[rainman::|:|]

If only i were at home at 4:20 this afternoon, but no, this year I'll have to celebrate an hour late.

My nickname has 4:20 in it. hehe.

Don't think of it as an hour late, think of it as celebrating in a different time zone.

[skunk]

Excuse my ignorance, but WTF? What happened on or at 4:20? :confused:

your name is "skunk" yet you don't know? :eek:




:p

[skunk]

OK, so I've googled it! :D

It doesn't seem to have travelled across the pond...

[Wes]

Somebody came to school today so obviously stoned. Miracle he wasn't expelled, that's what I would have done if I were the dean. There's a time and a place...

[skunk]

Planet Earth, anytime... :D

Don't feel too bad...I didn't know this one either. Of course, I don't exactly light trees full of dutch.

[mischief]

Up in BC it's all about quality... Cuz it's all indoor Kush and damnear everyone grows so only a few people actually buy the stuff.... consequently Quality of high was key.

I come down here to SC Ca. and it's about how much you can smoke, not how clean the high is or how well it lets you function.

I could only take so many years of partying with binge smokers.

I've now been clean exactly a year. I plan on staying this way. I can still appreciate the smell of good fresh stash and tell you from the scent, colour, diameter of Cola, sparkliness and texture as much as any somallier can tell you about a given wine from the scent, colour and "legs".

I just have too much to do these days to be lit all the time. For those of you who have no responsibilities: Have fun today and stay safe. I watched a good friend of mine cough himself unconscious on 420 a couple of years ago and have watched the same friend smoke enough to screw up his lungs pretty bad. Moderation in all things... Even Moderation... ;)

Didn't you used to be someone else? Did you change your name like the pope does? Does this mean you're the pope of the cult of mac?

Boy. Can you say "moxie celebrate 4.20 early"

hehe

[apple2991]

There's a time and a place...

Yeah, he hurt a lot of people.

Oh. Wait.

[Moxiemike]

Yeah, he hurt a lot of people.

Oh. Wait.


hehe. who knows. i mean, he's obviously a problem. coming to school all stoned is bad. but just SMOKING means you're not patriotic, don't support family values, probably are a closet member of al qaeda supporting terrorism, don't believe in jesus and that means you're a bad christian and lastly, probably one of those troublemaking goth kids who's gonna run over a little girl at a wendy's drive through soon enough.....

this was a PSA brought to by the untied state of america.

[rainman::|:|]

wooo! i'm the pope of something!

moxie, don't you remember paulwhannel? ;)

Mischief, I hear you, the stuff around here is so poor it's all about chiefing quantity... my lungs can't take it, and it's too much effort, every day i get closer to quitting, i can feel it. but that won't happen for another year or three! so party on, wayne... and party on garth

(that's the second wayne's world reference i've made in the past day, how sad is that)

(yes, i'm kind of goofy right now, and I'm kind of at work right now, so i guess that makes me a Bad Employee!)

You know, that reefer does horrid things to one's short term. But seriously, how could i forget!? hah

but i thought, in honor of Benedict XVI you changed your screen name. ;)

and then let you younger sibbling drown in a pool because you were out getting stoned (which is totaly arbitrary and doesn't make any sense at all)

[wordmunger]

When I was in college, we called it "Nancy Reagan Day." I can't remember if it was April 20th, though. Sounds about right.

Out your way it's more hemp than Ganja. Up in BC it's Hash with roots. :p :D

[zelmo]

cake for the kids, brownies for the adults? ;) ;)

Naw, man. It's been years. And besides, now that the company I work for has been acquired by a publicly traded comglomerate that has a strict "zero tolerance" policy, it's not worth the risk anyway.

Mmmmm...brownies. :p

Yeah. I feel that...

Since my son was born last year I've decided that getting serious involves finding a recession-proof career I can feel good about for the 30 years it'll take for the kid to get stable on his own. After some looking around it became clear that only the emergency-response field held to those parameters as well as paying enough to support a family i this outrageously expensive place.

This meant cutting my hair shorter than shoulder length for the first time in ten years; quitting the Ganja after a lifetime of emmersion and ten years of active smoking; and finally shaving off my beard after four years. I've gone back to school, I'm close to finishing my EMT cert and I feel better about myself than I ever have.

For any of you that are worried about getting married and having kids: There is no better motivator in the world than being truly responsible for other lives. This can be seen in my choice of career changes too... I really like having a purpose...

:cool:

[Norouzi]

Wow I almost didn't realise what day it was. He he, can't imagine how that happened. Too bad I'll still be at work at 4:20 today, but I guess I'll just have to start a little later, or maybe a little earlier I do have a lunch hour.

Smoke Weed Every Day!! :D :cool:

That, my friend, is exactly what lunch hours are for :) I just got back...

As newly elected (1 yea, 0 nay) pope of the cult of mac, i must insist on an honoring from each of the stoners here... just private message me...

gotta go, boss is coming!

[skunk]

I just hope you're better than the last one. Abbemus Papam indeed! :cool:

Admit it, you're only in it for the outfit...

[Doctor Q]

Too bad I'll still be at work at 4:20 today...We're having our traditional 4-20 party right here at the office!

The reason for the party, however, is that two employees here have birthdays today. But any excuse to party is a good excuse!

[joecool85]

Like this isn't going into the wasteland lol. Am I the only one here that doesn't/never has smoke(d) weed?

[Jaffa Cake]

It doesn't seem to have travelled across the pond...No, it's a new one on me too. Maybe we've just led sheltered lives? ;)

[Awimoway]

Happy 4/20 everyone.

[MacNut]

Drugs are bad mmmkay. :p

[link92]

Can anyone explain it to those of us accross the pond?

[rainman::|:|]

Can anyone explain it to those of us accross the pond?

Depending on your source, it got started many ways, but the most widely spread is this: On April 19 1943, at 4:20, Albert Hofman took the first intentional dose of LSD, thereby kicking off the hallucinogenic revolution (marijuana is a hallucinogen). Some anti-drug zealots claim stoners do it to honor hitler, who's birthday is 4/20, but i'm afraid that's just not true. i've yet to meet a stoner neonazi or vice-versa.

[Chubypig]

Never have, never will. Have fun everyone else...

Snagged from a webpage elsewhere... thought I'd
share since I've seen much talk/debate over the
expression and it's possible roots. Fun story
about the Waldos...

- - - - - -

420 is used for marijuana, because 4:20 is international smoking time.

It is termed "international" but I only think it is well-known in the United States. At 4:20 p.m., (or a.m.) most stoners in the US make it a point to smoke. Many radio stations in the US will remind people that it is 4:20 and theyll say something like "burn em if ya got em". Also, April 20 (4/20) is International Smoking Day, when most stoners make it a point to smoke all day long (although for some people, 4/20 is every day)

According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smokers who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. And it has spread all over the country to the present day.

A quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, "We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420."

"Chalice haffe burn ... herb cyan done."

[Norouzi]

I found this (http://www.concept420.com/what-is-420.htm) as well thought it was interesting. I was always told that 420 came from a police code, apparently I was wong.

[Wyvernspirit]

I have not smoked (anything) and most likely won't in my lifetime (I guess not in my death either, but who knows? ;) ).

I, however, don't have a problem with anyone else doing so... As long as it doesn't affect others that don't want to be affected.

[quackattack]

Wow, this snuck up on me this year. I didn't even realize until I found the tread. I better go find a way to celebrate ;) Happy 4/20 everyone!

[applekid]

I'm just waiting for the first person to type a message while they're high. Whose it going to be? :p

[puckhead193]

happy holiday even though i don't celebrate ;)

[skunk]

I'm just waiting for the first person to type a message while they're high. Whose it going to be? :pYou're way out of date.
:D

[markjones05]

Did i win? We made brownies last night... fantastic

happy 4:20

[SFVCyclone]

WOW, i can't believe some people actually need a time and day to get high :eek:

[rainman::|:|]

I'm just waiting for the first person to type a message while they're high. Whose it going to be? :p

My first time here was a few years ago... I yelled at some people talking about the then-unreleased iMac G4 because I was too high to follow the conversation. There, I finally admitted it, happy everyone? that's why i hate my first post.

and my last time was, well, i guess any posts made earlier this afternoon. work is such a buzzkill.

[MongoTheGeek]

My first thought celebrating Hitler's Birthday. Then Columbine.

A little googling came up with the intended (I hope) meaning.

Snopes has the following to say about the etymology.
http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/420.htm

[FoxyKaye]

I, uh, celebrated early last night. :p

Dave's not here, man...

[Blue Velvet]

My toking days are long over... but have a good one and don't bogart that number.

[homerjward]

i heard all the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20. it'd be interesting if anyone could confirm those rumors. im not a stoner but i'd estimate a good percentage of my school is. didn't hear anything about it at school today although that might because today is the 3rd day of TAKS testing this week.

[rainman::|:|]

most of the clocks in pulp fiction are indeed at 4:20, with a few exceptions. hmm. now i really want to watch it...

[MacAztec]

man i would say 1/4 of all kids in each of my classes today were baked. it is a big thing down here in so cal.

weird tho, at my school, i guess there was a rumor going around that there was going to be a shooting today (4/20). we had about 10 cops around the campus all day, nothing ever happened though.

a lot of the kids that wanted to go blaze just told our principal that they felt uncomfortable being at school with the shooting rumors going around, so he let them leave. haha

[krimson]

I was going to post earlier, but i got... sidetracked. :rolleyes:

still 4/20 here, so happy 4two0 to all who partake, and uhh...
happy (insert something of your choosing here) to those who don't.

mischief, i know what you mean as well, but i figured out that aging it for a month or 6 weeks improves it much. im right behind ya, i've cut down quite a bit, for my own good of course. though i'll always have a weak spot for a good brownie with vanilla ice cream on top. *drool*

and now... since weed is a gateway drug, ill be using it as a gateway to the pantry.

[revenuee]

i always thought 420 was the police code as well ... lots of different origin stories out there though --

i didn't smoke up today, i find to really enjoy it i have to be drunk already or else i get really depressed, and anxious. i don't do it a lot though, i got into some harder stuff for a while ... now i just stick to beer/scotch


meh ... happy 4.20 to those that are still in the day, guess that only really leaves the coast now.

[sorryiwasdreami]

Like this isn't going into the wasteland lol. Am I the only one here that doesn't/never has smoke(d) weed?

One of the few. "Here" as in this particular thread, not all of MR.

[killuminati]

man i would say 1/4 of all kids in each of my classes today were baked. it is a big thing down here in so cal.

HA-HA-HA, you think its big in cali? Up in BC, its about as big on any normal day than it is on 4/20 for you guys. SO today everyone blazed at lunch. Hell I think my english teacher also blazed.

Well thats BC, our biggest industry :p


EDIT: I like how all the goooooogle ads are selling pot :p

[mcadam]

Yeah. I feel that...

Since my son was born last year I've decided that getting serious involves finding a recession-proof career I can feel good about for the 30 years it'll take for the kid to get stable on his own.

:cool:


Very comforting to hear :)
I also cut my hair the shortest ever and cut down heavily on my smoking the past year. But I still don't have anything besides my own bellybutton to motivate me and it seem to be not really enough for me.
I sometimes feel that with the amount of serious work I produce every day I might as well get high all the time... on my lovely, cheap, mild and tasty pot from Djursland (the Bordeaux of Danish weed) - but I know it wouldn't improve anything. So I save it for the weekend. And it's friday tomorrow ;)

[Raid]

Um not that I ...uh...partake in any such activities :cool: I did notice last night that 4/20 was celebrated by a few TV stations. One showed the Woody Harrelson's documentary "Grass", and Half-Baked was on Toronto's City-Tv last night...

[Lacero]

Somebody came to school today so obviously stoned. Miracle he wasn't expelled, that's what I would have done if I were the dean. There's a time and a place...I was entering my school through the gymnasium during professional day (school break for students) and I could smell pot emanating from the group of teachers in the gym. I think differently of teachers that day. They are just potheads! Hehe. Well, Wes, I totally understand why some students don't get expelled, but in my school, getting high on pot was really not a big issue. It was really rare. Just as rare as lookin in the rear-view mirror as I drive past you baby! Take care.

[jayscheuerle]

My little guy celebrates his 4th birthday today...with cake, not cannibus :rolleyes:

Your penis eats cake?

[markjones05]

Your penis eats cake?

hahaha, that one had me laughin for a minute... good stuff

[mkrishnan]

Your penis eats cake?

*Tries to figure out how many layers of entendre are in that one*

:D

[krimson]

still celebrating. :rolleyes:

[skunk]

Never stopped.

[dotdotdot]

Your penis eats cake?

And hes four years old???

---

No one in my school was stoned today... or ever. they are all losers who say they do stuff but don't... I don't say I do stuff and I don't anyway...

But there were 2 fire alarms pulled and four police cars at the High School section of the school...

Kids were in HIGH school - get it???

Oh, happy not 4/20

[Awimoway]

Kids were in HIGH school - get it???


Not far from where I live is a growing town named Phelan, pronounced "Feelin.'" Sadly, when the town got its own high school a few years ago, they didn't have the guts to name it "Phelan High."
