Happy 4:20!

Happy 4/20!

While the ravages and costs of cannabis prohibition are largely defined by one's geography—these days America is a hodge-podge of varying cannabis penalties, ranging from West Hollywood California where a medical cannabis patient can access the herb 24/7 from a vending machine; in Indiana, if caught with just a little cannabis on one's person, they're getting arrested, prosecuted and likely going to jail—this '4/20' celebration in 2010, as is NORML tradition, is a combination of both the serious and silly!

There will be dozens of major 4/20 'protestivals' today from New York City to Seattle, to the expected largest one in the nation I'm speaking at in Denver Colorado. Major newspaper articles and stories on TV will abound by day's end. In fact whole television networks such as G4, Comedy Central, Spike and Current TV will devote some or all of their programming today to celebrating cannabis and, implicitly, the herb's reform.

Also today, NORML launches a new advertisement for 4/20 on Times Square's largest electronic billboard calling out New York City politicians and law enforcement for having one of the highest—and most racially disparate—cannabis arrest rates in the United States. The advertisement will run 18 times a day until late May, and will be seen by an expected 1.5 million Times Square visitors.

These protestivals and public celebrations of cannabis culture in North America is a greatly anticipated and celebratory annual event at NORML since the mid 1990s, but the serious political message of this wonderfully creative day (beyond the obvious one of 're-legalize cannabis now!') for this specific year is to direct as much NORML membership and public attention as possible to donate and support the voter initiative on the ballot in California this very November that will effectively legalize cannabis for adult use, cultivation and sales.

I guess within the past 10 hours, the only one's who showed interest in the holiday were Acrid, me, and now Yogi. lol. I guess everyone is still smokin'...like Terry, I know that naysaying naysayer puffs down daily.

LOL! I have no problem with smokers. It's just not my cup of tea.

Oh, I showed interest.

NORML in Times Square? A change is gonna come.

Washington, DC passed a Medical Marijuana Bill yesterday allowing chronically ill patients to recieve prescriptions to buy from a legal distribution center...on 420 of all days...fuck yeah....

I gotta say.... yesterday was a good day.

that is hilarious slang...

Slang you retarded! Datz funny as hell. I like to use Thor Marvel Ultimate Alliance, he's one of the best all around fighters.

yea that thing is hilarious...i didnt make that though i found it posted somewhere for 4:20 and had to post it here

Maaaaaan, I missed 4:20 this year cuz I get drug tested. And if I test positive, I gotta go to rehab. So 4:20 was depressing for me this year. But there will be many more to come.
