Im curious to see if anoyone other than myself noticed the weather outside today. When i awoke it was dark, gloomy and kinda rainy. Yet as soon as the beloved 420 came and went the sun came out. I feel this is great representation of the “holiday”. Actually i wont use the term holiday, lets go with gathering. Celebrating 420 is a dark cloud that surrounds boudler every year on 420, and honestly im glad its over. Personally i have no problems with people using drugs in their home or whatever it is that proponents claim to want. But i feel that going out a delibratley breaking the law and publicly smoking weed is kinda going about it the wrong way. I personally have never smoked on 420, purely out of my own life principles. I feel that recognizing 420 as a “holiday” or partaking in the event means to me that i place enough value in my life on a drug as to take time to celebrate it, and that will NEVER be the case. When the use of drugs becomes that large of a priority in your life as to skip class, work or whatever to go use it, to mee its sad. Addiction occurs when people begin to put drugs in to high a priority in their life and as much as people think weed isnt addictive, it is. It may not cause the health problems that harder drugs will but think about the social consequences it causes. Skipping class to go smoke, skipping work to go smoke. These things although they seem like small events in the long run might just be that one thing that could put you over the line. I dunno i guess i just find it amusing that people still hold durgs on such high regard, and im not sure if i’ll really ever understand why. Most likely beacsue i wont allow myself to find out. Call me stubborn but i think there comes a time in everyone’s life where you need to just be a little mature and this would be one of those times.
