Are you celebrating "420" this year?

Yup, certainly will! And it's my 12th wedding anniversary. People are always so tickled that our anniversary is 420. It wasn't planned that way, of course. I love special brownies, CanadaGal, I'm sure you will too. Very nice body thing, trust me, you'll feel it.

The special brownies I get. But clue me: 420? Some curious Canadian night festival. Please tell this ignorant Englishman.

lol i smoked since i was 14 till i got pregnant with my first baby, and now i can't justify smoking.. i feel like a bad mommy. lol i know i wouldnt be.. but also i know i started because my thought process was that if my parents smoke, then it must not be SO bad, cause my parents wouldnt do anything bad.. they are good enough people.. So i dont want my kids to smoke till they are at least done school.. if they really need to. . Anyways i'd never heard the term 420 before i moved to ontario. lol we never said that in NS. We only had canibus day.. on canada day. lol a BIG field in the middle of the city where EVERYONE went to smoke. and the tourists walked by sniffing and scratching their heads. lol. I have never eaten special brownies either.. hope you enjoy them ;)

I plan on celebrating 420 in almost the exact same manner as you, except I will be going over to a friends and I will be preparing the oil in advance.. what a coincidence eh ;)

I knew CanadaGal was a 420 lover but wasnt to sure. I will be working at the flea market with my business, but i can drink some coors light while im there, and smoke in the morning and at night when i get home. I have never tried special brownies either. I want to try them but never had the time or money. My mom one time sprinkled my spegettie with buds and i ate like 5 bowls of it.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh - don't tell anyone, but I got my 420 brownies in the mail the other day. I'm keeping them in the fridge until the big day. My girlfriend 'back home' makes THE most delicious brownies on a regular basis and ships some to me from the time for 'medicinal' purposes! LOL So yeah, I'll be celebrating and burning the crumbs in my bong! ROFL See - I've got the giggles already just thinking about it! LOL Got any munchies. I have a sudden craving for munchies........here chippy, chippy, here chippy....................LOL

NO there is Nothing to Celebrate 420 for me.

no I won't be celebrating 420 because I do not even know what that is

LOL no I'm not...and thats not a celebration I'd have participated in for at least 20 yrs now....I know a lot of ppl back home that probably will be though

That's exactly what I plan on doing. We're going to bake up some brownies or cookies or something and sit around watching stoner movies all day long. It's gonna be awesome and lots of my friends just so happen to be visiting.

Gotta smoke while ya cook the brownies, with some good tunes on. When the brownies are done and cooling off, get out the Cheech and Chong movies. Up in Smoke, Next Movie, Nice Dreams, and Still Smokin. I usually go to the store (its very close by, because ya know I had to have a sample brownie first) to get my drinks and munchies. By the time I get back with my cart load of way too much stuff, ITS ON!!!Brownies, movies, munchies, OH YEAH!!!! Do you do the 420 at 4:20AM & PM too? I used to have the first batch of brownies done so we could start in the AM and eat them all day, then get out the really good stuff for smokin at 4:20PM, but now that I have a child, I have to get a babysitter and tone things down a bit. But my hubby and I still try to make a day of it. It's funny though, friends I haven't seen for several months, ALWAYS show up on 420, I guess it's the........brownie smell?? #:)

I'll be working. One of my daughters used to think it was a national holiday and they should have school off for it.

Do You mean passover or is this some other special event in canada I am here in Southern California. I think I am the most boring person on mylot as I will probably be mylotting or else going to the library for new books or going shopping.nothing fantastic though.lol

No im not doing anything for 420.Have'nt smoked in a year.Had to quit.But I will tell you those brownies aren't what there put out to be.You better puff puff pass the blunt befor hand.What you should try are some gaunga goo balls.There nice.I can't belive some people have never heard about 420 thats craqy.But we all come from different walks of life.LOL have alot of fun and puff some for me.

This holiday sounds interesting. I have never heard of 420 as we don't celebrate it in the states. What is 420 about?

I thought this whole 420 thing was an american stoner tradition only. Unfortunately I haven't been able to celebrate since I was 16. But I have had those "special brownies" before and they aren't as good as people think they are unless you puff puff give before eating them.

Well, I made these brownies a while ago experimentally with some old, not so potent stuff without too much bud in it so I was very generous adding to the brownie mix. I just baked the brownies as you normally would. I did not use any oil as I had no idea how to make that. And they worked all right. All of us ate a fairly normal sized brownie each, maybe 3" square. Welll.............we were still stoned the next day. In fact, I woke up through the night really dizzy, a few times. Yes, it keeps on working and adding to the effect. So be forewarned, yes, it does last a long time, but does take around an hour to work. So just take a small amount, because if you get impatient and eat more, you won't know the effect until much later and by then it is too late. You just gotta ride it out. It will wear off eventually. No harm, no foul. But, yes, you will still have all the usual effects, dry mouth, and munchies. lol. Smoking works faster and you can titrate the dosage more easily as you go along. By all means, it is an experience I think everyone should try though. Life is about living and enjoying and experiencing new things. Yes, I will be celebrating on April 20th in some way now that I know about it. I didn't know what it meant for sure until now. But I think I am going to go the activist route somewhat and see if I can find some local demonstration to go to, too. Anybody know what's here in Ontario, Canada? I guess they will be really celebrating it in B.C. In a big way. I have also been emailing the gov't, but will also make a point of doing it on 420, too, now that I know the date itself.

CG, if I get any earthier, I will actually be compost.

I have never ever heard of 420?! Is it just a Canadian thing or American./.. Sounds cool though - has anyone got any further info about it for me pretty please?

I have never tried brownies but have heard of them. I celebrate 420 several times aweek. I find comsuming is far better than smoking and experimented different ways of consuming. I find the high to be like this first high after not being high for several days. The starting times vary depending on your body weight and stomach content. I have melted chocolate and mix it in then reharden. I have mixed it in a smoothie. If anyone tells you you have to cook it they just don't know. No you don't.
