Snopes.com, High Times Magazine, and The Straight Dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California used to meet every day to smoke marijuana after school at 4:20 PM at the water tower. One piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty" and not "four hundred twenty". This theory is also the most cited, and the most widely-accepted.

Occurrences In Music
"Come Together" by The Beatles (on 1969's Abbey Road) lasts for 4 minutes 20 seconds. It includes the line "He one holy roller", a possible reference to the practice of rolling up marijuana cigarettes.

"Even in His Youth", a b-side by Nirvana (on the single "Smells Like Teen Spirit") - listed as 4:20 in duration on the single's cover, while the song's length is actually 3:06.

The Bob Dylan song "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is informally known as "Everybody must get stoned" since the chorus repeats that line. 12Ã?35 = 420.

Rap artist Afroman released an album called "4RO20" and his website http://www.afromanmusic.com runs under the slogan "Where it's always 4RO20". Also, he changed the label on his "Colt 45" bottle to say "Cult 420", as seen on his website. Also, the clock shown on his website is stopped at 4:20.

Theories aside, the plan is to study Kanji all day (with a small pause of new episodes of Veronica Mars and Supernatural) and then head off to the local Japanese Restaurant here in Embra for dinner courtesy of Dad :-D Sushi here I come...
