I get high on life, not drugs. I've never smoked marijuana, and I won't ever smoke marijuana, I have no interest in it.
Do you drink alcohol? Do you smoke cigarettes? Do you drink caffeinated coffee or soda? Ever take a 5 hour energy boost? It's cool if you don't want to smoke marijuana but don't look down on others who partake responsibly. I haven't smoked in a long time but have been around many successful full time pot smokers. Some of the most intelligent folks I've ever been around. They work hard and get quality results at their workplace (or business they own). I never really understood people who look down on regular folk pot smokers.

I won't be celebrating. In honor of 420 Day, it would be funny if Google changed the o o letters in their logo, into a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Perhaps, because it opens your mind? Hmmmm? It does tend to give one deep thoughts. Nothing wrong with that.

No, I don't do any of those things.

No, I'm working in the yard today followed by a few loads of laundry. Just taking a break right now.

I never did "get" the need to use mind altering drugs or over indulge in alcohol. I guess some people cannot deal with reality.

If someone is in the process of dying from a painful disease and it helps them keep food down or decreases their pain, fine; but this so called "medical marijuana" and the dispensaries are a complete farce.

Happy St. Patrick's day? here's a shot of braincell-killing whiskey.

By the way, do you know for a fact that cannabis kills brain cells? It's actually a remarkably mild drug, especially compared to alcohol.

Do you take aspirin? Anti-depressants? Cholesterol medicine? Any prescription pill? Cough Medicine? Allergy medicine?

If you still say 'no' to those questions I won't look down at you. Wish you'd have the same respect for others who differ from what you do.

Please note celebrating 420 is not the same as celebrating 4/20. At first I thought this was some sick post about Hitler's birthday
