The story is that at 4:20 pm every day kids would get out of detention and meet up to smoke pot . 420 became code for going to smoke some weed from that amoungst the high school students and it just kind of spread.
I knew someone on here would know, lol. Ahh, detention. I never actually had one. That can be my excuse for not knowing about this 420 thing.
I drew dreadlock Hitler on a friend's bedroom wall in pink oil pastel and electrical tape (for the dreads and moustache, you understand). At the time we both thought it was awesome and spent about 20 minutes trying to find out what number we had to call to get entered to the turner prize. Then the pot wore off, but the only difference was we couldn't be bothered to find the phone any more.

On 420 one of my friends dropped our bag of weed in the canal and he had to fish it out, twice. It wasn't even wet.
