I've only met one adult that doesn't know what 420 is. There's no way the marijuana is 4times as harmful as cigarette smoke. At least half of the chemicals in marijuana are anti-carcinogenic, meaning they reduce the chance of cancer, something that cigarette smoke defintely doesn't do. 420 is not declared as "The Hippie New Year", if you smoke on 4/20 it doesn't make you a hippie. In the movie Pulp Fiction, not all the clocks are set to 4:20, notice that when the kid gets the watch, it's set to 9:00, and stating that "Marijuana smokers familiar with the symbol picked up on it" wouldn't you be implying that you too are a marijuana smoker because only marijuana smokers familiar with the symbol would recognize it right? No one in their right mind uses 420 as a code to speak about marijuana, a lot of people know what 420 stands for, regardless what your article states. What makes you say that 420 has been a sacred symbol for 30years when you don't even know what it symbolizes. You ask the question many times to your readers but never once state what it actually symbolizes. The risks and repercussions of marijuana are simply getting high and doing stupid things, yes your lungs will get a little black if you actually smoke it, but the risk of getting cancer or any diesease from it is very slim. No records show of anyone getting cancer or any kind of diesease from marijuana. There's other ways to consume this "drug" without even the lung factor, i.e. eating and vaporizing. In actuallity, marijuana is a natural medical drug. It helps you sleep better and is a natural pain killer. It also helps control nausea, spasms, depression, migraines, anorexia, anxiety, etc. Marijuana helps the pains and conditions (mental and physical) of multipule things such as cartilage deficiency, multiple sclerosis, chronic Hepatitis C, Lupus, inflamed esophagus, Chrone's disease, fiber mialga, stomach ailment, arthritis, thoracic outlet syndrome, terminal cancer, tourettes, bipolar disease, ovarian cancer, obsessive compulsive disorder, glaucoma, AIDS, etc. THS, one of the main chemicals found in marijuana has been proven to actually shrink tumors, and almost get rid of them. Apparently your whole article was a poorly researched and biased "statement".

First I’m a product of the 70’s. I’ve been around marijuana my entire life and I’d never heard one person mention 4/20 ever.

Actually, marijuana is not a drug. It is an herb. It’s a weed in some parts of the world. Humans call it a drug because they want control of users just like they control alcohol. God made marijuana. Man made alcohol. Man made every other drug abused by anyone today. Did you know that the most abused drug in the world today is....drum roll please....over the counter pain pills. Advil. Tylenol. Asprin. Drugs are made in a petri dish using herbs and chemicals and who knows what else. I can understand why they call them illegal. But why anyone would ever think mari is a bad thing obviously hasn’t ever spent any time with her. She opens eyes. She sees truth. She enlightens the soul. She helps us forget the bad and remember the good.

I agree with you. It should be legal. (all drugs should be legal for that matter. At least then no one would be killing someone for their shoes to get any...but that’s another discussion.) It causes less damage and/or deaths than alcohol. No one ever sees news reports about kids killing someone for their shoes so they can go buy mari. But you hear every single day how someone died because someone else needed their shoes or money to go buy adictive drugs. Can you find a study that says how many drivers died because they were smoking pot? But I bet it takes less than a second on any search engine to find out how many people died because they were drinking or snorting or shooting up and driving. Just my two cents.
