4/20 was also the first date of "The Great American Smoke-Out" ~ an effort to get all tobacco smokers to quit for one day. Ironically, the pot smokers made it a day to smoke out literally instead. I have also heard that it was originally part of a police code for potentially smelling marijuana, but that rumor I have yet to research. Anyway, I too teach HS and for that reason am usually somewhat up to date on current teen culture. |
