Its a festivity most widely celebrated in America by the drug culture to honor the consumption of cannabis ... I'm going to a gathering that occurs locally to see a show, and probably won't find my way home until the weekend has been cached and spent, to be honest. But if your goal in firing up a 4/20 discussion is to start some stupid **** with stoners who yield their status, I'd advise you to give it up quick. Don't hate.
And who's the fool who wears the crown?

thank you for speaking my opinion at the same time, whats wrong with celebrating the use of a drug that is less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco combined and has generally been a huge influence in worldwide culture... without pot you might as well throw out all those great albums you have because they probably wouldn't exist

Great points, both of you!
The so called "war on drugs" was lost many years ago.....yet there's still billions of dollars dumped into a lost cause every year. I'm reefering....er.....refering to marijuana specifically, btw. Decriminalization of said drug may well be the answer, as it would probably foster some measure of disinterest, and think of the money that would be saved that could be directed at much more pressing matters that never seem to get fixed or properly focused on(healthcare, education, etc.).
One of the biggest parts of the problem lies in the fact that it's "forbidden".....and we humans certainly find much intrigue in all things taboo! By comparison, alcohol and it's consumption is undoubtedly more deadly on a variety of obvious levels. I don't recall ever hearing of someone sparking up and smoking themselves into the mindset of "beating the crap out of someone".....

Yes. A valid point. A bit of pot-smoking doesn`t turn town centres into "no-go" areas, the way binge-drinking can.
