4/20

Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

So yesterday was 4-20. That may seem like just another day for many but if you are in tune with cannabis, Marijuana, Pot, Erb, Ganja culture it is actually national pot day. 4-20 is originally based on the time 4:20 p.m. where within the weed sub-culture it is the time where after a long days work you light up a joint to finish the work day. It is celebrated all around the world as a sign of unity and strength of the pot movement; and really lots of smokers will intentionally light up at that time for the purpose of being a part of something bigger than just themselves. because April 20th is 4-20 that is the day chosen by smokers to have a pot sit in of sorts in their local cities. Some places have as many as 20,000 people all come together and light up. The local law enforcement can't do much as there is such a show of numbers. It is also movements like this that have shaped the mainstream thinking of Pot as a relative harmless drug i.e. if 25,000 people are smoking it in the open it can not be that bad!

I was thinking what the spiritual significance of a prayer movement with this kind of boldness and tenacity could have. Not to say there are not currently huge prayer movements within the body of Christ, cause there are, but imagine one with such unity and strength of numbers. I mean far more people pray every single day than people who smoke pot, I hope, so just imagine if on say on 9/20 every Christian converged on their local urban front and began to pray out loud and read scripture. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The earth would surely be shaken!

Amen!
