Willie Nelson group calls on Biden to dub 4/20 a national ‘High Holiday’
New York Post ^ | April 20, 2021 | Ben Cost

In honor of unofficial pot holiday April 20 (4/20), an organization repping country musician and marijuana enthusiast Willie Nelson is imploring President Joe Biden to declare the time a national week of cannabis celebration. An online petition to legitimize the “High Holidays” currently boasts 4,000 signatures.

The document, penned by the iconic singer’s Texas-based concert team Luck Reunion, reads: “The fine people of Luck, Texas, and supporters of the great Willie Nelson, on behalf of cannabis users around the nation, are writing today to ask you to consider declaring the 9 days spanning April 20 to April 29 an official national holiday: the ‘High Holidays.’ “

They decided on the April 29 end date so the holidaze would dovetail with the multi-time Grammy winner’s birthday.

420 is police code for pot bust or some such

Pot doesn’t mess you up the same way most other drugs do. Because of that, the potheads feel more cozy referring to it (more or less) as a useful medicine.

So 4/20 isn’t just a day, it’s now a week.
But I know people who celebrate it every darn day!

I’m glad someone else sees that. Pot is a religion, not a drug. You can go to any other drug user, and they don’t care i you “insult” their drug, but potheads react to it like Muslims react to insulting Allah. Even here on FR.

There’s even a song about Willie Nelson relative to the topic of this thread.

A few bong hits after work is no more harmful than swilling down a cocktail or a brewski.

After Elvis died an elderly female fan wanted to pay one last tribute to him by having his face tattoo’d on her inner thigh.

So she tells the tattoo artist what she wants and he starts to work. When he finishes he hands her a mirror to see what she thinks.

She looks into the mirror and is not really to sure so she says try again on the other inner thigh.

So the tattoo artist does and when he finishes he hands her the mirror and the woman still isn’t sure. So the tattoo artist said maybe they should get another opinion.

He steps out side his shop and gets an old wino in off the street and asks him to look at the 2 tattoos and tell him who he thinks they are.

The wino gets down and looks back and forth and finally comes up. The tattoo artist says “so could you tell who that is?”

The wino says “I don’t recognize the twins but the one in the middle looks like Willie Nelson”

We had a sizable number of kids that hung around a wall, smoking cigarettes a deed, in my high school. They were called wallrats.

Personally, I think pot can mess you up worse.

4/20, or maybe 420 must be some sort of drug reference.

Ya think?

“I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening – or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . . But never at dusk.” - Steve Martin

I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
And it makes me feel alright

I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke some more...
