National Pot Smoking Day
In case you were unaware, today, April 20, 2006 (420), is National Pot Smoking Day. Since I like noting "special" days that derive their importance from their numerical sequence in the M-D format(Remeber my Pi Haiku for Pi Day? No one has figured that thing out yet!), I would be amiss not to celebrate a day that honors America's favorite illegal drug: marijuana.
No, I know what you're thinking. This Neal guy is some kind of pothead! Well, you're wrong: I don't puff the magic dragon. I only partake in legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco (The latter only very occasionally via a pipe or a cigar). Not that there's anything wrong with toking on the ganja! I just hope you don't get caught.
Which brings me to my parting thoughts on cannabis on this special day: when is America going to legalize marijuana? Your body is your property. You can do what you want with it. Our government understands this with respect to abortion, food, nicotine and alcohol. What's the hold up with weed? If Rick Steves is into it, can it really be that bad?
