Well, 2 classes actually, but I usually have 3 on Thursdays. The last time I had the cancelled class, my teacher was like "since it's a national holiday on thursday, I'm cancelling class." It took us students a few seconds to realize that thursday was 4/20 and then we all laughed. But he was like "no, I'm serious...it's a national holiday, so no class." I'm about 99% sure he was serious. If he wasn't, it'll be just him tomorrow

i so bet it isn't, and your teacher will give the class a pop quiz and then fail everyone because no one was there

I'm hoping you're wrong...he can't fail the whole class...can he?

hahahahaha

probably a quarter of the kids in my school probably won't show up at school tomorrow because of 4/20.

daaaamn.

what a coincidence that my last exam is on the morning of 4/20
could be an interesting night.

thats bulshit

Lucky you...my last exam is May 9th. Haven't even taken my first yet.

Can someone PLEASE explain this 4/20 thing to me. I know it has something to do with drugs. But other than that it makes no sense at all.

Thank you

i don't think there's any real significance. it's just an excuse to smoke pot.

I believe that 420 is some type of police code. I'm not sure if it's specifically for pot or if it's drugs in general or what, but the cop would get on the police radio and say something like "We've got a 420 at 3rd and Chestnut".

"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 water tower. 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."

also: "Refuted urban legends: 420 is a police code for a drug bust or for "marijuana smoking in progress," or that 4:20 is or was the shift change for the police. However, there is no 420 police code."

great research Robbo!

So that's not really where it came from? Wierd, that's the only story I've ever heard and I've heard it from tons of people. Well, thanks for the info!

heh, it looks like it's the type of thing where lots of origin stories are spread around

this explanation of the origin of 4/20 is the one that i know of... and i'm pretty sure that's it cause that's what the pot kids told me?

its basically a "international smoke pot day".

I knew that too...do I get a brownie?

4:20pm is like teatime for potheads.

You all have NO CLASS.

It's appalling!
