Thanks for the link. I'm no clearer as to why 420 is associated with pot, and I think the author of the article may have overindulged a little themselves from time to time

By the time people are in their 20's and can buy an expensive stereo system they can no longer hear the full range of sound that the stereo can reproduce. (I learned that one back in College when we covered decibels and other such in maths).
