It’s not an extreme bicycle trick, but 420 may leave you face flat on the ground.The blurriest day of the year, April 20 – also known as 4/20 and 4:20 – is the not-so-well-kept code for April 20, National Pot Smokers Day.

According to Steven Hager, editor of “High Times,” an online publication that speaks out to the stoner audience, the term 420 dates back to 1971, when a group of a dozen or so students at San Rafael High in San Rafael, Calif., would use it as shorthand for the time of day to meet up and smoke marijuana.

[...]April 20 might be a day when folks designate a time to smoke.

But for Campus Safety Services, it’s a day when 85 of its officers will be on duty and patrolling the campus for signs of drug use.

Heavy.
