How are you celebrating 4/20?

I've been on visitations, doing welfare checks of kids we ministered to, and working bus routes over the years, and have a door open and us get invited in and that smell hit us in the face....so I've been around it.

and I've seen the lives it's destroyed, the kids that have went without because someone's drive was greater for weed than it was for providing for their family.

I've seen lives destroyed by those that used it to stair step to stronger and more damaging substances....

and considering many come to view this forum from searches, etc... I'd think there could be greater things the body of Christ could post about to share our witness and testimony of freedom and the love of Christ than joke about actually celebrating something as vile as weed... just my thoughts. There again, never meant to come off holier than though, just thinking about our witness and what we joke about partaking in.

I agree. I have seen and heard too many people who had their lives destroyed by this garbage to wish to have anything to do with it. God helped keep me free of this garbage when I was growing up, and I am not wanting to see anyone else destroyed by this trash.

I recognized the words in the first post, however, didn't know that 4/20 was something celebrated (regarding those words), so I can agree that it probably was in poor taste to respond.

I just thought Timmy woke up at the foot of the bed today!

420 as I understand it is the number of distinct molecules in the cannabis plant. While I'm pretty much in agreement with Bro Robbins, I find this less harmless than excluding all but a certain 4, common on this forum.

Also, while smoking pot is surely not in anyone's best interest,
I suggest that eating it produces quite different effects,
especially at the proper dosage, and I...highly
recommend it for what might ail you.

I think it may approach irresponsibility to promote alcohol over pot--but I don't think
teens should be doing either one. Also, it is de facto legal where I live. Another good thing that has been corrupted, imo.

In case anyone's wondering, I haven't tried it, either.

Yet.
