Happy 4/20

4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a term used in North America as a discreet way to refer to cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis culture. Phrases such as "420 friendly" sometimes appear in roommate advertisements, indicating that the current occupants are tolerant of cannabis users.[1]

Origins and Observances

It is widely accepted that in 1971, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, calling themselves "The Waldos", used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. [2] [3] The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis,"[4] and it eventually caught on more widely. Many cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[5] [6]

There are also many apocryphal urban legends attempting to explain the origin of the term. Two of the most common of these are that 420 refers to the number of active ingredients in cannabis, or that it is police dispatch code for cannabis.[7] In actual fact there are around 315 active chemicals in cannabis, varying depending on the exact plant used, and 420 has never been verified as the police dispatch code for anything in any locale.

420 Campaign

The widespread popularity of 4/20 celebrations in the U.S. has brought about calls advocating for the reform of American marijuana laws. The 420 Campaign urges individuals to become involved in the political process and the drug policy reform movement. Specifically, the Campaign calls for leveraging "April 20th as a focal point every year to concentrate pressure on Congress to legalize marijuana."[8] In addition to contacting state and national legislators, people can take action by supporting organizations—such as NORML and MPP—that represent the interests of marijuana users and other concerned citizens.

Slightly Stoopid - Officer Lyrics

It all started late on a saturday night
Said who's got the spliffs and who's got the pint?
Look out the window, said to my surprise
Here comes the man in blue and his flashing lights
He said now "your party's fuckin' over with
Because ya smokin' bluntsand you're rolling spliffs,
Now tell me what'cha think i oughta think of this?
Say want'cha pull out your sack or you be missed."
Say now mr.officer come charge me all the time
You got me for possesion, but i swear that it's not mine
No matter what you do or say
It's bound to come right back this way
And if you want a moment's please say
This what you'll say c'mon an'

Let's get this party started
Until the break of dawn an'
Let's keep this party movin'
Until there's no one home an'
Let's get this party started
Until the break of dawn an'
Let's keep this party movin'
All you got to do is sing.

Can't take the pressure for long
All they wanna do is roll 'til after 2
Getting high then they singing this song
Snap another b then drink another brew
[X2]
C'mon

At the roadblock but me so sorry mr.cop
I bet you anything me gonna get stopped
At the roadblock but me so sorry mr.cop
I bet you anything me gonna get stopped
Hey mista coppa said now why'd you stoppa me? na na
I wasn't driving the car badly
I said don't go lock me up because me smoke sensi
Yes, this is the ghetto but i live 'cross the sea
Say now mr.officer come charge me all the time
You got me for possession but i'll swear that its not mine
No matter what you do or say
It's bound to come right back this way
And if you want a moment's please say
This is what you'll say c'mon an'

Let's get this party started
Until the break of dawn an'
Let's keep this party movin'
Until there's no one home an'
Let's get this party started
Until the break of dawn an'
Let's keep this party movin'
All you got to do is sing.

Can't take the pressure for long
All they wanna do is roll 'til after 2
Getting high then they singing this song
Snap another b then drink another brew
[X4]

no its just there is no evidence if you smoke a joint
