WHAT IS THE POINT OF ''FOUR TWENTY''?

I couldn't help but to ask this question. You can't sugarcoat the fact that teenagers my age and even younger do drugs and other things that harm your body. Maybe they do it from peer pressure, or because it makes them feel good or because it is the answer to stress related problems. Personally, I never have and never will do drugs, I believe in a life staying above the influence, a clear mind. Not that I mind other people do it, it's their decision to do so. But I can't help but to shake my head when I see people using drugs to the point where they become a screw up and drop out of high school, it's a sad thing to see. That's why when April 20th rolls around every year, I see people taking pride in doing drugs on this particular day and I can't help but to wonder why. If you do drugs every day, Why is this day in particular such a big deal? I've heard about 18,000 different definitions and I wish I could get the definite reason. Below is a link to several possibilities but I'm just curious about other people's perspectives on this.

  1. I completely agree with you. I really would like to know what is so great about drugs? They are so dangerous and harmful. Why would anyone want to do that to their bodies. And last time I checked, wasn't April 20 Hitler's birthday? That is defiantly nothing to celebrate. I think most people these days see drinking and drugs as the new "cool" thing to do. There's nothing "cool" about it, unless you like messing up your life.

  2. Isn't messed uup to celebrahilter'sbirthday. Well i guesss unless your neo-nazi or something around that area. To be honest I don't get how someobe can claim going drugs is cool.but then again mmost thing considered"cool" can ruin your life. Two of them i I could think of are sex and alchool. I know someone who did drug now they are an addict and they get the drugs anyway they could.
