DO YOU KNOW WHAT 420 MEANS?
Have you ever heard your teenager reference the time “4:20?” Many parents don’t realize that 420 (pronounced “four-twenty”) is a “secret code” for a time to get high. The reference to 420 presumably dates back to ’70s stoner lingo but is still widely recognized by the youth of today. Some people have even designated April 20th as “National Pot Smokers Day.”
If you hear your teenager reference 420, see that he/she is using the term while instant messaging with friends or has a 420 sticker on his car or backpack, call him on it. Let him know you know what he’s talking about.

Oral drug tests use a swab of saliva taken from the test subject’s mouth as a sample to test for the presence of drugs. Because they are simple to adminster and much more diffcult to falsify than some other methods of drug testing such as urine analysis, oral drug tests are becoming very popular.
