The BS was that you said the new story was only a few years old and you

certainly seemed to imply that the new story was therefore more difficult to believe and "convenient" to ignore the older Hitler origin story. Maybe you weren't implying what it seemed you were... And you said "official" in a manner that was all knowing, which was complete BS, just because of the order you happened to have heard stuff. It was BS. Own it. The old high school story was something I heard in the late 90's because of High Times. Speaking of google, the first page I landed on was a 14 year old New York Times story about the high school origin. ** Edited by BG Hokie at 4/21/2023, 9:39:18 AM

Based on Bob Dylan's tune Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. 12x35 = 420 and the

No idea, but if Hitler smoked a lot of weed, maybe he ends up a lot more
Late 80s Hokie • 04/21/23 08:10 AM ET
Stalin and Mao were worse. On a % basis, so was Pol Pot.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/24/23 02:28 AM ET
More likely he develops psychosis and becomes a mass shooter. **
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 09:10 AM ET
Any evidence to support this assertion?**
J-Dub • 04/21/23 09:59 AM ET
6 out of the last 10 school shooters. **
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 10:20 AM ET
I would bet each has something else in common other than weed.
reestuart • 04/21/23 11:54 AM ET
You are correct.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 12:07 PM ET
Not very compelling evidence there. If you pull 10 random people
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 11:13 AM ET
Angry and isolated describes a huge percentage of the population
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 12:27 PM ET

Something like this: Fox News induced shooting of teenager
J-Dub • 04/21/23 10:37 AM ET
I asked for evidence. Where is the marijuana-induced Psychosis evidence?
J-Dub • 04/21/23 10:26 AM ET
see, they smoked dope on occasion, so that turned them into murderers.**

Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 01:04 PM ET
Sounds like correlation without causation to me.**
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 11:27 AM ET
Sounds like something a guilty pothead would say**
Nova Hokie 95 • 04/21/23 12:04 PM ET
Never consumed weed before. So nope...**
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 12:07 PM ET
Curious...did you research the use of other drugs.
vthokieq • 04/21/23 11:21 AM ET
I run a family office.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 12:26 PM ET

GreenvilleVT • 04/23/23 12:52 PM ET
You are confident. But right? Nah...**
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 02:40 PM ET
A family office for what?
vthokieq • 04/21/23 01:38 PM ET
It's the "family firm" of course! :)**
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 02:40 PM ET
I have no need or rationale to explain what I do to you.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 01:49 PM ET
LOL**
vthokieq • 04/21/23 02:07 PM ET
If states really loved the tax revenue, it would've been legal decades ago.
NokieHokie • 04/21/23 01:15 PM ET
Well, one problem is the feds never legalized weed.**
RJHokie • 04/23/23 10:14 PM ET
Do the states really love the revenue
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 01:11 PM ET
I think they love the revenue as cigarette sales volumes drop.
GreenvilleVT • 04/21/23 01:14 PM ET
Kinda getting off topic, but the point of representative democracy
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 01:25 PM ET
LOL.**
reestuart • 04/21/23 09:48 AM ET
Still a lot less death**
turkeywinghokie • 04/21/23 09:22 AM ET
Hitler was hepped up on goofballs a lot...
mancunian • 04/21/23 08:52 AM ET
LOL. I had the exact same thought. **
reestuart • 04/21/23 08:47 AM ET
Instead he chose crystal meth, and we saw how that turned out.**
EDGEMAN • 04/21/23 08:15 AM ET
Meth is bad mkay**
turkeywinghokie • 04/21/23 09:23 AM ET
that's the story I had always heard, but now there is a new one
Vienna_Hokie • 04/21/23 07:10 AM ET
I'd always heard 420 came from the time 4:20pm
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 09:31 AM ET
Your post is unclear to me. Are you saying you always heard it had to do
BG Hokie • 04/21/23 09:00 AM ET
no kidding- I've always heard the home alone after school version
Vippie1 • 04/21/23 09:11 AM ET
anyways, to be clear, I call complete BS on what you're saying.**
BG Hokie • 04/21/23 09:02 AM ET
you are calling BS on the fact that I heard years ago the Hitler/420 link?
Vienna_Hokie • 04/21/23 09:15 AM ET
The BS was that you said the new story was only a few years old and you ◄
BG Hokie • 04/21/23 09:29 AM ET
I swear the story of 420 coming from 4:20pm after high school
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 09:42 AM ET
right, word of mouth story that was finally printed probably in the late
BG Hokie • 04/21/23 10:20 AM ET
Now that you mention it, I always remember it being shown as 4:20
Tafkam Hokie • 04/21/23 10:41 AM ET
