Did you know that the origin of the number 420 being associated with pot comes from a story by H.P. Lovecraft? In Within The Walls of Eryx, he wrote:
"My route must have been far from straight, for it seemed hours before I was free of the mirage-plant's pervasive influence... When I did get wholly clear I looked at my watch and was astonished to find that the time was only 4:20".
It's true. Check Wikipedia.
P.S. The picture to the right comes from here. It teaches kids how to grow your own pot. Remember to ask an adult for help!

I thought dope was for dopes? That's what my elementary school teacher told me. Plus doesn't it make you get the munchies? Munchies = more food = me fatter = no.
4:20 = teatime. That's what I always heard. Wikipedia is a bunch of opinions. You can edit entries.
What's wrong with being a dope? And pot speeds up your metabolism and causes you to lose weight. My grade 2 teacher taught me that.
Butchie: You're right. I made up that Lovecraft stuff and put it in Wikipedia myself.
You are makling the US lose the war on drugs... Pff Thanks a lot.
Wikipedia isn't exactly reliable, but I'll take your word for it.
how could you forget about 420? you're a psychology grad student. isn't that like... your only reason for living? haha. i am going to email you now so you should ch-ch-ch-check it out if you can manage with your brain being so drug-adled and all.
Hint: Never take my word for anything. At least not when I write it here. I tend to be an asshole and lie. (Not in this case though...it's a valid theory).
I managed, Sarah. I actually didn't even celebrate 420 this year, which is sad. I guess I have no reason to live now.
I can't believe CFNY (oops, I'm sorry: "edge 102") has a show about 420.
We're not The Netherlands yet, people!
No, we're still stuck just behind the Netherlands. Maybe one day we can catch up though!
