Yes it was the time 4:20 when pot smokers met but not at San Rafael High, or maybe they did, and it's a coincidence, but at Edison High School in Huntington Beach California. 1971, and 1972, deals and smoke were happening behind the Horticulture area and 4:20 was the time. It became a code even then, you would raise 4 finger and then 2. It meant see you at the spot at 4:20. There was a reason for the time, it was when the area would be clear of any supervision and was a free place to smoke. There was a lot of pot grown in the horticulture class, and I remember once when we were all waiting for My Hoyland to leave, he came rushing in the room with a flat full of small pot plants and he wanted to know whose they were. The plants were all too small to have been any of ours! Our stuff was already well over 3 feet to 5 feet high and planted throughout the school grounds. My favorite was just outside the principals office window! 420!!!! It's quite possible that some students transferred to San Raf or from there to Edison and brought the code with them? But 420 was the code for pot smokers, it defined the place and time!
