pot associated with Hitler and Columbine?

[The Straight Story]

Oh, Please

1. The only association of pot with Hitler that I know of....

was that hilarious Family Guy episode.

So, either they're lying, or they didn't know Family Guy is satire.

Damn scary, either way.

3. They sure pulled that out one of...

The state wouldn't have cared in the slightest about 420 being Hitler's birthday and the date of the Columbine massacre if the number weren't related to cannabis.

4. 420-- stands for 4/20, day Hitler died. Also day of Colombine massacre.

You can't get that license plate anywhere, I bet.

7. 4-20 was his birthday. He died 4-30-45

That's why the skinheads like "420", along with "88" and a bunch of other symbolic stuff.

5. April 20 is Hitler's birthday

hence "420" means Hitler, naturally. Know your dope fiend!

6. Hitler was a pot head? who knew?

and as for Columbine, odd how there was no mention of weapons.

8. Then can we stop recognizing Christmas, which is also associated with the bombing of Hanoi?

For fuck's sake.
