I agree about the time massaging, Larry.
OTOH - 420 may have come from the bus from northern climes arriving in Weed at that time.

In 2005 I was unaware of the meaning of 420 so the bus lady explained. Wasn't in the NYC slang for such back in the late 60's.

Where I stayed once in 2005.  The bus arrived, appropriately, at 4:20
which gave the bus company lady the giggles when she answered my question about 
when it would get there.

Somehow I think that the schedule might have been slightly massaged
   for that propitious bit of timing.

I think that in college I may have had a friend that went to the high school
 in Marin where that little bit of slang came from.

Some enterprising individuals are making a little bit of
 money off of the paronomasia involving the town’s name:
