Last time I was there, you could see the results. Transients, bums and pot heads all over the place especially at the bus depot. Red eyed, lazy and anti-social.

Could just as well describe the Democrat Convention..............

I never knew that. I knew he offed himself in April, but didn’t know he was loosed on the world in the same month.

Just imagine how different history would be if Hitler had smoked pot, though...

Why is 420 the number associated with marijuana? Does anyone know?

“Pot usage has surged in Bangor, Portland and Augusta and the police have had their hands full.”

This is bogus information. Pot use has not surged in any of these three cities. For one although use in private became legal in January, rules for legal sales have not been established by the state or locally. Both Portland and Bangor have moratorium on licensing establishments for sale or use. Portland is going to renew theirs next week for another six months.

Did you ever see the German movie “Der Untergang” (”Downfall” in English), about Hitler’s final days? It began with his last birthday, on April 20, 1945, and ended with the surrender of Berlin to the Soviets on May 2. Hitler killed himself before it was over, on April 30.

Slight coincidence.

1/12 of all the people who ever lived and are now dead ended up dying in the same month as they were born in.

Weed moved? I thought it was in California near Mount Shasta.

Looked online, theories include back in
the 70s it was said because 420 was police code for someone smoking marijuana.Later the Grateful Dead were putting on a show
on Apr 20 and some hippies suggested meeting at 4:20 to go to the show.

Beverly Hillbillies—Clampetts are in Griffith Park hanging round with hippies.
Granny, to a cop: “I’m goin’ down to the lake to smoke some crawdads.But first I need a little pot.”

She’s hauled away.

Anti-pot hysterics see what they want to see.

“O’Malley fears that it will [...] promote the opioid epidemic.”

O’Malley’s fear has no basis in fact: States with Legal Marijuana See 25 Percent Fewer Prescription Painkiller Deaths - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3197446/posts

“Why is 420 the number associated with marijuana? Does anyone know?”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

“In 1971, Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich five high school students[2] in San Rafael, California,[3][4] calling themselves the Waldos because “their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school”, used the term in connection with a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about, based on a treasure map made by the grower. The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase “4:20 Louis”. Several failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply “4:20”, which ultimately evolved into a codeword that the teens used to mean marijuana-smoking in general.”
