But this day isn’t just about marijuana. It’s also the 13th anniversary of the Columbine massacre and the birthday of Adolf Hitler. Naturally, Twitter had much to say about all three events:
#Happy420 to all my fellow stoners!!! Stay positive love life and smoke good!!! #SALUTE—

It's 4/20,and instead of smoking marijuana today,the alumni of Columbine high school remember a tragic event. #stopcelebrating—

It's Hitler's birthday. Or, as Mel Gibson calls it, "Christmas".—

The woman in Safeway's bakery department sounded really weird on the phone after I ordered a "Happy Birthday Hitler" cake.—

Update: Predictably, no one is happier today than rapper Wiz Khalifa.
