The other place i find giving the same info quotes the site you gave, and if you care to take a read it says they weren't even identified, sounds like bullshit to me. I mean if they weren't identified then how do they know they used to toke up at 4:20? The only time these unidentified teenagers mentioned the fuking number was in a skit using it as police code, which isn't a real police code. and who even documented the pirate radio skits? another unidentified person probably. I wouldnt care so much usualy just you ended your post in "i know my shit"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 atop San Rafael Hill. The local story has these students doing radio skits with a pirate radio transmitter from the hill. One of these alleged skits was of kids getting caught smoking by the local police. They imitated the police radio call voice saying, "We have a 4:20 in progress on San Rafael Hill." The San Rafael police have asserted that there is "... no such code." These actual students, however, have never been identified individually. The time became a code word for the drug, and usage spread. 4:20 PM has since become a popular time to "smoke up". (It's also worth noting that 4:20 PM is the time of LSD creator Albert Hofmann's first deliberate ingestion of the substance, in 1943 on what was later dubbed Bicycle Day; perhaps this is where the San Rafael teenagers picked up the idea.)
