For millions of Americans, using cannabis has become normalized. And, due to some stoner kids in the 70’s, the number “420” has become a reference to smoking cannabis. Which means that today - April 20th - has become the unofficial weed smokers’ holiday. The dispensaries are packed, and lots and lots of people will spark up when their local time hits 20 minutes past the 4 o’clock hour. As for me? I’m an addict (I know it’s not supposed to be addictive, but it is for me), but I’m working real hard to cut down and eventually stop (ideally, it’d be a once a week thing, not all day every day). But today is the holidays! It’s like counting calories on Turkey Day. So I just finished a pre-roll of “Cake Boss” and wanted to wish my fellow tokers (I’m looking at you,@kayaker) well! > [@](#): > > April 20th. The one day of the year when pot smokers smoke pot to celebrate that they smoke pot every other day of the year. ---

After I posted, I was worried I might have offended. I probably shouldn’t post high when I’m down to only an occasional joint every few days. My tolerance is definitely lower, making the effect more enhanced. I was going to skip today, but it seemed such a shame to be so sacrilegious. ---

Hello, I’m looking to re-join the ranks in my long overdue trip to Missouri next month. By the time 4.20.24 rolls around legal weed should be easily available here in Maryland. ---

I don’t partake more than occasional edibles myself (the one time I tried smoking it, I had the WORST headache), but I’m surrounded by lots of friends that do. So from them and me, Happy 4/20! ---

One of my co-workers said that there were going to be free brownies in the break room today. I checked twice before I realized he was making a 4/20 joke. 🤦‍♂️ ---

I think I’d check twice before _eating_ any brownies found in any breakrooms today. ---

I like to grow my own. Am allowed 4 plants here in Oregon but last year only one was a success. I still have 2 large Zip-Lock gallon bags left after giving a bunch away. Nice, big, buds the size of half dollars. Afgani seed, supposed to be a land race strain. I think there is something that I need to check out in the garage, get back to you. Or I may be on the couch for the rest of the day. ---

I was driving Doordash and Uber Eats today, it’s pissing down rain and super duper pleasant out so I kept trying to get a run going out by my favorite dispensary to stock up on my annual load of oil carts–half off for the holiday, w00t! Kept getting sidetracked by food orders, weird, huh? Who’d’a thunk it? Finally had to shut the apps down to go get stocked up and now I’m home withh a nice fresh cart of Pink Pixie and a nice reassuring set of little boxes waiting their turn in the vape. Aside from that, I also have some lovely flower of a super purple strain that’s all loaded into the flower vape and I’m gonna proceed to get megatoasted right about…now. Yeah. Oh, and took a Starbucks order over to a very busy dispensary and got a $4.20 tip, noice. ---

A friend just texted me to point out that Major League Baseball has a pretty light schedule tonight, as if they’re acknowledging the holiday, too. Is this a concession to the players’ habits?

We drove by a dispensary today around 1:30 and were very entertained by the full parking lot, cars circling like buzzards and the line of old farts wrapping around the building. Hubs commented that it looked like Free Senior Day at Golden Corral. I fired up and waved as we went by 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/it-s-4-20-happy-holidays/982977.md?page=2)
