Wherever I go, there I am!!...

So today April 20th, 2009 in Vancouver and I am sure in many parts of the world, people are celebrating 4-20. What does this mean I hear you ask?. Take the time to read the below explanation and then watch the you tube video. As I was walking home tonight, the streets were filled with young people who were out in force smoking their lungs out on Marijuana. What a wonderful sight to see on my way home as they basked in the spring sun, took over the streets and 'lit up a joint'. Vancouver is one of only a few cities in the world where smoking marijuana in public is not deemed an offence. Some of the rules and regulations here really baffle me!. Funny what people get passionate about and what they don't.

The first link is an explanation about what exactly 4-20 is, the second link is a article in the local news paper about 4-20 and finally the third is a video of the event taking place. I almost died of smoke inhalation, walking through this scene.

Caution, the video may be offensive to some viewers.
