Here’s the smokin’ 411 on 420 Hearne Christopher Jr.

* More Hearne Christopher, Jr.

April Fools’ Day, tax day — what’s next? May Day?

Not quite.

First we have to slip past April 20, or “420” in stoner parlance. That’s the date many marijuana smokers celebrate in recognition of 420 being the unofficial but widely recognized term for the time to light up a joint.

Which brings us to the 420 event planned by our friends at Munchiez in Westport, Brandi and Lisa Blair. The couple dishes up Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Gummi Bears, cheese puffs, sandwiches and other munchies to late night partiers from their biz at 1517 Westport Road.

“We’ve been swamped. Business is fabulous,” Lisa says.

“It’s awesome,” Brandi adds. “Our Tuesday nights are starting to pick up, too. And on Saturday nights, it’s just wall-to-wall people.”

As for the big fiesta Thursday, the pair had planned to erect a tent and hold a massive street party to celebrate the big day. But for sanity’s sake, they’ve dialed it back to an in-store bash with live DJs and food and drink specials.

“I want to find somebody to dress up in a big sheet and wear a big, orange Afro wig, so they look like a joint,” Brandi says.

>>Truth be told, marijuana is a harmless drug that was legal until white middle-class kids started smoking it and listening to jazz music in the 20s. Can't let those negroes influence good white society too much!!!<<

You know that does sound like a "proper society" reaction.

Harmless? You call marihuana-crazed negroes raping white women and hacking people to death with axes harmless? That devil weed is probably responsible for more than a few riots! Harmless my foot! Haven't you ever seen Reefer Madness?
