Secret Code 420 - in the footsteps of history (1.)

It's difficult to find what to do with 420 different numeric expression and compare them. 411 or 911? Lucky 7? Devilish 666? 3 God? Sexual 69? Or tragic 9/11 or LSD-25? Or even infinite 3.1416? While these numbers are significant, they never not express what is reflected in the community numbers around 420.

SMART-TIMES

Most smokers, probably adopted as the fact that 420 originated in San Rafael, California, Steve Waldo, who used the phrase "420 Louie" in high school. Waldo used it as a secret code to remind friends, meet their huličské meeting at the Louis Pasteur statue, 70 minutes after the 3:10 dismissal from school.

I found, but many other versions, so where is the truth and the true origin of the 420?
Hulice must be maintained, for example, that it was a defiant attitude towards the police enforce laws against marijuana, and the significance and importance of people and things, such as Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, Cheech and Chong, Jamaica, Haight-Ashbury, Amsterdam, and THC , it actually is not. In other words, the origin of the 420 serve as a good, famous, and often humorous, teacher or reason.

The most common theory of origin was that it was 420 in Los Angeles, "the police code for action against huličům marijuana." In examining the validity of this assertion, I once called the police department in Los Angeles, and asked if 420 was a "real" police code action against huličům. He replied the officer and explained that 420 in their "criminal book" (code violation or crime) "prevention or preventing entry to or to pass on public lands." So I ask, therefore, what is the code for anti huličům marijuana. He answered that California's code 11350 for "any narcotic drugs," including marijuana. (Now in Kalifonii marijuana legalized)

From history even Steve Waldo, in the High Times ("4:20 and the Grateful Dead," May '01) explains: "Although often said that 420 is the police code of law enforcement on drugs in California and in San Rafael, but It is part of the State Health and Safety Code, in which all sections have five or six-digit number, sometimes separated by commas. Marijuana and related activities, including a violations fall into the middle 11,300th (so choose!)

Police code, as the original theory, seems to be false, but points out that marijuana is an illegal substance, and points to the value of the difference between what is right and what is different, the fight against it. So if you want to accept the police code as a symbol of smoking, like defying the laws that make smoking illegal, you are on the right track. I note that in California, marijuana use is now legal!

Another version of the illegal marijuana culture theory was that the 420 comes from Albert Hofmann, who discovered LSD-25th LSD-25 was first synthesized in the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland, in 1938, and it was April 16, 1943, when Hofmann did a "fresh brew" and he swallowed 250 micrograms, then experienced the first LSD trip extreme HIGH "for science "(Acid Dreams, Martin Lee and Bruce Shlain: XVII-XVIII). This theory, but rather about the origin of LSD, than marijuana.

Perhaps the most creative but questionable temporal theory was that the 420 comes from the position of "dangling doobie" (I do not know how to translate it, something like a "mouth piece"> finicky) when you simply Jamaicans have a taste. And at 4:20 in the afternoon term is the right one.
