April 20 -4/20 - highs and lows

Here’s a weird one:
April 20, being Hitler’s birth date has always been a date of heightened alert for neo-Nazi celebrations.
However, at the same time over the past few years April 20 has also become a day for celbrating the use of mariajuana (often by using such mentioned marijuana).
Marijuana lore has it that a group of students in Northern California (Santa Cruz?) made something of a ceremony of getting high at exactly 4:20 every afternoon. Soon 420 became a code for getting high or searching for marijuana and was used on beepers, or texted on cell phones. As 420 grew in popularity, some thought it referrred to April 20, and that became a day of covert and sometiems overt marijuana celebration.
Strange, right?
