Yes, please.

4/20 happens every year.

What is the significance?

Sorry. Duh...

[judih]

Here the official explanation:
taken from snopes at

http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/420.htm

Claim: '420' entered drug parlance as a term signifying the time to light up a joint.
Status: True.

Origins: Odd
terms sneak into our language every now and then, and this is one of the oddest. Everyone who considers himself in the know about the drug subculture has heard that '420' has something to do with illegal drug use, but when you press them, they never seem to know why, or even what the term supposedly signifies.

It's both more and less than people make it out to be. '420' began its sub-rosa linguistic career in 1971 as a bit of slang casually used by a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in California. '420' (always pronounced "four-twenty," never "four hundred and twenty") came to be an accepted part of the argot within that group of about a dozen pot smokers, beginning as a reminder of the time they planned to meet to light up, 4:20 p.m. Keep in mind this wasn't a general call to all dope smokers everywhere to toke up at twenty past four every day; it was twelve kids who'd made a date to meet near a certain statue. It's thus incorrect to deem that '420' originated as a national or international dope-smoking time, even though the term began as a reference to a particular time of day.

These days '420' is used as a generic way of declaring one likes to use marijuana or just as a term for the substance itself. Its earliest connotation of having to do with the time a certain group of students congregated to smoke wacky tobaccy is unknown to the overwhelming majority of those who now employ the term.

Pot is nice. But not for everyone. The same for booze.

i have seen the best minds of my generation sitting energized around clouds of smoke leaping off into tangental dreams of connected rhymes and fearsome truths. moloch! moloch! moloch! o tender grass, i am with you on new york city streets. i am with you at university protests. i am with you on clear dark nights behind chain link fences and streetlamps and in nowhere alleys and endless parks. i am with you from out the door of this american everywhere!

Yep it was 4/20 yesterday, and I can prove it because

Yet Another Columbine plot was foiled, or so they say.

It is getting to be a yearly tradition like spring break.
