One of the most highly anticipated holidays of the year is right around the corner, and G4 has a whole schedule in place to allow you to enjoy your 4/20 celebration in just the right way. There's a whole slate of goo-friendly films for you to watch, coupled with an all-new Attack of the Show Hawaii celebration that promises to put the lava back in your lamp. It's so big that it's going to spill over into the morning of the 21st, because you're going to need to take it easy and relax after such a long day.

So, what are we showing for the celebration? Good question. Here's the schedule:

Re: 420

The calendar has arrived at that most high-spirited of unofficial holidays: April 20th! Today at G4, we'll be celebrating 420 all day with a lineup of shows and movies that give an in-depth look at marijuana culture, so load up on Flaming Hot Cheetos and grape soda, dude. Here's what's on the 420 schedule:

* 7PM: Attack of the Show: 420 Special. AOTS will be covering all sides of pot culture today. Kevin Pereira is traveling all the way to Australia to bring back news on that country's near legalization of herb as well as hang out with hippies in Nimbin, a small village where they smoke a ton of weed. Back in the States, Chris Hardwick is looking into the science of THC, the primary intoxicant in marijuana. It isn't 420 without Amsterdam of course. Attack of the Show was on hand at the Cannabis Cup this year, where the best weed in the world is celebrated...and smoked. Comedian Doug Benson and G4 correspondent Alison Haislip travel to the newly built Oaksterdam University, also known as “Cannabis College.”

* 8PM: Half-Baked: This stoner movie standard stars the great Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer and Harland Williams with guest appearances by Snoop Dogg, Jon Stewart, Willie Nelson and Tommy Chong.

* 10PM: Super High Me: Check out the world premiere of Doug Benson's stoner-mentary that tracks what happens to Benson when he smokes marijuana every day for a month. Spoiler Alert: He gets really, really high.

Over on the G4tv.com side, we're celebrating in our own special way, with 420 features, videos, news and even special guest star Doug Benson stopping by to visit us on the web.

Plus, you can follow our 420 Twitter feed all day long, especially while we're all tweeting ("tweeding?&quot together during the shows on Monday! @DougBenson himself is one of our followers. Just sayin'.

By the way, at this very minute, it's 4:20 in Tbilisi, Georgia, Comrade! Every hour we'll be telling you where it's 4:20. Because it's always 4:20 somewhere. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

Re: 420

Hey San Francisco: it's 4/20! No, I'm not trying to get everyone worked up about celebrating Hitler's birthday. Instead, I'm pointing out that its, International Pot Smoking Day.

There are many legends how the term &quot;420&quot; came about. One version has claims the term originated from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School who would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. Another version claims that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place.

I doubt that 420 has anything to do with Hitler's birthday. But if the Furor did smoke more weed chances are he would have followed through with his dream of pursuing that art career.

For the stoner-sect, working on a Northern California pot farmer must seem like the equivalent of a fat person winning one of those contests where they get to stuff their shopping cart with as much food as they can in one minute. I actually worked on a pot farm in Mendocino County (part of the Emerald Triangle) as part of my book, The American Dream.

What I learned: the fantasy isn't always the same as the reality. Since it's 420, as an annual tradition here are a few facts and fictions about working on a pot farm:

There is copious amounts of weed on a farm, TRUTH!

You better believe it. Bushels and bushels of freshly trimmed weed stacked to the ceiling with such exotic names as Trainwreck and Purple Indigo.

It's easy to find a pot farm to work on in San Francisco. FALSE!

I had one pot farm scheduled to work on and the night before leaving I got an email that the DEA swooped down and took all their plants. Other times people were really flaky on when I should be going up (&quot;Oh, dude? Was that today!?&quot

The local police are always ready to bust a pot farm. FALSE!

In Mendocino the local police aren't concerned about the weed that is grown in the area. Busting all the farms would crash the local economy. What they are more worried about is robbery. Gangs from L.A. have come to this area armed with AK47s to rob farms of their weed because it's so profitable and abundant.

People who work on pot farms really, really, really like pot. TRUE!

It couldn't be more ideal. They can trim weed and smoke it ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Not only that, but they can do so while listening to hippie music ABOUT weed and centering ALL conversation, like wine snobs, around, well, weed.

It's fun to trim weed. False!

Trimming weed is one of the most monotonous tasks known to humanity. All day long you sit shaping buds over a garbage bag with a pair of scissors and rubber glove on your hand. If this were perfectly legal I'm sure this job would pay $7.50 an hour. Instead, trimmers are paid $100 per each pound of weed they trim.
