was only 4:20." Lovecraft describes these "curious mirage-plants" as having a "shaggy stalk", "spiky leaves", and "mottled blossoms whose gaseous, dream-breeding exhalations penetrate every existing make of mask." This theory for the origin of 4:20 was postulated on the official website for the band Tool

One that I heard before I toked was it is Hitler's birthday, which is true but I doubt thats the reason.
