To those of you Gentle Readers who are not well-versed in Cheech and Chong movies, today is April 20th.
i.e. 4-20.
And 4:20 is a universal code term for the smoking of marijuana dating back to some California teenagers who used to meet for that purpose when their classes ended at 4:20 p.m.
Here in the United States, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York today plans to introduce a bill to decriminalize marijuana on the federal level.
There are some negatives about the use of "weed".
But despite it's popularity, some people still stick to old favorites.
And some of those deleterious effects mentioned above may not be the result of your particular taste in "moral decay".
So I'll leave you to your choices for romping riotously through a ribald weekend but remember . . . always keep laughing.
Here, kitty-kitty . . .
And what a cute burglar!
ReplyDeleteApropo marijuana. A famous chef in our parts was, like many other chefs overweight. Gradually, people noticed he became slim. He 'blamed" that on his gym intensive work, but for some reason I didn't buy that. I was right.
ReplyDeleteA marijuana dealer was arrested (it is still illegal except for medical reasons), and he 'blew the whisle' on his clients, among them ...the chef.
Hmmm.....weed usually causes the munchies, not suppresses the appetite.....some other illegal things do the opposite.
DeleteThanks for the Friday giggles! Weed becomes legal in Canada this summer!
ReplyDeleteThat cookie-dough restraint lady must have a will of iron.
ReplyDeleteI must have led a sheltered life. I'd never heard about that 4/20 thing.
ReplyDeleteIs that what "420" comes from?! I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteThe term '420' has nearly as many explanations as it's name. Best I've heard is it came from a high school in marin co., ca, 'mt. tamalpais high', for the time a bunch of stoners met and got buzzed at 4:20 pm. Reason I think it's 'best' is because the rumor is that one of the Grateful Dead guys, Weir maybe?, went to Mt. Tam at that time.
ReplyDeleteClose but no cigar.
DeleteOr should I say "no doobie"?
Deletethose "growing old" jokes made me laugh. After spending four hours in the car riding to California, when I stopped to get gas, I could hardly walk. Everything is getting a bit creaky.
