About 6 months ago, while preparing to move out of my apt. I
looked up at the kitchen clock...420. Cool. Did it up and
continued packing books. Uncle sid showed up and and i lost track
of time. (No...Really?). Freinds showed up and it was so late it
was early, one of them in the kitchen called out "hey! it's
420!" . Cool, sparked again. An other freind showed up.
"MD, it's 420!" . I'm thicking I can't be this messed
up....looking at the kitchen clock I see it is reading 420. OK,
it must have stopped there. Wild. Then I notice that the second
hand is bouncing! The clock was reapeating 4:20 and 42 seconds!!!!
Totallly WILD! after that I needed no excuse to smoke it up....just
go in the kitchen. The clock is in my new place and still
bouncing that same second. at least till the battery dies...

To: peter@sugarmegs.org i was reading all the interesting 420
stories....we didnt plan this...we didnt really "plan"
at all ...lol I was goin down to GA to see my friend Dave and WSP
show on New Year`s.....The day i was to leave ( i ferget the
exact date sorry )....I woke up at 4:00 showered, got dressed,
was taking a bong hit when i looked at the clock.420.Left about
an hour and a half later ....i thought to myself "if im
gonna start it off right id better start it right on".....Anyway
I got to Lisa`s house in in Scranton PA (I was livin in NY at the
time), had some coffee and schtuff and hit the road around 10.......
Ice storm.....in northern PA....accident ( we werent in it )...turned
into rain...traffic the whole way .....cut to 18 hours later....got
to Dave`s house near Atlanta at ...you guessed it.... 420 Had a
great time down even though we didnt get into wsp on new years
....speaking of which, we left for at 420...... On the way home
....an ice storm in south carolina of all places!!!!!!holiday
traffic during it as well..... took us for freaking ever to get
anywhere....my car wasnt helpin either....8cyl rear wheel drive......it
was a mess...we called our friend Heather in VA to see if we
could stay the night there.....got to va 3 somethin met p got to
her house at 420.....left the day after that at 420...well 430
....but it was still 420 in our minds on the way back we stopped
in Harrisburg PA to see Lou and Derek...chilled out for a couple
of hours......got lost on the way home and arrived at my moms
house near philly at ......yup 420 ..... next day we left my
house about 3 to go see Sue and Bennie in Philly....youll never
guess what time we got there.... thats the end of the 420
coincidences(?) and basically the trip..we hung out fer a bit but
i had to bring the car home before 12:01am the following morning
( insurance was going to expire at that point) so we left around
5:45....I dropped Lisa off....and got home with literally minutes
to spare.... the only other 420 incident that happened could have
been planned .......later that night (or morning) it was the
usual one except for one part of it....myself, my bong, some
tunes,some great memories of a wonderful trip, part of which was
a seemingly "strange"(?) set of 420 "coincidences"(?)

call the "MUCHIES!" We decided to hit the Burger King
in the next town over. We go inside, and when we get to the front
of the line Jon goes," Check this out..." He proceeds
to order. After he orders, I hear the chinese lady w/ the fake
eyebrows behind the counter go,"Fo Tweny." I was like
"No Way!" All you gotta do is order any 4 things off of
the Burger King menu that cost 99 cents. W/ tax and all, it adds

I asked everyone that worked there to see if someone purposely

On one lovely afternoon this past summer, I had been chillin at
the pad for about three hours or so. Me and the gang had been
listening to some Jazz and smoking some of the kindest I have
ever seen in these parts. Around 4 in the afternoon, munchies
called and we all piled into the car to go to the local Jimmy
John's sub shop. At precisely 4:20pm I puchased a Italian Night
sub and the total came to $4.20. Being rather baked, I giggled
and then noticed that the pimply faced kid behind the counter was
also smiling. At that moment, my buddy Dank turned to me and said
"Dude, listen..." to my surprise, they were playing
"Rift" over the loud speakers in my favorite sandwich

the road a ways that serves icy cold milk. With this in mind the

caraphor To: peter@sugarmegs.org Hey Peter, Check it out... In
May '97 I took my first roadtrip, to Rocky Mountain National Park
in CO., using I-70 , originating in KY. Heading back east, while
driving across Kansas I anticipated the 420 mile marker, as I
hadn't seen anything else but wheat for the past 5 hours and was
eager to recharge.so....418...419......421! I was in the
floorboard rolling! Somebody snagged it. This past May (98) I was
off on my now annual sebatical, headed to the Tetons in Wyoming...heading
back on I-70 I was even more curious to see what the fate of the
empty 420 was. It was like seeing an old friend and I was elated
to come up on it It was Gone, still :( I smiled and thought 420
things and went on down the road feelin' bad (One Word: Greyhound).
I focused on what's next? Well, 421! 421 had a Phat ass Phish
sticker on...kinda acknowledging that there was something not
quite right, but sacred, about this special spot. mile 422...mile
423 my heart dropped and then raced as I was flooded with joy. A
nice full color Steal Your Face sticker on 423 for Jerry G of
course. I thought how nice it was that we can all have this sort
of secret society witha secret handshake (420). How we can all
celebrate what is so sacred to us amongst ourselves in a symbolic
manner, and not really have to get alot of flack for it...because,
well, non-partakers aren't really consciously aware of it. And,
by it being symbolic and non-verbal....it is a much clearer
recognition to 'US' , not cluttered by our language- which is
often too vague to truly describe ideas in the way that we 'understand'
them . "Let It Grow, Greatly Yield!"

Well, this isn't really much of a story, but I gotta share it
since it happened just the other night. I was driving myself and
a couple of friends to town to grab some steaks to cook up while
we enjoyed our night of drinking Killians Irish Red and puffing
our dankest nugs that we had harvested a few days before.
On the way back, Chris says "hey I know this phat sign in this field we gotta check out." I was up for a little adventure, so we went and checked it out. He told me to slow down and turn off my lights next to this corn field, so I complied. He jumped out of the car and returned less than a minute later carrying this sign.
When we got back to the house he showed it to me...it was one
of those corn-marker things telling what chemical was being used
on what row (I think). The top had a huge M and below that said
Mycogen. The bottom said 2420 in big white numbers. So, being the
creative group we are, we proceeded to cover over the "ycogen"
with "akisupa" and covered the first 2 with an arrow
pointing to the right....I just hope the policeman doesn't come
to my house! Keep the site phat...peace.

at a marching festival in the TWA dome in ST. louis last year, my
friend and i were watching bands. between shows, we looked up and
noticed a section that seemed to call to us far off to the left....SECTION
420! we made out way there with all haste, and found ourselves in
the highest seating in the dome, directly below the giant blue
numbers. we sat down and he goes "man, come on, we have to!"
all i have to say is that it was a very kind marching festival.

If you live in Southern California and you are a carnivore like
me--there's no escaping the stony pull of In 'n Out Burger. >From
the famous stickers that can be clipped to read 'In 'n Out URGE'
(well, I thought it was cool when I was sixteen), to freshly cut
fries and the best damn burgers in the world (mmmm...burger...wiping
drool off lip) In 'n Out basically rules the known culinary
universe. And if you happen to be crippled from huge burbler
loads of the CRUSH--well, you know...
Order the Number Three--In 'n Out Double-Double, fries, drink.
The damage? $4.20, of course.
(before tax--which is better, 'cause it's right on the ordering
window) A fat load of dank for the World!!

Coleman To: peter@sugarmegs.org Up in Brewtown, WI. I was
watching the good ol' BrewCrew play the Chi White Sox in early
July, when I look up at the TV and see a good shot of the
scoreboard. No, the score wasn't 42-0 or anything, or the Brewers
didn't have 4 runs, 2 hits, and 0 errors. (That would have been
cool though...) But the shot was right on the clock, and it was a
big phat 4:20. On national TV. You know the camera man thought
that was phunny, but I wonder how many people actually got that???...SUGARMEGS

My girlfriend and I are servers at the Magig City Brewery and Pub
in Birmingham, AL. Besides being the state's first micro brewery
and having some very fine beer, it is also located at 420 21st
Street. Oh, and I lived in my tent in Vermont last summer, and
since I didn't have a real address, I put house numbers up that
said 420. I lived at the end of Dodge road, which is off of High
Street.

while on a week long excursion to camp Goddard, otherwise known
as Goddard College, breeding place of Phish, Dr. Katz, and Bill
Nye. Anyway as Goddard tradition goes white lighters are not
allowed on campus, anyone seen with a white lighter would have it
taken and smashed, so as not to cause bad luck to the camp(us).
So i was aware that it was 4:20, and i was also at goddard, it
was like a beautiful dream come true, across the camp(us) around
4:15, everyone had left class and was hurrying back to their
dorms. Overheard were expressions such as "I hit it on the
minute" and so on. Anyways, KEEP 4/20 alive and well
everyone

Last fall I got arressted for possestion and paraphanalia. The
cop was such an asshole (<----it's hard to express how much of an asshole he was) he impounded my car. Anyway- I was sitting (handcuffed) in the back of the car while he was searching the rest of my car and I hear his radio thingy. The cop on the other end of the radio said something about a 420 at some cemetery. Of course I had to laugh. It's also funny when we take standardized tests at school. We'll all be there in one huge room taking a test and I'll run across the number 420 in a math problem, so I look up and like 15 other people are looking all around laughing. 420 forever!! Love,xxxxx

the 420 in one of the "Got Milk" commercials. right
after the dude shoves all the cookies in his mouth and they go by
the closed store. the bus passes a mileage sign which reads: next
exit 420 miles. coincidence? this one always causes sparks in my
car on my way home from Utah (I live in CO, but still go skiing
in Utah quite often). On I80 East just outside Salt Lake City a
mileage sign reads Cheyane, WY (sp?) 420.

Well, there are several theories, many truths. My favorite is the fact that if you listen to Dylan's Rainy Day Women #s 12 and 35, and then you multiply those numbers together, AH HA! It is also a very nice time of the day in San Francisco...
from r.m.p
I think Dylan is the secret to 420. If you listen to the the ballad of judas priest and frankie lee, Frankie Lee goes to a house "with four and twenty windows and a womans face in every one."

ok, this has a dead reference...bty i dont want to start any
fights! 420 started in MARIN county ( thats in N CA). It was a
bunch of friends meeting to get high at this killer spot in the
mountains. Now...some of you know Jerry grew up in this area, as
did many of the wonderful people that were close to the DEAD, and
whom traveled the world with this band. They happened to take
thier little "inside" joke ( for lack of a better term)
with them. Now as this spread through the fans, it has grown into
a cult following, with meanings tailored to the place you happen
to be in. It is always always a reference to marijuana, and
though i have heard MANY times that it is a police code for
narcotics...i have yet to find any validation to this claim. If
you dont believe me, or just feel you need to see it for yourself....search
out a bottle from when jerry and the boys released thier own wine
in limited numers called Ye Old 420 Blend or something like that...the
history of 420 is printed on the side of the label for all to
read. I have read the bottle, and been to THE SPOT in marin, and
I share what is rattleing around in my head with all of you....for
what its worth. I hope this helps, and BTW ...the seapods came to
CA for the 1st time tonight...i was there and they rocked Ventura
Theatre!
