Re: Happy 420!!!
There's lots of rumours about why 4:20 even exists. The most solid source, from some marijuana magazines, is that in the sixties a group of teens would go and smoke marijuana at 4:20 pm after school every day. Coincidentally there's also April the twentieth where someone said, "Hey, we smoke weed at this time, AND LOOK IT'S A DAY WITH THE SAME NUMBERS!" Other rumours are that marijuana has 420 chemicals in it. Wrong, it was 450. Rumours that it marks Bob Marley's death. Wrong, he died May 11th. Rumours that it use to grow wild along highway 420 in Ontario, Canada. Again, this is wrong.
I had quite the day, I used to smoke weed all the time, but I quit after I got alcohol poisoning the day before the superbowl. It's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing. I've seen it from both sides of the window and it's really a neutral substance. It's the extremists who really drive the whole deal out of proportion. "OH IT'S BAD ANYONE WHO DOES IT IS WASTING THEIR MONEY AND HAS NO HOPE IN LIFE," I'm sorry, have you tried it? No? But, without a firsthand experience you're just talking off of secondary sources. If you have tried it and believe that then it's all in opinion, but I rarely find anyone like that. Then there's pot smokers who daily smoke hefty amounts of weed. Sure they're influenced by it and it changes their way of thinking and damages their brains gradually. But it's not YOU who's doing it, so stop bitching about how they're scum and need to find something better to do in their life.
Funny story, today after school I was sitting in a park with some of my friends and we look across the field to see some kids smoking pot in a dugout. Grade nine and ten girls mostly, skids (emo/goth hybrid) most of them as well. This park's just across from the school and it's about 2:40, ten minutes after class gets out. I have the idea to phone the school and inform them of what's happening. So my friend does so and they all got caught and most likely suspended. Had a good larf or two over that.
Saying anyone who smokes pot is a waste of flesh is a stereotype and it really wouldn't surprise me if you turned out to be some racist **** because of how you judge people without knowing them. If you think all pot smokers are stupid, then you're just as stupid. Maybe some are, but when I used to with my friends we all still got on the honour roll every term, in fact I haven't missed a single honour roll yet and neither have my friends. If you think it's bad because your close friend or someone that you knew well had their life messed up because of it, then you don't choose friends very wisely because they're weak and let substances rule their days.
