but today is 420 in the weed world. and living in the
vancouver area it's like fucking
christmas. and
santa comes in the form of a fat jolly man wearing tie dye and a floppy green pot-leafed suess hat who throws joints into the crowd. they don't call it
vansterdam for
nuttin! 5000+ people gather at the
vancouver art gallery for a smoke-in supporting legalization. i went once over 13 years ago. it was a lot smaller then but there were people from ALL walks of life..students,doctors,musicians,
politicians,clergy,gay,straight they were all very stoned and all very happy...
lol. it was a complete fucking love fest of
mary jane and their right to enjoy it just like their
canadian brothers..the beer drinker.
i remember it to be a really great experience and empowering as a
canadian to just
exercise my right to do this in a safe and somewhat legal
enviroment. sure we was smoking the gang but we were demonstrating. and being very civil about it. cops were everywhere just standing around..some closer than others hahaaha. no one plays the hero..they just stand and smirk knowing this is going to be the easiest couple of hours on the job that year.
i won't be
down there today..it's huge and crazy in a no parking kinda way and
i've done my part already,
i'll leave to
youngen's to do theirs.
the funniest thing? this year it coincides with the Sun run in
vancouver, a marathon throughout the city usually about 55 000 people. so picture those two groups merging...i bet those finish times are going to go down a wee bit this year.
god help you 7/11 employee.
if you're interested..here's last year. around 2:30 is for you intellectual folk.

oh and remember...weed is like a spice,use a bit here and there but you wouldn't want it on everything.
