You're right. I forgot there was kids here. We shouldn't be the ones to teach them about 420. They should learn about it the same way we did, walking into the school restroom. ;)

Would it be wrong for me to ask what day exactly is 4/20? Maybe I'm just forgetting with all the homework and essays that I have..?

4-20 can mean a lot of things, It can be Hitler's Birthday, There also the Columbine shooting, Robert E. Lee stepped down as the general in the civil war, cop code for a drugs, and more list of events.

Did I ever tell you about the time that a girl who had a crush on me invited me back to her apartment to smoke a bowl and I told her I don't smoke weed? Possibly the stupidest moment in my life. Any romantic intentions she had towards me were immediately thrown out the window as she came to the conclusion that I was a straight edge wuss.

I'd never even heard of "420" until last year when a MySpace bulletin survey asked if I celebrate it. I had to figure out online what it was.

You're right. I forgot there was kids here. We shouldn't be the ones to teach them about 420. They should learn about it the same way we did, walking into the school restroom. ;)

In my 13 years of school (17, if you count college), I never once encountered a pot-smoking student, in a campus bathroom or store room or anywhere.

I don't approve of marijuana, and I hate potheads with a passion.

Ditto. I didn't need any school programs or commercials to teach me about the dangers. I just needed to look at a pothead uncle I had, and that was more than enough incentive to say "no thanks."

I like to educate myself, just so you know, which is why I know about those events. I wouldn't even know about Columbine if it wasn't for the fact that people associated the video game Doom for causing those two kids to shoot up the school, and found out the deeper meaning if I didn't investigate the case myself.

Hell, I didn't know what it meant until just recently, but I knew about Columbine and Hitler's birthday for years and what day they fell on.

You seem to be under the impression that anyone who smokes on 420 is a pothead. That would be like saying that anyone who drinks on Saint Patrick's Day is a drunk.

That's funny, because no one in my middle school joked about that kind of thing. There was a zero tolerance policy on drugs and violence so most kids didn't dare step out of line.

I only learned about 420 when I was researching Rob Van Dam online to check out his early ECW stuff. That may explain why he always made "high" references in his promos.

I also may not have known everyone by name, but we all knew each other simply because most of us came from neighboring schools.

To be fair, there are plenty of responsible citizens who enjoy the occasional smoke in the privacy of their own home. It's just that you can't tell it just by looking at them, and they don't go out of their way to advertise it because they don't want to get busted. The reason you only notice the stupid loser potheads is that it's only the losers who are stupid enough to let it be widely known that they enjoy pot.

Marijuana is no a harmful drug, Cigarettes and Alcohol are much more damaging. Which is why among many other reasons its eventually going to be legalized.

I think you'd be surprised how many people smoke pot. They're obviously not going to tell you that they smoke pot if you're incredibly against it. I mean, I knew this girl in high school and we ended up going to the same college together. During the first semester of college I found out that she smoked pot throughout high school. When I asked her why she never told me she said that I was such a narc in high school that she didn't want me to know. Well, she didn't use those exact words, but that's basically what she was saying. My point is that most people who smoke pot aren't stupid enough to advertise it to people who may not approve of it.

As a young, impressionable child, I looked up to my superheroes, as they taught me how to face the world's injustice with a strong determination to right all wrongs and face my problems with confidence and strength.

You're not seriously basing your life decisions off of Power Rangers PSA's, are you? Because I listened to Michaelangelo as a kid and I refrained from smoking weed, and that totally crippled my social life in high school. Michaelangelo totally ruined my life.

Or just tell her you can't because you're job hunting and might have to pee in a cup in the near future. Remember, kids, just because it's not okay to do drugs to get girls, doesn't mean it's not okay to lie to get girls. (-:


Yeah, basically. You don't have to smoke weed to get girls, you can just lie and say that you smoke weed to get girls...though, then you need to figure out a good excuse to use when they pass the bowl to you. How about "You really look like you need to relax, you should smoke it all yourself"?

sdp, this thread's main purpose seems to be ENCOURAGING people to try the drug in question tomorrow. Do you know how irresponsible that is of an adult man to do such a thing on a public message board?

You're not seriously basing your life decisions off of Power Rangers PSA's, are you? Because I listened to Michaelangelo as a kid and I refrained from smoking weed, and that totally crippled my social life in high school. Michaelangelo totally ruined my life.

Dude, you listened to a Turtle that lives in a sewer, hits people with nunchucks and eats pizza. Of course he wouldn't know a thing about socializing. I listened to teenagers with attitude, but they cared about the environment and youth, and they interacted with school kids so they definitely knew what they were talking about

I'm amazed by the naivety of TZ though this always happens in similar topics.

I don't like Weed or any drug but people who aren't informed are just as bad.

Marijuana is no a harmful drug, Cigarettes and Alcohol are much more damaging. Which is why among many other reasons its eventually going to be legalized.

I was "late" figuring out what 420 was and I was in 7th grade, it is definitely VERY well known. Not to mention you must live a pretty sheltered life if you've never seen anyone smoke pot, especially in the US it is extremely common and popular.

Marijuana is not bad, just because you were brainwashed as a kid doesn't mean anything, do some research on google if you don't believe me. Not being informed is just as bad. I wasn't even going to post again but thought maybe indeed someone could learn something..

Like drinking coffee is a habit that can lead to an addiction. Coffee is pretty bad, too. But it hasn't destroyed as many celebrity careers as weed, so it's nowhere near as dangerous.

No matter what, even healthy food if you abuse it it'll have bad consequences that are no joke.


But according to people who have never researched Marijuana or tried it are the first to judge. But if thats the way you want it there is no changing you, just don't expect people to take you seriously. So if you want to discredit Michael Phelps winning the most olympic medals because he smokes weed then go ahead.

I really don't like Marijuana but come on don't make stuff up if you don't even know what exactly it is. You watched way too many anti-drug ads. Yet people mock all the environmental messages they used to give them as kids and look at the state of the earth now. People don't have their priorities right.

So you don't think people should smoke pot? I thought you smoked pot and thought it was awesome? Are you changing your stance on the grass?

There's a big difference between someone enjoying something themselves, and advocating that other people do it. It's a choice for each individual to make for themselves. Just like alcohol, sure, there are some people who just can't handle it, and it's probably the best choice for them to stay away from it. But most people can have a drink or a puff every now and again and not develop a problem, so that choice is up to them.

1.) If wild fires are your concern, shouldn't you be advocating a ban on matches and lighters?

2.) Marijuana does not cause strong hallucinations. This is a myth. Like all psychoactive drugs, it DOES affect one's perceptions, but no more so than, say, alcohol. It's not a good idea to drive under its influence, but as long as it's confined to the privacy of one's own home, the risks associated with that altered perception are minimal to say the least.

3.) Marijuana is not addictive and does not create a chemical dependency.

If you choose not to use marijuana, that's entirely your decision, but it's better to make INFORMED decisions based on facts than those based on misinformation. You have literally not made a single accurate statement in this entire thread. You certainly have no right to judge anyone else for making their own choice which has no effect on anyone besides themselves.

Contrary to popular belief, Drugs don't make you a puddle of scum. It's your weakness to take control of your life, and inability to understand what's more important that makes you a puddle of scum. I thought like you once. Put my foot out for D.A.R.E. and "Say No to Drugs", and after never having taken drugs in life, researched it and spoke to users, I understand the appeal. People do it to party. People like fun, and like being happy, which at times the world needs desperately.

The problem is when those people forget that it's not always fun time. There's work, and needs and responsibilites that you have, and those fun loving people are to stupid and weak to take control and set matters straight, which is why there's alcoholics anonymous, or other rehab clinics.

But just like they're people who are weak, I believe there are people who are strong. I'm sure there is a major CEO who took some time off this week and is having a great 420 right now. This world is too damn huge to have such a tiny mindset that drugs will always ruin your life, no ifs no ands, no buts.

So, asking directly, how often do you smoke, Old Guy?

I think a lot of pot enthusiasts aren't aware of the Hitler connection to 4/20. I remember in college that one of my pothead roomates once stole the number off another rooms door, number 420, and put it on ours. I was 'effing with him and told him, "Man, don't you know that's Hitlers Birthday!" and telling him that people were going to think we were Nazis but he just stared at me dumbly with his big cow-like eyes.

Anyway, 4/20 isn't just, or even mostly, national weed day. It's the time of day to smoke up every day. People will do it and say "Man, just imagine, other people all around the world are smoking right now!" They forget about timezones.

Marijuana doesn't cause hallucinations in my experience. If it does you're probably smoking more than just marijuana. I haven't done it in a few years and never did it regularly, but the most I ever saw were some smoky trails and shapes when I closed my eyes.

It won't make you go crazy and kill yourself like in that reefer madness movie, either. But at the same time it's not a worthwhile thing to spend a large portion of your time on or devote a large portion of your identity to, either.

And I worry, lately, that buying pot that you don't know is homegrown is unethical, because it might just be fueling the drug war in Mexico.

I just want to say that it's sad that we can spend five pages talking about this political issue, but Sun's thread about the very important issue of our government using torture got no replies before it got locked.

If you want real facts about the drug I suggest the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuna) about it. You can find the "effects" section and see the health issues with using it. Elsewhere, the controversy over the more serious effects is noted.

Personally, I have no use for smoking. I also think drugs are flat out stupid, and I think that the glamorization of pot that I usually encounter just amounts to self-gratifying absurdity. Some people like to think that they're bold and daring and are fighting the power by doing it or by defending it...it's amusing and sad at the same time, really. In reality, for a lot of the young generation, it's just conformity to a college fad. Meanwhile, a host of other serious issues get ignored. But they'll defend their right to party--good job, guys! Sorry if that sounds harsh, but what I've seen of the pro-drug movement has never impressed me. I often wonder how many are honest and how many will just move on to advocating another taboo, far more serious drug should pot ever actually get legalized.

For my part, I do not and will never need any sort of drug to be happy. I am a social drinker that has never been drunk, and I never will be. I'm quite happy ruling myself and not letting any substance do that for me. If some people think they need it that's their choice I suppose, but I have no interest in artificial happiness. And I will further add that if someone in real life were to so disrespect this that they want nothing to do with me, then fine. The feeling would most definitely be mutual. I am my own master, and I will not compromise that just to get along with somebody else.

And that's all that I have to say about this.

That said, I don't think weed should be illegal. Not only is medicinal marijuana legal in some states, but if it's legal all around, it can be taxed, which would generate money, and that's sorely needed right now. And we don't waste so much money on law enforcement either.

Dude, don't be sarcastic about this. This is a serious issue. You're losing my honor.

Before I forget, Desensitized, I LOVE your avatar! Where is it from?

And with the 4-20, I'm not particularly supportive of pot, but I do understand the benefits to the economy and medicine it could do, and I certainly would not condemn other people for celebrating it.

Kind of funny how I actually have two coworkers who took today off from work with no apparent reason other than "out of the office" and without any advance notice. I will not make any assumptions. :p

Giving 100% seriousness to all this sarcasm? Why, you sir, must be using pot! :eek:

And I am so 100% serious bizness about that.

Look, I know pot is dangerous and all that, but isn't it just a distraction keeping us from dealing with the REAL threat?

Does anyone here use a grinder? I heard that it grounds up the marijuana into a better, more smoke-able form (and the more advanced ones have a lower chamber to catch all the keef that falls off in the process). The crystals are keef.

That sounds rather dangerous to me. I don't think that's worth celebrating, guys.

Let me tell you a story from a friend of mine, Daxdiv. He's from Belgium.

"Last night me and a mate were chilling in the park with a few spliffs and some beer. As we started the final spliff we decided to take out some free newspapers from the metro which we'd stuffed in my bag and make a fire out of them. On the sand in the playground. The papers didn't burn great, but for about quarter of an hour we had a nice bit of flame going until the last paper was used up, at which point we started cleaning up. We must have the worst luck because that's when the flashlights started dancing across the playground area...

We weren't the only people there, there were three french Belgians with a load of unused firecrackers who'd also been rounded up. The police were clearly trying to pin the burning smell on them so they could arrest them for dangerous fireworks so I told them that they hadn't done **** and that they could smell me and my mate's fire. They weren't happy to let the other guys go so they cuffed me and my mate and took us to the station. The woman escorting me was a real *****; dragging my cuffs unnecessarily harshly and occasionally tightening them for no reason but I was too baked to really say anything. Anyway she had to take them off for the guy escorting my mate to scan my fingerprints into the database. After they did this they let me stand and watch as they started doing my mate's. As I was watching, the woman started a brief convo with me (imagine everything she says in a condescending full-of-herself tone):

"These prints are for the entire Schengen area you know"

"Huh?"

"Do you know what Schengen is? It means that these details will be available in all of the Schengen area - that means GREAT BRITAIN, IRELAND..."

"Great Britain isn't part of Schengen"

"What?"

"Well you see Britain hasn't yet joined the Schengen agreement, so you still need a passport to travel between here and there"

Apparently police don't like being taught politics by potheads since this was the point at which she recuffed me and made me stand facing the wall. We were then taken to a different station where they slowly went through our stuff, inventorising it and asking me a few questions about the functioning of my grinder (since paraphernalia and up to 3g of Dope is legal, they couldn't do anything to me for having this grinder so I was more than happy to teach them about the point of collecting the crystals in the bottom and was a bit shocked at how little they actually knew).

After this they took us one at a time to a separate room where we had to go bottom-half naked and do backward-facing squats in front of this guy. We had a good laugh about that in the cell afterwards as we waited to give statements.

After a looong time sitting and waiting, a new officer with a more fancy uniform and glasses came and took me through to give my statement. I told him about the newspaper fire and he asked something about burning wood which confused me so I told him we'd made it on sand. The other officer in the room then jumped in saying "well yes, it was on the sand, but it was only 20cm away from the wood of the playground toys" at which point I called ******** and he produced a digital camera. The head honcho guy with the glasses took one look at the picture looked at the dude and effectively said "are you serious? It's a good thing the charges haven't been processed..." We finished the statements (of which I kept a copy as a souvenir) then they promptly told us to have our next fire elsewhere and let us go without any mention of a fine (and as of yet they haven't contacted the parents of my mate who's 17 either, so we don't seem to have any charges).

The stuck up dude with the camera caught up to us on our way out and told us to go clean up the fire and that he'd check. We did so seeing how we were gonna do it anyway - I mean little kids don't want to play in our ashes after all - and left a pair of little kid's underwear (which we found upon returning to the playground) to mark the scene for him."

Does this sound "harmless" to you?
