A lot of people are asking me why I haven’t spoken about “420 Day,” which is basically the most exciting date in any weed-head’s calendar. And it’s not some rubbish made-up day. Oh no, my friend, this celebration has been going since 1971!

Hmmm…I wonder why I would only surface two days later?

Let me bring you up to speed:

420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. The date 4/20 is sometimes referred to as “Weed Day” or “Pot Day”.

The term was coined from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana outside the school.

According to an April 2009 article on the The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school. Writer Ryan Grim, citing interviews with anonymous Waldos, claims that the group met by the statue at 4:20 p.m. to begin a search for a crop of abandoned cannabis growing near Point Reyes that they had heard about. They never found the stash, Grim writes, but smoked plenty of marijuana while looking for it.

What an absolutely wonderful vibe. It’s articles like these that make Nedbank and Virgin Active Gyms (who ironically turn a blind eye to gay toilet sex in their own gyms) feel vindicated that they block access to 2oceansvibe. YOU SEE! This is exactly why we block that filth… that poison!

But seriously, you will be blown away by these pics taken in the States on Tuesday, showing thousands of people lighting up. They are literally standing in a FOG of “dagga” smoke!
