I guess I was always kept out of the loop but what is the big deal about April 20th? All I know is all of my friends used to get high on that day.

I remember one of the rumors was that 420 was the California State Penal Code for possession of marijuana. That I know is untrue.
420. Every person who unlawfully prevents, hinders, or obstructs
any person from peaceably entering upon or establishing a settlement
or residence on any tract of public land of the United States within
the State of California, subject to settlement or entry under any of
the public land laws of the United States; or who unlawfully hinders,
prevents, or obstructs free passage over or through the public lands
of the United States within the State of California, for the purpose
of entry, settlement, or residence, as aforesaid, is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
Here's what Wiki says:
Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the
term, it is widely accepted that in 1971 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971), a group of teenagers at
San Rafael High School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Rafael_High_School) in San Rafael, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Rafael%2C_California), calling themselves
"The Waldos", used to meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29)
at the Louis Pasteur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur) statue.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-1)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-2) The term became part of their group's
salute, "420 Louis!",[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-3)and it eventually caught on more widely. Many
cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally.
By extension April 20 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_20) ("4/20" in U.S. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) dating shorthand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country#United_States)) has evolved into
a counterculture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterculture) holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume
cannabis.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-4)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-5)[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28cannabis_culture%29#_note-6)

As was my sister. She does not enjoy that day very much, what with the potheads, Nazis, Columbine, and it's a day earlier but the Oklahoma City bombing was the 19th.

Haha. I love 4-20. But not because I smoke, because I like to go downtown and observe the people that have just smoked. I was always told Bob Marley died on that day. Let's ask Wikipedia.
Nope. Not true.
What do Napoleon, Hitler and Tom Green have in common?
