Everyone seems to be forgetting the Columbine shoot-up was on 4/20/2000! Another reason to smoke up is to pay tribute to the students who took the shots.
Im sure a lot of things happend on 420... but my main reason to smoke up is just for fun, not tribute. Not to be selfish or anything, its just this world has enough sad shit going on as it is, we pay remorse every day, but 420 is my day to just say 'Fuck everything, lets smoke and have a good time'
I was just thinkin bout that. It would have been so scary to have seen that high, which im sure many did.
I think of 420 a day designated for us to have our own personal holiday. So you can chose to do whatever you want to do. (As long as you smoke some weed)
Solution: Have a solemn moment of silence for the people who died at Columbine, then have a happy tokin' rest of the day!
how bout i go to my gay school (its so small that everyone knows if your not there) until chemistry class when we are taking a field trip (read: drive to the beach with my class in seperate cars) that lasts through lunch. im gonna smoke then and then i have a dentist appointment. but im gonna smoke after that too.
how bout i just wake up and get high all fuckin day long and listen to some great music ... yea... why do people always have to look a bad things that have happened in the past... the past is the past... there was remorse days.. weeks.. months after columbine.. theres been more than enough remorse for them.. now is the present... think about present things if you want to show remorse.. show remorse for all the innocent people being killed in the war right now.. how bout that? no.. i dont just me our soldiers.. i mean our soldiers and innocent iraqiis that have been thrown in the mix as well.. why live in the past when theres such a cluster fuck right now to deal with [/rant]
I think of 4 20 as more of a holiday than anything else amost. Besides xmas, 4th of july and my b day. Good advice sirtokesalot.
man... the shootings happend when i was in highschool. i remember feeling such a sense of glee and content every time i saw the crying faces of the friends and family of the ones they killed. ...i still do sometimes. no sympathy. i just dropped out, they went all the way.
by having a really horrable highschool experience, myself. it's not like i agree with it. if i could stop it and say "guys, just drop out and get your g.e.d.s and move on with your lives. it's not all about highschool." i totally would. it's just a deep down emotional thing, y'know..
I just have to say, that I feel that this statement is absolutley retarded. How does getting high pay tribute to student who got shot and killed 6 years ago? If anything a more noble act would to NOT smoke on 420. Why? Because doing something you like and normally do, is not showing tribute. By giving up the "pleasure" 0f 420 and not smoking is a sacrafice you can make if you actually want to pay tribute. If people disagree with me, I'm sorry. But what was said above, is one of those few times where I think in my head "Stupid Fucking Stoner". Because it's just so dumb.
The sad part was they already completed all their requirements for graduation, all they had to do was show up and they would have been out there. I sucks, i remember thinking in highschool that the world began and ended there, that there wasn't a life afterwords... oh how wrong we were. Neways, I used to get picked on until columbine, then everyone left me alone. I don't know if we have a word for it in english, but sometimes something bad inadvertently affects you in a good way. Like Bush invades Iraq, but you own stock in a military supply company in a mutual fund, and end up making thousands... Also, anyone ever wonder if they planned it for 420 because all the stoners were skipping that day?
they didnt. I read on wikipedia the whole incident, start to finish, and they planned it for 4/19 but the making of their propane bomb that was gonna blow up the entire cafeteria and send the library crashing down made them postpon it a day. And not saying that I support it, but if I was brought to the point of suicide, I'd want to bring down the people that brought me to that point.
