4/20

There are so many different things I could talk about here, but you know what, we're not going to talk about any of them. Instead I am merely going to point out that you don't see alcoholics having a holiday solely to celebrate drinking alcohol. No, St. Patrick's Day isn't that, and while there is Catholicism, you can't have it. I would think the repealing of Prohibition would be Alcohol Day. But nobody really treats it that way. Probably cause you were all too hungover in history class to care.

The truth is, alcoholics have always been seedier than potheads, no pun intended. What are alcoholics known for? Temper tantrums, violence, pissing themselves, killing people with cars. Potheads? Sterility, memory loss, not leaving their house, and eating awesome food. Sometimes job loss, I've worked with those guys. Sure, weed can make an already unreliable and lazy person more so. And like any mood altering drug, people will abuse it to escape their drab or overwhelming lives, if they are the type of people to do that. But lots of you are perfectly responsible, pleasant occasional users that I'm more than happy to call friends. I don't usually continue to call alcoholics friends, though I may still keep fucking them. Kudos to reasonable people everywhere.

I guess my point here is that if you want me to respect alcohol as much as weed, then don't let the POTHEADS be more organized than you.

My favorite 4/20 tweets from the day:

  2. I forget who it was but someone tweeted that all the best snacks were sold out of the convience stores and was it a holiday or something? Ok, I totally told that in a way that ruined the funny, but you get my drift.

    I had the Special Ed teachers ("The Specials") in the library yesterday for collaboration, and we all wished each other a happy 420 while simoltaneously pretending none of us knew what that was.

  3. I was in Boston earlier this week for my first vacation in three years and the local pothead contingent organized a 'legalize it' protest at the Civil Rights Memorial on the Common.

    I wonder what Peter Tosh would think.

  4. 1) I love that you guys call yourselves the Specials. That's amazing.

    2)Did I ever tell you guys I hate reggae? No, it's true, I can't stand it. I think there's something about it that causes a chemical repulsion in my brain.

    3) I really really want some chocolate.

  6. Yeah no, you're definitely not the only person I know who doesn't do it, the majority don't I think maybe I haven't done any polling, but you are the only person I know who actively dislikes it and preaches against it.
