Four and Twenty Stoners, Baked
Cory figured that would not be hard. “There’ll be no fighting here today, no one’s out to hurt anyone else,” he said. “People know that about marijuana. No one’s ever died from taking marijuana. It’s not a bad thing.”
As he was completing his thought, his voice was drowned out by cheers all around. The clock had struck 4:20 on 4/20. It was time. Lighters flashed setting pipes, chillums and joints ablaze. A cloud of smoke rose above the park. The crowd cheered again. The drummers played on. Before you knew it, it was over, and the stoned masses ambled down the hill headed for home.

Hey, I was one of those purple-haired girls! Honestly, that was the first time I’d ever been in Arcata, and what a great way to do it. It was amazing. I didn’t smoke at 420P.M. on 4/20, although I did smoke at 420A.M. We smoked a bowl right as two cop cars pulled up to the park. Theme song for the night: RUN TO THE HILLS! :p Only a few people got tickets, but it still wasn’t enough to stop us from having a fantastic day. <3
