Update: It looks like the place to be in Montreal for this event is Parc Mont Royal. Be there or be square!
Hello friends!
This is a nice time of year, spring has sprung and our friend Summer has officially RSVP’d so everyone is preparing for her arrival. Everywhere you look, and even in places you don’t, you’ll see the changing face of the urban environment in preparation for all the wonder that such a season will bestow upon us. All because we so dillegently survived a lap around the sun, our reward is astronomical.
Another nice thing about today is the calendar day being represented as 4/20. A counter-culture holiday celebrated by hippies and business people a like, if you’re a regular reader I have a feeling I shouldn’t need to explain this, but a little info never hurts.
Santa Cruz Students Blaze Sadly, I had a rough time finding any first hand 420 info concerning Montreal, but reading this is a good indication of what goes on with some awesome pictures.
Thousands of students from around the Monterey and San Francisco Bay Areas participated in a “Four Twenty” celebration in Porter Meadow at UC Santa Cruz on April 20th, 2008. Four Twenty (420) is a time of day when people, often a group of friends, smoke cannabis together or eat foods cooked with it. For that reason, April 20th has evolved into a counterculture holiday where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.
Fairly straight forward no? Check out these pictures…
Are these kids fighting a wild fire? Nope, that’s a different kind of smoke.
While there are detractors, haters, police, politician who will shoot down people like this. Those who want to arrest people who get high, who want to smash glass bongs and pipes, and stop people from doing something humans have been doing for centuries. These people get together to show solidarity in marijuana usage, to reinforce the peace and harmony involved in smoking or ingesting marijuana. Trying to prove that Marijuana is not a dangerous substance, but the opposite.
Well, I’m sure I’ll have a perspective employer Google my name and probably not hire me because of this post. If you had the interest to read this far, please consider that I am not an abuser, but a free thinking user who wants to spread the word. I am not a junkie that will space out of his job to smoke pot, or let what I do at home effect what I do at work. I am a normal, functioning citizen of Canada, who can proudly stand behind something I don’t think is all that bad.
That being said, Marijuana is not for everyone, and I want you readers to be aware there are consequences to all actions. Do not take my blog post as a recommendation for illegal activity, or to incite illicit behavior.
One love, peace be with all of you!
