    Ok I know what 420 is all about, and all that shit, but why 420? Why that specific date? I've heard its because of a specific time of day for stoners, i heard because of a specific date in history, even cause its what police would say if they encountered weed, like "We got a 420 on 52nd St" or some shit. Who knows? Why the time, why the date?

    Someone was trying to tell me it was because Hitlers birthday is April 20th but I didn't buy it.

    The Wiki is cool but some of the other references to Hitler's birthday and such are just funny to hear. I heard once that John Lennon started it. I also heard that it came from testers smoking pot who had to hit the joint for 4 seconds then hold the hit for 20 seconds. That is still hard for me to do. I also heard that the testers really wanted a 5 second hit so it really should have been 5/20 ;). Anyway Wiki is probably correct. But anyone heard any other funny theories.
