If you don't have teenage children, or don't spend much time with teenagers, the phrase "420" won't mean much to you.

"Rather than celebrating such a 'holiday', educators, law enforcement officers and health advocates want students to bungee and bounce their way to a sober and drug-free life choice at their annual anti-420 event."

The event is held at El Camino High School in Oceanside, California and is intended to create a carnival-like atmosphere were teens can also learn about substance abuse and addiction. Read more at NCTimes.com.
