Happy 420

Ever wonder how "420" was started. As mentioned in Time Magazine:
In 1971, five students at San Rafael High School in California would meet at 4:20 p.m. by the campus’ statue of chemist Louis Pasteur to partake. This group became known as the "Waldos" because they met at a wall. They would say “420” to each other as code for marijuana. The group challenged each other to find ever-more-interesting things to do under the influence, calling their adventures “safaris.”
One of the guys in the group got work with the Grateful Dead as a roadie, so the band is said to have helped popularize the term “420.” In 1990, a group of Deadheads in Oakland handed out flyers that invited people to smoke “420” on April 20 at 4:20 p.m. One ended up with Steve Bloom, a former reporter for High Times magazine, an authority on cannabis culture. The magazine printed the flyer in 1991 and continued to reference the number. Soon, it became known worldwide as code for marijuana. In 1998, the outlet acknowledged that the “Waldos” were the inventors of 420.

Weed is awesome (and on its way to becoming legal in Kentucky) but making a thread about Happy 420 day is cringe.
Funny thing is Bill prolly has a weed pipe that big.
But explains his posting style. Anger un controlled
If you smoke you smoke daily most likely. Never saw the point of making a special day for it except when I was in high school.
Never smoked or did any sort of recreational drug. Don’t care if people do, just never was for me. Happy 420 tho
I’m 46 years old and have never smoked marijuana. What am I missing? Never felt the need?
Willie Nelson calls on Biden to recognize 4/20 as a national marijuana holiday
Willie Nelson is calling on President Joe Biden to make the unofficial marijuana holiday of April 20 a national week of celebrating cannabis.
I don't partake anymore, but back in the day, could roll the best one east of the Mississippi.
Happy birthday to a certain 20th century, democratically elected German chancellor.
Just grabbed an oz from the local dispensary.
In college I said that if marijuana ever became legal I would quit drinking. It never gives you a hangover the next day, plus you don’t get as stupid as alcohol. Only problem is TN it is not legal, man I hate this state.
Agree. I’m not short tempered though, I just react to bullshit too quick.
But sorry I forgot about our agreement that one time, that day was a blur for sure.
You are missing the heightening of the senses and the mellowing quality of a good high from some really clean weed. Food and music are clearly enhanced, along with sex. With a proper buzz, you will be imminently more tactile and romantic ... climaxing is definitely enhanced, to the point that you may feel like a flock of birds has exited your rear at orgasm.
Clearly, the effects vary for folks and the quality and strain of the cannabis makes a huge difference. If you ever try it, I suggest having some sweets and pastries around ... pop tarts, if nothing else.

Starting in 1976 with my second paycheck from a part time HS job, and on thru about 1986, I smoked pretty much every day. Yeah, I know...it probably explains a lot! If all goes according to plan I’ll be retired in 2026 (no longer having to fear random testing) and will go back to the ole daily routine.
Smoked a lot of bud back in the day. Boring looking back on it. Graduated to heroin (IV) and smoking crack in between doses to pass the time. I’d shoot my food if I could.
Kinda figured I should post in this thread. Been a little busy today, I think. Maybe I was just lazy.
