The fateful day of 4/20 is upon us. It’s a time to kick back, light up and trip balls. There are plenty of things that make 4/20, well, 4/20. The Clog has crafted an elegant photo essay to highlight the staple characteristics of 4/20. And no, we weren’t high when we wrote this.

While you may not feel like you’re squinting, just know that you are. As hard as you try, you can’t open your eyes more than two millimeters. Whether that’s from the smoke or the weed is up to you to decide.

“Haha, yeah bro, 4/20!!” It’s easy for the average student to get swept up in the exciting world of drugs even though they aren’t exactly sure what weed is. Don’t worry, Brad, we know you’re with us in spirit.

Even though it’s no longer November, you’ll be seeing smoke everywhere. Like a warm, fuzzy blanket, it’ll envelop you and possibly choke you (and you don’t even need to be the one smoking!) Drink some water and push through!

What’s better than spending time with friends on Memorial Glade? Absolutely nothing, but it is a bit better with some weed. You don’t even need to be an avid smoker to enjoy 4/20! Be like Brad, and just have a good time! It’s not every day that UC Berkeley students have time to get together and have some fun!

With good weed comes a whole lot of feelings. You may feel like you’re on top of the world, and then you’ll remember (somehow) that you have work the next day, which is like 17 hours later, causing you to spiral into a black abyss of cold sweats. But then everything is fine, and you’re laughing again! Ah, the magic of THC.

If you don’t smoke, this will undoubtedly be the highlight of your day. When you’re high, you aren’t always aware of the stupid things you do. But the people around you most definitely do. If you’re one of the ones on the sidelines, you’re in for a day of absolute nonsense.
