Is there something behind 4/20 I'm unaware of?

4/20 is the degree marijuana burns or something like that.
There's a list of things I think you can find here:

why celebrate christmas for just one day? we should give to our families and friends always. sometimes holidays remind us of whats special and important

*coughs violenty*
* Police dispatch code for smoking pot is 420. The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands.
* There are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used.
* April 20th is National Pot Smokers Day. Well, it is now; but that wasn't the origin.
* April 20th is Hitler's birthday. Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it.
* April 20th is the date of the Columbine school shootings. This happened after the term was already in use.
* 4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland. Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea.

Actually, it is. It's unknown which of these times and actions actually kicked off the whole "420" thing.
well, it could have existed since frikin woodstock among a small group of hippies. who gives a shit though? nobody knew shit about 420 (stoners included) until the early 90's.

More bullshit. People *DID* know about 4/20 before the nineties.
"It is widely accepted that in 1971, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, calling themselves "The Waldos", used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue."

yeah, ok. you're still wrong.
i already stated that it likely existed in a small group of people for however long before it went mainstream. woodstock being a hypothetical reference which was strongly implied.
will i always have to spell it out to a frikin tee for you?
:edit: ever hear of a "link" ?
