April 20th

Lots of people at work are concerned about strange behavior on April 20th....

I think all the TRFers should wear 2 watches that day

hmm... nevermind I guess

When I was a teacher, we always were on high alert for odd behavior as it's the "celebration of cannabis culture" day and also the anniversary of the Columbine shootings and OK City bombing (which I think was actually the day before or after, but proximity is close).

You don't want to be walking in Downtown Vancouver on April 20th.

Hippy smell + marijuana smell does not mix as well as they think it does.

Yup. 9:02 a.m. I was driving to work later than usual after a doc appt. and the explosion rocked my car.

I've never heard of 4/20, though.

Wow, no way. I always remember that day, as it's my b-day. In fact, I recall being glued to the TV, and knowing that it would be etched in my memory...

Hahaha great pic Yume-sama, I was actually in the area today, wonder if we walked past each other at any point :) (I was actually watch shopping though, just happened to catch a bit of the festivities. honest! :)

Funny thing is this picture is not photoshoped in any way, this is pretty much how downtown Vancouver looked all day. Plumes of fragrant smoke billowing above the heads of Cops sitting around watching people smoking joints.

420 is a national Canadian holliday :)

As for cannabis smoking, I think they should decriminalize possession of small amounts(Here in America). Our prisons are full of offenders who have small amounts when busted. I'm sure this view will not be popular but to me it's no different than drinking alcohol!!!

fyi....

in Singapore, if yur caught with a nano-gram...DEATH, they hang yur NO JOKE.

..........................

When i was in university i took a class called community policing, apparently in the States a person that is charged and guilty of rape gets far less jail time than someone that is caught with possesion. the US govt apparently spends bout $31,000 on each inmate in jail per year, which is more than the combined costs of what it spend on education, healtcare, welfare, etc on a person that is not in jail......

I flew in to Singapore from Tokyo, and on the plane they gave out a red pamphlet with all of the things they'll sentence you to Death for if you brought it in Singapore

Certainly set the mood

I've never touched the stuff (swear) so I really don't know how much it affects a person or how dangerous it is. But I'm sure it would be a cash cow if it were taxed

In New York, possession of 25 grams or less is decriminalized. $100 fine.
