420 Lovers

By

420 Lovers: It just so happens that I have a good friend whose mobile number ends in 420 420 – hence the fascination around 420 as he does not meet anyone at 4:20 to perpetuate the practise…. The term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of dagga/marijuana/dope/weed/cannabis/pot-smoking students. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke dagga. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.

In this context the term 420 designates a ‘safe’ dagga smoking establishment – Coffee and a Bong in Coffee Bay.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
