  It seems that the Bloom Dude over at Celebstoner.com has cleared up a lot of mystery about the genesis of the term 4:20 and for older reefer smokers that’s a good thing, since I also thought the term was related to a police code, borrowed from the TV show Adam 12 (ie. “marijuana smoking in progress”) which makes me chuckle to think that once upon a time a police dispatcher would actually put out a call saying something like that, now a days the cops would just laugh and think it was a joke. However, apparently that’s where the students from San Rafael High School got the idea, so I wasn’t all wrong, thanks to Steve Waldo of San Rafael for clearing that up.
  According to the Celebstoner – Everything you ever wanted to know about 420 but were too stoned to ask it was the Grateful Dead that adopted 4:20 (the time) to turn it into 4/20 (the date) and the rest as they say, is history. The “Four Twenty” significance has long ago gone global. One of the my favorite café’s in Amsterdam is called the “420 Café” it’s been there for at least a half dozen years, and all throughout the cannabis culture there’s tons of 420 artwork emblazoned on a myriad of products sold from a wide array of shops. Perhaps it’s the most well known symbol of the cannabis counter culture, and will likely remain so until well after the last law has been changed, to make smoking weed completely legal everywhere, until then it’s our own symbol of unity, recognized around the world.
  The list of 420 events has grown huge, some of the most notable are at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of California at Santa Cruz, plus my home city Vancouver, Canada hosts a huge smoke-out downtown outside the art gallery. Many artists and performers plan concerts and special events to commemorate the date, I think the best list can be found on Celebstoner here:
  I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone reading this message, who plans on celebrating 420 in style tomorrow, a groovy good time. Partake in 420 with love and peace and remember the words of Freewheelin Frankin:

  Dope will get you through times of no money,
  Better than Money will get you through times of no dope.
  ~ Freewheelin Franklin

   As a hardcore stoner from 1980-2004, my recollection is that the phrase 420 did not become nationally popular until the late 1990s. I recall at the National Rainbow in maybe Arizona setting up 420 roadblocks and cracking up with the hilarity of new slang. BTW, I’m doing an online on-going novella about stoners in the mid80s called “The Summer of 1985.” It’s at http://www.summerof1985.wordpress.com...
