It's April 20th, otherwise known as "4/20,” the day everybody in the world chills out, unbuttons his suit jacket and rolls a fatty made of ganja.

Well, not everybody does this, but there's a subsection of potheads in the world who wish the earth was a collective joint-smoking peace factory. Today is also Hitler's birthday, so I excuse anyone who needs to get high in order to forget about his existence.

How important is 4/20? Very, at least to marketers of Marley, a new documentary on Bob Marley – it's being released today, perhaps in hopes that there are stoned people who will want to learn. Which is not my experience, but maybe worth a shot.

It's definitely not something I'd like to do – drug use makes me want to sleep. Unless it's an upper, in which case I immediately get the urge to varnish a floor.

I wish 8/40 were a date, because I want to see the Bob Marley movie that far away from today.

Excuse me for meandering; it is 4/20 after all. So, spark it up, take a pull of that sticky icky, and hope that you don't talk to your parents today. Because that will feel weird.
