I could tell you so many stories about pipes and papers, hash and pot, and ... um, I forgot what we were talking about.

This Oakanna rhyming with iguana doesn’t sit well with me. Neither does talk of invoking the Insurrection Act.

My son's company brand was "Happy Trails".

And my locker at the DC is 420.

Could “hashtag” be used for a cannabiz brand?

I have been correcting that pronunciation of my name for my entire conscious life.

My head is spinning with all of this wisdom and word play. (I do not personally partake.) Excellent piece.

Thank you. Seems wholly implausible.

"This Sunday, April 20, will be many things to many people". The Fuhrer would have been 136; I am scheduled to be 77. Which anniversary is yet another gross enormity of contemporary existence I find wholly impossible to encompass.

It's still dangerous, despite all the new branding. It's not called locoweed for nothing. Ask any Texas rancher. When cows get into it, they not only become aggressive, stiff and/or hyperactive, they also get reproductive problems, including birth defects. Cows are a lot bigger than humans. We're undergoing a massive human guinea pig experiment now. So far we know there's a connection between weed and schizophrenia. But hey, as long as distributers make money, right?
