PNP and "420"

[Man O War]

I am really embarrassed, but lately I have seen references to "PNP' and "420", and I have absolutely no idea what these terms mean. Can anyone educate this old fart!

These expressions were recently explained to me. 420 is a term for pot, grass, MJ, whatever. PNP is party and play and usually involves crack, K, or even Ecstasy. That's what I was told anyway.

Many thanks to Jackhammer and Steve for clearing this up for me. This is one of the things that makes this site so wonderful.

Me too, I had no idea what these meant but have to say I have never seen references to 420. Never.

Try going to a local chat room. Some people even have "420" in their chat room screen name.

Does anyone know why "420" was chosen to refer to pot?

According to the 420 Dictionary http://www.420dictionary.com

 

The overall theme of 420 is to enjoy smoking your favorite herbal smoke marijuana at 4:20 in the AM morning. Only the hard core partiers, rap artists and true herbal smoke lovers will enjoy partaking in their favorite buzz at this time.

RE: 4:20 AM/PM

 

Here's what I've heard:

 

"According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos. The term 420 was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. ``Waldo Steve,' a member of the group who now owns a business in San Francisco, says the Waldos would salute each other in the school hallway and say ``420 Louis!' The term was one of many invented by the group, but it was the one that caught on. ``It was just a joke, but it came to mean all kinds of things, like `Do you have any?' or `Do I look stoned?' ' he said. ``Parents and teachers wouldn't know what we were talking about.' The term took root, and flourished, and spread beyond San Rafael with the assistance of the Grateful Dead and their dedicated cohort of pot-smoking fans. The Waldos decided to assert their claim to the history of the term after decades of watching it spread, mutate and be appropriated by commercial interests. The Waldos contacted Hager, and presented him with evidence of 420's history, primarily a collection of postmarked letters from the early '70s with lots of mention of 420. They also started a Web site, waldo420.com. ``We have proof, we were the first,' Waldo Steve said. ``I mean, it's not like we wrote a book or invented anything. We just came up with a phrase. But it's kind of an honor that this emanated from San Rafael."

 

But hey, AM, PM, it's all good!

Best 420 story :

 

I have a friend who loves weed and he has made a side career out of providing it to others. The crazy thing is that his birthday is 4/20 and yes...he and a group of his friends get together and blaze for the auspicious occasion. I was there this year and though the people were cool, I really dont get in to weed. It is such a lazy ass drug...definitely not for me
