i have a feeling this thread will get many angry but hear me out. its just a date on the calendar. i admit when i was somewhat yonger it used to be a big deal but now i dont think much of it. iam a daily smoker and i find lately i smoke no more, no less on 4/20 than any other day. if you want a day to celebrate weed hit up hemp fest which is always a good time. sorry if i offended anyone, but i just wanted to see if theres anyone that agrees.

sort of, but not entirely...

i don't care about it as much as other people do, but i still do care about the day...

Anyway, isn't the 21st supposed to be Earth Day? Everyone get baked and go hug a tree.

It's not just a day on a calender, it's a celebration of cannabis. Make of it what you will.

Yeah, when I was younger it was definitely more fun. Now though, at least for me and everyone I know, it's just another reason to party.

4-20 is whatever you want to be. Theres people do absolutly nothing but smoke all day long. And like me I go about my normal day but am sure to be blazed the whole time. To some people its the closest thing to a religous holliday they got. So its whatever you make of it. If your not totally down with 4-20 Im still down with you. No worries.

LOL, not really I guess. As long as it's one of the seven days of the week is reason enough for me, but I guess it's a day to go a bit overboard. Plus I hardly smoke, but I will on Friday.

Christmas is pointless to. We can celebrate whatever we want, there doesn't have to be a reason.. I like the idea of 4/20, so when the day comes, don't ruin my buzz :D

This is how i see it - ok so it's not like Christmas - or Easter - but it's an international celebration of weed - and it's important. It's our day - our day to be proud [although we should be proud everyday]

Get stoned - enjoy it.

It is the 22nd. But most of the Earth Day events are on Saturday the 21st.


To be honest, I think everyday should be celebrated like a holiday.

I have completely quit celebrating every holiday except my daughters and wifes birthday. No christmas, no easter, no thanksgiving....no nothing. Cause I am not going to celebrate just cause everybody else does. I give gifts when I want. All holidays are stupid really.

My favorites are the people that have no religion and do not believe in God and they celebrate chistmas and easter. WTF! I just cant be a sheep to the masses.

although you maybe a daily smoker many people aren'y 4/20 is a day for them to blaze it up big time,trying new methods, on friuiday there will be people eating weed for the first time, smoking a blunt maybe even buying a bong. Its everyones day to smoke.

Youve got guts to start this thread, but it has just made me think how kl 4/20 is gonna be

We all get put down by some people somewhere along the line - just because we smoke a plant - and 420 to me, is our day together to stand up and tell everyone to go and fuck right off, and leave us to enjoy ourselves safely.

It doesn't mean you're a sheep to the masses.
I don't believe in a Christian god, I haven't since I was 9, but I still celebrate Christmas. And this year I celebrated Easter.
Why?
Not because I thought "you know, geez, i want to be like everybody else".
Because it's fun to go all out and celebrate something.
Why shouldn't I?
Like you said, it's just another day, so why can't a pick an occasional day to act like a kid (dying eater eggs for the first time was very enjoyable).
Or enjoy the pretty lights on the tree.
Or get stoned off my ass.


The purpose of any holiday is only to enjoy the day, which is exactly what I do.

Thats why you dont over do it. If you dnt over do it the first time then you wouldnt be in this state of mind. This day is supposed to be special, but you've made it like any other day because you've done it so much everyday already.
I think doing it all day and everyday defeats the whole purpose of 420.
For me i've eally cut down on my smoking because its was getting in my way. Im glad i did it because now i can fully appreciate and celebrate 420.

420 is a day to get up and smoke for cannabis is a right and they can't take that away from us.

besides you don't have to celebrate it, college kids everywhere do enough for everyone.

I don't get the negativity here.

Why wouldn't you want to celerbrate something?

I love getting balloons and making cakes and shit for people's birthdays.
I love shopping for people on xmas and chanukah. (Yeah, I do both. My dad's a christian, my mom's a jew.)
I love hiding easter eggs for the little ones.
I love pinching on st.patricks day (and getting drunk with family/friends).

Why the hell WOULDN'T you want to share your tree, party with friends (some of which you don't party with much), and get completely retarded and SHARE that retardedness with people you love?
I don't know. I'm a daily smoker, I have been for about 4 years, that doesn't mean I don't want to party a little harder then normal with my best of friends. Plus, some people don't smoke that much and do for special occasions; this is one of them. Maybe you've grown out of it, which is a little sad. Why grow out of celerbrating (anything)? That seems like a huge bummer.

my 2cents I guess. Plus, stoned rambling lol.

Who cares what day it is, as long as you're having fun. I'm gonna smoke on 4/20 just like I do every day, except maybe with a larger group of people and much more bud :stoned:

Of course its stupid at surface value it has no meaning beyond being just a number.

But I think the fact that the entire earths cannabis community has come together and organized a day to celebrate our beloved right thats is threatened constantly is a huge step forward for us

That just made me realize that the concept of 420 is similar to hyper reality. Hyperreality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_reality)

Been smoking all my life (in the UK) and never heard much talk about 420. It's only since I've started visiting sites like this that I found out about it. It's certainly not a "worldwide" celebration. In the UK not many people have heard of it, and even fewer give a toss.

Not remotely interested in it, although I'll still get baked, because it's a Friday and I always like to get baked on days that end with a "y".

That's because alot of the smokers in England are silly little children doing it too look cool - they no nothing about it, and dont care or respect it.

Everyone i know that smokes [which, even though i dont see many of them regluarly, is a hell of alot.] knew about 420 before i started talking about it - so maybe it's just in your group of mates.

When Nextinline said in reality the number 420 means nothing, it's just a number. But in hyper reality, 420 represents a cannabis culture. Like the mcdonals M is just an M but represents fast food...

I dunno, i was stoned n thought it made sense at the time.

420 yay! :D

I think all the kids at the school I was subbing for were like 'OMG 420 IS TOMORROW!'

So I slyly got a group together of NON-smokers, and presented them with research on cannabis's healthy properties- prevents atheriosclerosis, pain relief, glaucoma relief, its effects on cancerous glioma cells, ect.

I made conversions of 6 out of 8 people. And even the tokers around listening to me at the hallowed lunch table listened in awe, and I heard cries of "Oh! How wonderful the herb be! I never knew such healthful anointments and properties hath existed in thine herb! Rejoice, fair people of _____ High School, for the herb shall be the bane of all human ails from this day nigh! Go forth, and rid your medicine dispensaries of all ointments, unguents and sundries, and replace them with thine holy Herb!"

Or something like that. But it felt good to educate these young folk, and they do not doubt me, as I am well respected by tokers and non-tokers alike.

It's alot better now im out of the van and smoking. Was a complete joke tonight - left at 6 and got back about 20 past 9.

I dont think i'd be physically able to stay in that seat any longer - im thinking about getting Saab seats to put in- my man has a saab and the seats are the best i've ever sat it. Once you ignore the blood over the headrest it's really comfortable.

Went on msn earlier but ended up getting signed out and now it's telling me it's too busy and to try again later.
