4-20 (you have to say "four twenty" to be cool!) is supposedly derived from police lingo when they have a "pot alert" or whatever. It's like the police code for calling in whatever charge (selling, possession, not sure).

oh some guy told me that four twenty was a bill that some people were trying to pass to legalize marijuana (bill 420... or something like that).

I thought that 4-20 was the day that some famous rocker (haha forgot the name) died in the 70's and he was big on the marajuana so it's in his memory.....?

I don't think anyone really knows for sure why it's 420, but my money is on police lingo.
