Damn it you stole my post. Clearly someone is pretending they will be celebrating it. lol

[krimson]

[Lyle]

I'm confused. Please enlighten me. :confused:Apparently today is the unofficial holiday (http://www.dailyorange.com/news/2004/04/20/Feature/Smokers.Celebrate.Joys.Of.Marijuana.On.Drugs.Unofficial.Holiday-665472.shtml) for pot smokers.

what is this talk of 'unofficial' . . . man back when i. . . er i mean my friends were in highschool this was a pretty darn official holiday. 4/20 @ 4:20. . . you better watch out. those were some good times. . . for my friends, cause thats what they told me.

[blueflame]

Acording to that artice, i am "a joke"... I thought that was pretty funny.
I think ill laugh
HAHAHAHAA
whew! your right, that was funny!

[Doctor Q]

I have two friends who have birthdays today, and I celebrated with each of them. No illegal activities were involved, but I won't say anything about fattening activities. ;)

[Krizoitz]

Yes what an auspicious day....

On April 20, 1889 Adolf Hitler was born.

On April 20, 1999 Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot 13 people and wounded 21 others at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO.

And instead you celebrate pot smoking

so instead we should celebrate hitler and the killing of children and teachers?

i'd rather smoke pot... although hitler was quite the artist. ;)


peace.

[musicpyrite]

I know, I don't see what's happy about this day at all, it's rather quite sad.

Yes, he was quite the artist, and he did some amazing things. (By that, I do NOT mean the killing of millions of innocent men, women, and children.)

He did do atleast one good thing: the Autoban (or is it Autobon?)

[RandomDeadHead]

Ahhhh, It's 420 once again! My personal favorite day of the year. My family usually has a cookout tonight, but my wife's father just had to have triple bypass surgery last friday, so we took the party to him today.

Their is nothing like getting kicked out of a hospital for smoking cannabis with your father-in-law.

If you look hard enough, most days of the year have had tragic events occur on them. Should we cancel any holiday that has a corresponding tragedy?

about time for the traditional 4/20 munchies-run... took the afternoon off to celebrate with a friend downtown. was fun. we watched a woodstock documentary...

paul

[coopdog]

I hate chocolate. ;)

[Doctor Q]

we watched a woodstock documentary...I watch the original Woodstock movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066580/) whenever it's on. You can't beat the great interview with the guy who cleans the port-o-potties. (It won an Oscar for Best Documentary, but I don't think that was the specific reason.)

Celebrating Easter or Yom Kippur is slightly different than celebrating the use of an illegal and dangerous substance and the culture that goes along with it.

[applemacdude]

My frind celebrated by smoking some purple..

get a grip. dangerous. if you don't know anything about the topic at hand, it's usually most polite to refrain from speaking.

4/20 or 4:20 have nothing to do with either of the events you mentioned. Some speculated that's why the columbine shooters picked that day, but that theory is usually rejected. There have been many attempts to trace 4:20 back, it's usually attributed to the time of day a certain Dr. Hoffman first tested his newly discovered "LSD".

Today is the school board, and budget elections, maybe that is something to celebrate??????? :confused: :eek: :o :confused:

Yet another victim of our government's rampant shameless misinformation and propaganda campaign. . . :rolleyes: Canada and the UK have taken important steps in the right direction recently; I only wish that people here would open their eyes and minds.

A little four-twenty would have done those bastards some good...

I celebrate to prevent future tragedies!

Funny, but my lunch meeting today offered to celebrate after we ate. been having a great day... :p

[neut]

hahahah :D :p

stoner...

*****
time to celebrate once again today. :) then have some more peach pie. then celebrate again... and have some chips and salsa... then celebrate again... then... go design some cool ****. :D

im hungry. :p

It's sort of hypocritical for this forum to ban profanity yet allow threads celebrating illegal substances. If you can celebrate drugs why not warez eh? Just making a point that perhaps threads like this is not suited for a public forum of this sort.

drugs are perfectly legal in many places, and doing drugs is only a crime when it happens, not in the past. I'll admit it seems rather tasteless to have a "celebration" but really it's kind of a joke, kind of a gag holiday.

it is neither. it is spelled Autobahn (die Autobahn).

So if I'm sitting at my computer, doing nothing illegal and the cops bust in and find 5 kilos of marry jane under my pillow I can't get arrested?


In my opnion, anything that distorts judgment should be illegal, that includes alcohol (but last time alcohol was illegal, well...that wasn't a pretty time in America's history).

Uh, no, I didn't say that. But to simply be intoxicated, or have been intoxicated, on an illicit substance isn't illegal. It's possession that's illegal, though through blood testing it could be argued that possession occurred in the bloodstream. They rarely do this. To put it another way, if you went into a police station, and said "i got really stoned the other day", they can't bust you for it. (tho they could find any number of other things to hold you for, no doubt).

To say that we should take away an able-minded person's ability to choose what goes in their body is a fairly authoritarian (communist) point of view. Where in the constitution does it say that the government is responsible for babysitting it's citizens? Should we ban foods that are bad for us? Shall we ban books that are disrupting to the mind?

You're right, the alcohol prohibition was a terrible time. Alcohol use among many groups increased dramatically, and an entire organized crime syndicate erupted that irreversibly altered the face of America. People were jailed and prosecuted for simply drinking socially, a tradition thousands of years old. Jesus drank, for christ's sake (hehe). It kind of reminds me of something... hmm... oh yeah, the drug prohibition. Since drugs were made illegal, use has skyrocketed exponentially. An entire crime syndicate, dwarfing the mafia, has taken over much of the world. Dangerous people find profit in this kind of industry, and the drug war has come down to shootings on our city streets. If drugs were decriminalized, companies could competitively sell them, eliminating the entire drug market and stripping away the underpinnings of many other black markets. The drugs would be safer, regulated, and without contaminates; and unsafe drug use would decrease, helping prevent the spread of blood-borne disease. That's not to mention the prison overcrowding by nonviolent drug users, resulting in rapists and murders being turned out way too early.

To better explain my position, I've created a chart. Charts are helpful, and they're pretty. Everyone likes charts.

Chart: Time period had black-market, illegal production, organized crime?
Pre prohibition____During prohibition____After prohibition
_______No______________Yes______________No____ <- Alcohol

_______No______________Yes______________??____ <- Drug



You fill in the blank.

The drug prohibition, it's a great thing, we need more things like it :rolleyes:

Everyone @ school was high today. Brownies! The teachers didn't know why everyone was eating them today.

Hilarious. Getting high at school. This reminds me of my middle school days when everyone brought Everclear in visene eyedrop bottles and got hammered at school. But hey, too young to drive so taking the bus home was safe!

[MrMacMan]

it is neither. it is spelled Autobahn (die Autobahn).
Yet more obvious -- He's Stoned!

It doesn't matter!


Suprisingly 4/20 was the ONLY day my school wasn't stoned.


Seriously all of the students that go off the premise to smoke were in class doing work.

I was Shocked!

[musicpyrite]

Thank you for explaning that to me paul. So next time I'll make sure to get stoned BEFORE I walk into a police station. :D

...and I wondered why I kept getting arrested all those times. :rolleyes:

[blueflame]

Happy end of 420!!!!
have fun budz!
Peace!

[Awimoway]

Ah but you are doing something illegal—possession is a crime, and you would be in the act of possessing. So make sure they can't find it. ;)

I could tell you on the forums about the times I made illegal downloads. But you don't know if I've already paid for my crime. Or if I've deleted all the files (actually, I have). We just can't coordinate doing it in the future. I suppose if we were to discuss picking a time to smoke up together, that would be inappropriate. I remember once having a private discussion about specifically planning to break a certain little misdemeanor relevant to this thread because I know it wouldn't be appropriate (or wise) to do so publicly.

[jelloshotsrule]

i personally don't care if you want to smoke pot, but isn't it kind of sad to go searching for dumb numbers to give you an excuse to do it?

it's like, if you want to get high, just do it. who cares about the date or time or whatever... seems like that takes too much time. perhaps a life needs to be gotten..

but wait
its a bigger thing
think of it 4/20
millions of people all over the world together in spirit
in communion with the herb, the earth, and each other, together
its an earth hug type of thing
you know
people all over the world, around the world
together
you know its like if everyone was to smile at just ten people a day
the world would be a better place becaues people affect other people
only with 4/20 its not smiling its smoking
and so people smoke and feel good
and then because they feel good they make other people feel good
and it keeps growing
I don't know
I guess Im just saying 4/20 is like a love spiral
a way to change the worlds attitude

[Nny]

Darn, I missed it... I was... uh... in my garden... picking weeds.... huh-huh

whatever you want to tell yourself

i don't need to smoke pot to smile at people

but, that's just me

[krimson]

it's the same as doing shots or chugging beer to "fit in" and "have fun", or "lose inhibitions"... :)

whatever floats your canoe... just dont drive afterwards.

smoking pot is nothing like drinking. no matter what anybody tells you.

4-20 sucked... too bad. at least i had the mungo madness. :D


peace.

*420 is about being different, thinking different, and embraces all that do. it's what earth day should be... go plant a plant. ;)

I was trying to point out that certain "stereotypes" should be applied to drinkers as well.

[Lyle]

why did this get moved to the political forum?Was wondering the same thing. It seemed like it had pretty much run its course, especially since the holiday is now two days past. ;)

Edit: Whoops, actually it's only one day past. I was close.

[krimson]

2 days?? :eek:
i was celebrating with the kief, so i must have slept for an entire day... :D

[neut]

oh yeah! lets apply some more stereo types... like, all brown people are terrorists, all black people are on welfare, all whites are assholes. :D

and people are wondering why this in the political forum? ;)


btw- dude, you got to share man! no teasing... got yourself a kief haven?


peace.

no... im saying that when a fun thread starts to introduce partisan social and economic issues (legalization, prohibition, etc.) it always winds up in the political forums. :)
