Maybe you LEOS already know this, but I didn't until today.

I learned that if you see the term "420 Friendly" in a roommate ad or anywhere else it means:  pot smoker friendly (marajuana/dope/weed/ganga/tambi).

It seems that April 20th is that national pot-smoking day, and "420 Friendly" has become the term for weed smokers to identify each other.

Maybe you all knew this, but I never got that memo.

Interesting....

I believe the 420 came from the police codes, a 420 was a possession of pot code.  Sortta went from there.

I have heard several theories... both of these are plausible (though I don't know real police codes)...

I learned  that 420 has a dual meaning -- in the white supremacist movement, no less.

Sucks getting old, I'm not in the memo-loop anymore to keep me "hip".

The fact that I had to Google this to break the code makes me feel like a.......  parent.

"Police Codes" (Penal Codes) are different in every state.  There may be a state where 420 is the code for possession of marijuana I do not know.

"187" tends to mean Murder all around the Country (It is the California Penal Code section for Murder)
I am guessing other states have other Codes.

In California H&S 11357(b) is the code for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

Maybe the Mythbuster dudes can tell us for sure if it is based on April 20th (4/20), or 4:20, or related to white supremacists?

Nope.

I'm pretty sure my father doesn't know about it.

That'd be about it, though. There's bushmen in the Kalahari who are probably sporting 420 shirts about now...

I just learned two weeks ago what 420 meant, and it was in the course of my job.

Is there anyone versed in the Bible?

There is a passage that refers to God making plants and the herbs and they are good ect.
planting the seed and whatnot.  

It is apparently bookXXX 4:20

I thought 420 was the former California penal code section for marijuana possession, kinda like 502 was the former section for DUI, which changed about 1959 or so.

Uhm, yeah.  You see, deal is that I haven't watched the movie--a co-worker was talking about it the other day and I must've misunderstood who the actor was.  C'est la vie.
