I found this on wikipedia & also saw this on G4tv's special on 4/20

4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a term used in North America as a discreet way to refer to the consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with the drug subculture around cannabis.

[edit] Origins and observances

Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term, one central root of the phrase stems from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971; the teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue.[2][3][4] The group was known as "The Waldos" because they would sit on a wall[4] and became popularized in the late 1980s by fans of The Grateful Dead.[5] An older origin for the term may have been from "In the Walls of Eryx" by H.P. Lovecraft, where the main character has been influenced by a "mirage-plant", loses his perception of time, then looks at his watch to see that it "was only 4:20." Many North American cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.[6][7][8] In some locations this celebration coincides with Earth Week.[9][10][11] 4:20 is also the hour figure of the number 42, a prominent number in popular culture.
