April 20th has represented an opportunity for potheads from all generations, races, creeds, and backgrounds to come together and celebrate God\u2019s greatest gift to mankind. For many stoners on campus, however, 4\/20 represents more than just a holiday: it\u2019s the culmination of the 364 days of celebratory preparation\u00a0that precede it.<\/p>\n
The case has been no different for UChicago\u2019s own cannabis habitu\u00e9s, as kush-heads and philosophy majors alike have been persistently packing, puffing, and passing every day for the past year, eager to partake in another forgettable 4\/20. While Danksgiving occurs during 4th<\/sup> Week, the slew of impending midterms and papers will surely not be enough to stop dedicated marijuana enthusiasts from focusing on what is truly important in their lives.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year, I\u2019m treating the days leading up to 4\/20 like the eight days of Hanukkah, lighting one more J for each day that passes,\u201d said one surprisingly articulate student. \u201cThen again, I probably treat every day like the days leading up to 4\/20.\u201d<\/p>\n While this may be the case for this individual, the importance of the date has not been lost among most marijuana enthusiasts. \u201cIt\u2019s a special day for all stoners,\u201d said another red-eyed and dry-mouthed student. \u201cIt\u2019s our version of the Super Bowl. Holy shit, super bowl\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n A nearby first year student added, \u201cI don\u2019t know how else I would have made it through my Humanities core requirements.
