(April 20) -- It's the closest thing that marijuana smokers have to an official holiday.

Every year on April 20 at precisely 4:20 p.m., thousands of people across the country break the law and get high in public. Today, at gatherings in places like San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and Denver's Civic Center Park, that tradition is set to continue as advocates of marijuana legalization converge and light up.

"It's the day when marijuana smokers come out of the closet," Keith Stroup, founder and legal counsel for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, told AOL News. "On 4-20 we stand proud to show people that we are just average Americans. While most people get home from work and enjoy a glass of wine or a beer, we relax with marijuana, and that should be legal."

Millions of people forget this holiday every year.

More chips, salsa and guacamole consumed than on Super Bowl Sunday.

I saw the news story and then was shocked when nobody had posted about here.

I'm sorry, but I think adults who smoke marijuana on anything more than an extremely rare occasion are losers.

There hasn't been a Fox Sports Radio host who hasn't mentioned it all day. But I guess hack radio hosts have to invent bogus "holidays" in order to produce shows these days, since, you know, there aren't any sports going on at all right now, or drafts in the coming days....
The Fox guys are the worst because everything and everyone sucks or is the best ever, so it doesn't really take a lot of time to dispose of a topic.

Based on...? Are you a loser if you have a beer or glass of wine every day?

... because most employers frown on its use. It's illegal, and if they don't fire you the first time you get busted, they'll make you go thru rehab, and they WILL fire you the second time you're caught. Unless you're independently wealthy or just don't give a ****, don't light up.

Total ****ing bull****.

I know guys who have steady gigs, who are upstanding people with families who smoke weed and lead a very normal life.

One of my best friends is a teacher his way of relaxing is home is to smoke. He has never been arrested, he has a son who loves him, he isn't married now but that's cause his ex is a total shrew. He has a nice home, money in the bank and is not a loser. He also isn't the only person I know who smokes regularly and leads a very normal life.

Besides that, alcohol is way more damaging than weed.

Rehab? For weed? Bob Saget scoffs at you.

If you celebrate this day or consider it a holiday, lol at your life.

If Roethlisberger got high instead of drunk, well I'm thinking he stays out of a lot more trouble than he gets into.

I have not seen too many police blotters that said the husband got high and beat his wife.

Read that it's a 14 billion dollar industry in California. Seems like legalizing it would give the state a lot of needed tax revenue.

dammit, i already miss those 420 day carols. but i wish the stores wouldn't start putting up 420 day decorations so early. it just lessens the spirit of the season when you stretch it out too much.

Adults who drink and drive even once are worse than losers.

Adults who become serial killers are worse than worse losers.

See I disagree. You could have a very upstanding citizen who has one too many and makes a poor decision under the influence of alcohol and I wouldn't say they are a worse person than someone who knowingly does an illegal drug.

That's one man's opinion though.

Nah, I'm too busy preparing for Earth Day. Which should be a paid holiday, damn it!
