Middleton police warn parents about term '420' | Crime

The term 420 is sometimes code for marijuana use, according to Middleton police officials.

Because of the calendar date of April 20, Friday will be a counterculture date for celebrating the use of marijuana, police said.

Many high school students are aware of this and we know some are making plans, police said.

Police are hoping to make sure parents are aware the date, the code and what their children are up to, especially on this day.
