Happy 4/20 from all of us at MPR!



Someday after the revolution comes, 4/20 will be an official holiday. Today a mostly informal observation of the world's favorite illegal narcotic, MPR sees a future on the horizon not too far from now when stoners will await the Magic Rastafari to manifest himself through bong smoke in living rooms throughout the world, exchanging good tidings and good stuff before settling down to a huge dinner. At about 10:30 a.m.

Someday after the revolution comes, 4/20 will be an official holiday. Today a mostly informal observation of the world's favorite illegal narcotic, MPR sees a future on the horizon not too far from now when stoners will await the Magic Rastafari to manifest himself through bong smoke in living rooms throughout the world, exchanging good tidings and good stuff before settling down to a huge dinner. At about 10:30 a.m.

Put this down on your shopping list: Captain Joint, an officially recognized High Times freedom fighter, has lent his likeness to the John C. Bunn Trust's prospective "Legalize Marijuana Bobblehead Dolls." Under the guideline of the Captain's ethos "Learn whle you burn," the bobbleheads are touted as educational, as the "Colorful Collector Box comes decorated with Educational Web Sites and Drug War Facts."

Proclaimed Captain Joint triumphantly, "If Tommy Chong could make millions on making stoners look stupid, I should do OK making us look smart! It is time to break free of that stupid stoner stereotype and show the world what we got!"

Advance orders ($25 US, $30 Can.) are now being accepted at CaptainJoint@yahoo.com or by calling 207.965.2341.

Also of note on this holiest of holy days is a nice piece over at a website called G4TV.com. Entitled "The Highest People of All-Time," this might be a nice little traffic-grabber today; a funny bit despite the cheesy choice at no. 1.

O, partiers, take note: Surely the fuzz is wise to the, ahem, rituals undertaken on the holiday. So drive carefully - and by "drive," MPR means, "stow your bag." The, 4/20 T.J. Hooker Discreet Criminal of the Month award goes to fuzzy-headed Johnny Lerma of Mandan, N.D.

County police pulled Lerma's vehicle over because of visible overheating. Turns out Lerma had "a bag of marijuana shoved against the vehicle's air intake, which was causing the car to overheat." Though the amount on Lerma was undisclosed, he is charged with felony possession with intent to deliver. Dude...

So while you're enjoying the company of like-minded mellow friends at this festive time, spare a thought for the less fortunate souls like Lerma, would you?

Happy holidays!
