    So apparently the reason behind April 20th being a big day for stoners (at least in the US) is that 420 is the police code for possesion of Marijuana.

    It's also Hitler's birthday :eek:

    Why do the good ones always go so young ???

    I jest I jest!!!

    They might have the best music, but they tend to have the worst personal hygiene and work ethic.

    It's the other way round, though: 4.20 refers to a time rather than a date where large groups of people would spliff up at the exact same time on the basis that the police couldn't arrest everyone.

    The 420 police code (I think) is actually named after the event. It certainly postcedes it though.

    Comes from only a small group of lads, who used to meet at 4.20

    Not too sure where the 420 police code came in

    Nope. It came from an article in High Times that suggested 4.20 as the acceptable time of day to take cannabis - based on a story about some friends that used 4.20 as a codeword for meeting to search for, or smoke, cannabis.

    Every US state has it's own statute book and individual counties/cities have their own police forces with different rules/procedures. To suggest that they all somehow have the same code for a specific offence makes me wonder if you've been partaking before 4.20 yourself :pac:

    Why is there a picture of the man who created pasturised milk on the page ?

    cause :
    In 1971, Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich, five high school students in San Rafael, California, calling themselves the Waldos because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school", used the term in connection with a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about, based on a treasure map made by the grower. The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Several failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword that the teens used to mean marijuana-smoking in general.

    All of this incidentally came from the same page, and there is an explanation of this under the picture of Louis Pasteur.....read man

    I’d say there’s a strong overlap with the stoner and computer game community. Lots of wallet chains and neckbeards.

    Meanwhile...
    In every single town and city in the entire country. the drinkers will be hitting the streets en masse at closing time. Stumbling and falling,pissing in doorways, blocking traffic as they all head for the local chipper or taxi rank at the same time, throwing their half eaten burger and chips on the ground for somebody else to clean up.
    Waking up tomorrow with a headache and barely remembering what happened the night before.
    Just another Friday night.

    But the stoners are looked down on and classed as losers.

    Not in my town (suburb of Dublin). It has a fairly good nightlife yet I rarely see that.
    Dublin City Centre maybe, but then drug users don't cover themselves in glory there either.

    What amazes me is how brainwashed many are on subject of weed, usually elderly people in Ireland.

    Genuinely think its like heroin or leads to heroin and refuse to accept its a herb seeeing it as a serious drug. Heard one woman in Busaras other day complain about Vera Twomey!.

    saying
    "Wanting that wacky baccy for the little one she should be put in a psych ward she should".


    Meanwhile the same people might get polluted in the local at weekends on the lethal drug alcohol and pop prescription pills like no tomorrow.


    The Hypocrisy is staggering. Strange that people fence of their minds like that. Totally disregarding facts like its safer than alcohol.

    Will pooh pooh cannabis but In Ireland many people totally ignore the desturction of alcohol why?.

    They drink it.

    Cannabis is a herb. Like to see cannabis friendly cafes in Ireland Ok not Amsterdam style but serve smoothies and chill music and a garden for people to have a smoke come back in, nice cake, scones etc for munchies.

    If you had a place like this in Galway or Lahinch make money hand over fist, while it lasts of course!.

    I think it would create so much buzz in the media that it would pressurize the clowns in government to maybe look at it again.


    I fly with it baby!.
