🍃 Happy 4/20: The Day We Celebrate an Unofficial Holiday for Highly Motivated Couch Potatoes! 🌿
Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round! Dust off your lava lamps and find your nearest stash (of snacks), because it’s that time of year again—welcome to the magical realm of 4/20, where the only thing higher than the clouds is… well, you know. If you’ve been living under a rock or, let’s be honest, in your mom’s basement, allow me to drop some knowledge because clearly, someone forgot to pass the bong.
Once upon a time—in a land not so far away called California in 1971—there lived a disreputable gang of teenage mischief-makers known as “the Waldos.” Now don’t get too excited; they weren’t curing cancer or launching rockets; they were busy perfecting the art of procrastination while hanging out by a wall outside San Rafael High School. Talk about groundbreaking!
At exactly 4:20 PM each day, these future philosophical icons would rendezvous by the statue of Louis Pasteur (yes, the guy who discovered pasteurization, because nothing screams "genius" like getting high next to a monument dedicated to milk). Their brilliant plan? To spark up a joint of the finest green goodies this side of the Great Wall of Weed. They’d casually whisper “420 Louis” in the hallways—not that anyone would notice when they’re busy contemplating the mysteries of Cheetos flavors and the questionable existence of socks.
Fast forward to today, and 4/20 has become a holiday! 🎉 Shocker, right? It’s like the Christmas of cannabis culture, except instead of jingle bells, you hear people yelling “Blaze it!” as if that somehow cancels out the shame of their life choices. The only gift? A butt-load of memes about how "high" they can get without actually mobilizing the part of their brain responsible for function.
Let’s talk about some of the origin stories because, as it turns out, the “high” folks thought the number might relate to a police code for marijuana possession (cue the comedic gasp), or it could have been inspired by adding the title of Bob Dylan’s song, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (popularly known as “Songs of Ultimate Indecision”). This same principle fuels much of stoner culture: “I forget what I just said, but let’s make it deep!”
For those not in the know, 4/20 has evolved into an annual celebration where everyone—not just those with a PhD in bathroom behavior—claims to be a stoner, regardless of whether they can correctly name the five food groups of munchies. Social media blooms with memes that make you snicker harder than a kid who just discovered the “Fart” button on his new talking robot.
So here’s to you, fellow participants of the Great Green Celebration! May your day be filled with laughter, snacks, and impossible life revelations about how you swear you saw a unicorn at the taco truck last week. Let’s keep the spirit alive until the day that we all come together to agree that 4:20 should not just be a time—it should be a way of life! Or at least a solid excuse for why you didn’t show up to work on April 21st.
Join in the fun, educate your friends, celebrate the Waldos, and remember: if the clock strikes 4:20 and you’re sober… it’s time to reevaluate your life choices. Now go forth and spread the word (or is that just the smoke?). Happy 4/20, you glorious, glorious humans! 🌱🥳
