Pot Smokers Ring in 4-20 Day Celebration,
Talk of Molecular Universes in Little Finger – CoverUps.com

Tracy Coolidge, 33, of Cookeville, TN, has wanted to attend a “four twenty” celebration ever since she became a pot head in high school. Unfortunately, she oftentimes forgets what month it is. She loves to smoke reefer, watch "Friends" reruns, and that's about it. She says her habit doesn't interfere with her career as a Dollar Store general cashier.

ALL ACROSS THE U.S. – So the story goes in 1971 a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, CA, called themselves "The Waldos." Supposedly, they would meet every day after school at 4:20pm to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue.

The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis,” and it eventually caught on more widely as others learned of it. Many cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. However, CoverUps.com has learned, that more and more cannabis users have simply forgotten about it until weeks have passed. It's caused quite a problem in the drug subculture.

Regis Melbourne, 23, a marijuana smoker, and Pizza delivery driver in Boston states:

“I wanted to get together with all my buddies to celebrate the special day, but I smoked too much pot the day before and simply forgot the meaning of the life…. The next time, I might ask my Mom to yell down the basement steps and let me know what day it is… This is the third year in the row I missed it. I also missed my X-Box Rainbow Six Tournament.”

Melbourne is not alone and his forgetfulness is symptomatic of the problems many cannabis users face in getting marijuana legalized. Their main problem is they just can’t get motivated to do anything.

Greg Seahorn, 35, of Dobyville, AR, wants to legalize marijuana but can’t seem to remember to do anything about it – or his laundry for that matter. He has been meaning to put together a resume for some time as well, but was short on rolling paper, so that was it for his resume.

Many marijuana users claim that what is needed is a grass roots movement to get marijuana legalized, but that takes people willing to get off the sofa and put the Doritos down.

“If you ask me, you can’t get more grass roots than smoking pot, but it's very hard to mobilize any of our voting demographic,” said Corey Klinghoffer, 22, of Cleveland, OH. “I mean if we could pull together and the politicians would see that indeed we have some voting bloc clout, then I think we could get something done – but really, that requires work.”

“What are they smoking?” said one Congressional Senator, who claims to have been a casual blunt smoker that never inhaled. “Okay, that's a rhetorical question. But, they really need to get moving on this issue.”

Ken Stone, 39, of Pottsville, PA got into smoking cannabis as part of dealing with life. He thinks it should be legalized but he also thinks NASA should send a manned space craft to one of the universes inside the molecules that make up his pinky.

“Still,” the Congressional Senator source said, “Even if there are millions of these people, no politician would really support their measure. What guarantees would we have they'd even know who they're voting for? They could pull the lever for anybody for any reason and maybe for some really stupid reasons.”

When told of the politician’s comments, Melbourne disagreed:

“How's that different than the way people who don't smoke weed vote?”
