Happy April 20th!

In Germany the weed is legal now, so they might celebrate.

Then again 20th of April is Hitlers birthday, so they might refrain from celebrating.

I’m curious…

You have to smoke weed on 4/20, otherwise it’s the birthday.

Literally waking and baking reading this without realizing today was the day.

It’s probably not on twitters archive anymore. Back in like, idk, 2011? 2013? Kenny Powers (@KFUCKINGP) tweeted the most beautiful tweet to this sentiment.

“I smoke weed when I smoke weed, bitch. Not on some fuckin day in April.”

And since it’s likely been lost to time and poor management, I wanted to share it with you all from memory.

US stoners on 4/20: “What if we changed the date format to one that makes sense? Nah that wouldn’t work I’m just high”

I always find it funny, that their favourite holiday is 4th of July, not July 4th.

Its our way of mocking the Brits.

That’s actually the theory of the origin of the split, believe it or not, formal vs casual tone in writing and speech.

British papers would print the current date as Fifth of September or whatever, American papers would print it as December 18th. There’s exceptions in the record for both, obviously, but that’s the leading theory last I heard.

There’s also a bit about the British papers being more readily available so more people read it daily and the day was more important, versus American papers having a more rural audience where the month was more important and daily events not so much but I’m not sure I buy that one.
