wikipedia said:
Origin
The origin of the term "420" is the subject of some dispute and much speculation, and so no theory can be said conclusively to be correct, but the term seems to have first come into popular usage in the early 1970s.
Commonly accepted origin
Snopes.com, High Times magazine, The Marijuana-Logues, and The Straight Dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. One piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty". This theory is also the most cited and the most widely accepted.
Other possible origins
H. P. Lovecraft's short story, In the Walls of Eryx, which contains the line, "My route must have been far from straight, for it seemed hours before I was free of the mirage-plant's pervasive influence... When I did get wholly clear I looked at my watch and was astonished to find that the time was only 4:20." This theory for the origin of 4:20 was first postulated on the official website for the band Tool.[3]
The second line of the first stanza in the children's nursery rhyme 'Sing a Song of Sixpence' reads: "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie". This theory probably arose because "Baked" is also a common euphemism for being under the influence of cannabis.
4.20pm was the time of Albert Hofmann's first LSD usage. In Albert Hofmann's published report about his accidental discovery of the psychedelic drug LSD his journal entry describes that his first deliberate consumption of LSD occurred at 4:20PM on April 19, 1943 (Hofmann 1979). This date is known today as Bicycle Day. Hofmann's psychedelic journey lasted through the night and he finished his journal entry on April 21.

Known 420 Myths
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.
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.

Since I was addressed here by the young man, I thought I'd jump in here and defend my post.
I wasn't laughing AT you...just the thought that someone thinks they can TEACH my generation about weed is hilarious. Sweetie, we INVENTED weed, dirt or any other kind. Every generation thinks they know more than the one before it, but believe me on this one kid....these "grandparents" know weed.
And, as for adressing me as "granny" only one person is allowed to do that, and that's my granddaughter.
Now...why don't you go back and play with your stoner friends?
