420 Friendly? – The Image above already has given you a clue. This is a common snippet a lot of people post on their profiles in order to connect with the right types of people. However, not everyone who is 420 friendly will know what it means so how can they connect with that person on a deeper level?
What is 420 friendly and how will it affect you?
First, we have to understand where this phrase originates. Although there are many theories out there, 420 actually originated as a code word. Students in California weren’t allowed to smoke during school, obviously, which meant they had to wait until afterward.
This time, 4:20 in the afternoon, is when their friends would all get together and smoke marijuana. So after a while, they would all reference 420 while talking to each other in the open, using it as a code word. At first, they would use it to basically ask if one another looked high or even if someone had any marijuana.
Then it was used as a means of communicating the fact that marijuana was present. So what does 420 friendly mean? It means that someone either smokes or doesn’t mind marijuana.
What does 420 mean on a dating profile?
While online dating, you’ll stumble across all types of people. You may find that at the end of a few of these, the person will write “420 friendly” at the end of the bio. This means just as it states. That person is tolerant or even smokes marijuana.
That’s not to say that they require that of a person, but rather, they want to make sure the person they connect with knows and is okay with it.
Why do people need to announce that they’re 420 friendly?
It might be a silly thing to think about. Why would someone basically announce they smoke marijuana or use it in any way? It’s not exactly something you should advertise but it’s particularly important for a few reasons.
#1 It’s illegal most places. There aren’t many places smoking and using marijuana is legal. Even though it’s becoming more and more widely accepted, there are still governments making it illegal everywhere.
Which is why it’s understandable some people aren’t going to be too thrilled by the idea of someone close to them smoking marijuana. It’s illegal. They might not want to get caught up in any legal trouble if it comes to that.
#2 Not everyone likes being high. There are some people who just don’t like it. Not that they have anything against it. It’s more like they just don’t enjoy being high and would rather not be around someone who could get them secondhand high.
So they might not want to get involved with someone who makes it a regular occurrence. That means they’d want to know upfront if someone actually smoked or not.
#3 It doesn’t smell the greatest. Those who know what this smells like knows it’s a very strong scent. It’s not something a person can just get used to if they’re around it enough. Some people really hate the smell. If someone knows they can’t stand the smell, even if they don’t have anything else against it, they might not want to date a person who smokes it.
#4 Some people strongly dislike it. There are also those extremists who have everything against it. They hate it. Obviously, if that’s the case, they won’t want to be involved with someone who smokes or is 420 friendly. To them, it’s this horrible thing they’d rather avoid altogether.
Knowing what 420 friendly means can come in handy a lot more than you may think. And the next time you see this on a dating profile, you’ll know whether or not that person is for you.
