While there is some debate over the Origins of 420. We shouldn't argue that here. Instead I'd like to find out how you discovered 420 and what is was like the first time you celebrated.
I celebrated 420 in 2006 for the first time.There was this abandoned house near my high school, from the civil war era (beautiful, somewhat creepy), we'd been breaking into it for a long time and fixing it up hoping to get a squatters claim perhaps.
ANYWAYS.
For 420 we first went to the grocer and picked up chipss, sandwich stuff, fruit juice, fruit, and candy. We set candles around the living room area, particularly in the fire place. We closed the outside shutters and had a battery powered radio and LOTS of CD's. We toked it up most of the afternoon while dancing around to music, playing hide and seek (while high in a creepy old house, its SOOOOO fun), Continuing cleaning, decorating and painting the old walls and chasing each other with an ancient fire extingusher (it blew out THICK clouds of dust).
That house holds some of the best times of my life. <3
Again, Happy 420!
My friend Milan is taking the photo so he wasn't in it. =[
