Anyone notice today is 420? Unless you grew up under a rock, you should know what it means. If not, go here.
As you may or may not know, I have NEVER tried drugs (unless you count my brother's Adderall for when I took the SAT's) so I don't really have one of those "highlarious" stories people love telling and NO ONE likes listening too. In honor of today's date, however, I'm gonna tell you about the (2) times I've been in the same room as MJ.
First time: My twin brother (not really my twin) got home one time when we were 15 (if you've been paying attention to this blog, I had just gotten to the US from Home Country) and told me "You're not gonna believe me, but I'm high as a kite right now. I just tried marijuana for the first time last week and I love it". I freaked out a bit, but since I am a cool sister I didn't snitch. After about an hour of me asking him every single thing that came to my mind about the MJ, he said to me "You know what, we're gonna smoke up together. Tomorrow. We'll skip school with my friends and party like rock stars." He didn't really say we'd party like rock stars because that term wasn't invented yet, but he did say everything else. So the next day, we skipped school with a couple of his friends and we all went to the pharmacy to get Visine. After that we went to this random park and bought weed from a girl and we were on our way. Let me just say that by this point I was FREAKING OUT. Every time I saw a cop I would start shaking and reminding my brother of how much trouble we'd be in and how I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in jail. When we finally got to a secluded area, we got in a circle and started doing the infamous puff, puff, pass. As I saw the blunt going down the circle and getting near me I started thinking about reasons NOT to do it and when it finally got to me, I said "I'm nervous, I'll wait for the next round." Next round comes, and I say "Yeah, I think I'm not gonna do this today." So I ended up not doing it. My brother did it for a while, but I'm not really sure when or if he stopped. After that, I didn't encounter MJ for 5 years.
Second time: This was two months ago. Me and my best friend went out to a club with her friend who came to visit her from Peru (Vanessa), that girl's cousin and her cousin's best guy friend. You with me so far? Good. So me, Vanessa, her cousin and the guy are in the car and stopped at a gas station to get cigarettes. Cousin asks me "Douchegirl, do you have a lighter? No, you don't smoke right?" "No, I don't". Then she says "You don't smoke anything?". For some reason, this question struck me as funny and I felt like being sarcastic so I tell her "I only smoke marijuana." Of course, all three of them looked at me and said "Cool!!! We have some here and we're gonna smoke up before getting to the club." Crap!!!!! Are they serious? I had to tell them that I was joking and that I don't really smoke anything. After a LOOOONG drive (if you live in SoFla, you know that going to downtown Miami is a fucking pain the ass and about a 45 minute drive from anywhere) we picked up my best friend and were on our way to the club. Me, bff and Vanessa were in the backseat, guy was driving and cousin was in the passenger's seat. All of a sudden my best friend goes "It smells weird in here. Like eucalyptus" I start doing that whole loud sniffing fandango, but can't really smell anything and she goes "No, really. It smells like a plant." At this, cousin starts CRACKING UP and she says "Hell yeah, it's a plant alright!" and turns around and hands Vanessa a little pipe. Vanessa starts smoking it up right next to me and blowing the smoke in my face. Then she wanted to share it with me so she goes "Here, but don't smoke too much. I want it all for myself." Ew. I seriously started freaking out because I thought we were gonna get pulled over by cops and I was gonna end up in a show with the Bad Boys theme song.
Other than those two experiences, I haven't really been good friends with the MJ. Sometimes I feel so sheltered, but then again, it's saved me from a lot of trouble. I have never even seen harder drugs (i.e: coke, meth, heroine...) in real life.
Did you celebrate 420? How?

I celebrated 420 by drinking beer and getting a contact high.
Ok, I didn't get a contact high, but I almost did.
i smoked up with my freshman buddy. he packed a bowl and put a lot of keef on top, so i took one hit and was GONE. i passed out for like 3 hours before he kicked me out, at which point i went back to my place and slept some more.
i usually smoke weed maybe once every other month, but for some reason [probably the nice spring weather] my friends have been sparking up almost every day for the past couple weeks.
i was sober this 4/20. but seriously my apartment building was for sure toking the hell out their sunday afternoon.
I was actually sober this 4/20 but in the past my friends and I have had 4/20 parties. We'd just smoke all day long and look retarded on the couch. I haven't smoked in a LONGGG time though.
shoot, i didnt celebrate! i totally didnt even realize the date. though, i was nursing quite the hangover from the previous nights debauchery.
thanks for stopping by my blog, by the way! love the title of yours.
didn't get a chance to celebrate...I had to work all day.
I did celebrate last year by packing a bowl with a few friends. it was delightful.
thanks for stopping by, I like the blog and will definitely come back for more :)
Neeeever heard of this 4/20 thing. Must be an American thing...
-RS: Can you really get a contact high? I thought it was a myth.
-Jerseysjov: Nice weather makes people smoke? I always thought it would be cold weather, to kinda warm you up.
-Alexa: Ew. I would hate to live in apartment complex where people toke so much.
-Nachi: 420 parties? There's probably A LOT of food right?
-Brookem: For some reason, I ALWAYS remember 420. Even if I don't celebrate it.
-Thisdayandage: Couldn't you go stoned to work? I mean, it's always a possibility right?
-Kali: I think it is, I had never heard about it before I moved here.
I can relate, never did the MJ. I never wanted to and when I graduated from college it really seemed pointless. There was one time that I got drunk enough to be a willing participant but I couldn't inhale lol.
but of course!
I was hungover and watched season 4 of the Sopranos while eating pizza.
One year (the first year I actually heard of 420), I was spending the night (Friday) at my high school with about 50 other kids for this charity thing... Anyway, the girl running it and her BFF (probably not, but they hung out a lot) apparently had smoked up outside during breaks. Talk about charitable, right?
Anyway. My second experience with MJ is with a good friend of mine who after hearing I never smoked and had no intention to confessed to me, "I only do it because I am sooo good at rolling a joint." That's a skill to be proud of, right? Hahaha.
I had such a GLORIOUS 4/20! We blazed all day long, BBQ'd up 8 pounds of carne asade, and finished off with a "grilled cheese invitational" sampling of grilled cheese sandwiches lol.
It was amazing.
BTW you said MIAMI in this blog and I leave next Weds - WOOT!
