what’s appropos about 4:20? What’s the story there?
In the pot enthusiast world, when you say 4:20 it means time to light up. And it has become slang for pot.
According to urban legend, some kids in California, they called themselves the Waldo’s, not the Choom Gang, used the 4:20 time to meet after school for their pot parties, it stuck, I guess.
Larry Hagman said in an interview once that after Champagne, pot was his next favorite thing. So much so, that he said he wanted his body run thru a chipper and spread out as fertilizer for pot plants. So, for a pot aficionado to die at exactly 4:20 has humor and a wicked irony. The only thing more surreal would have been if Larry died on April 20 @ 4:20!
