6. It's always 4:20 for Pearly Sweetcake

THE SMOKE-OFF
by Shel Silverstein

Now in the laid-back California town of sunny San Rafael
Lived a girl named Pearly Sweetcake–you probably knew her well
She was stoned 15 of her 18 years, and her story was widely told
That she could smoke 'em faster than anyone could roll....

Is is only a coincidence the 4:20 meme originated in San Rafael?

7. OMG... just in time for 4/20 day..

Husband's brother from e. coast hid a little jar of the good stuff in Mom's backyard. He imbibes when he flies in for visits. We've imbibed a time or two as well....

Flash forward: fundie sister-in-law and family decide to do Easter Egg Hunt in mom's backyard this year... you see where this is going!

CRAP! Grandma is irrationally virulently opposed to (doesn't understand) marijuana! She discloses to ME (why me? I'm only related through marriage! ) in a call yesterday that a jar of marijuana was found during the Egg Hunt and was quite the topic of conversation to close out the day!!! She says she doesn't know if it's one of her kids or someone else!!!! We don't want to scare her that strangers are stashing pot in her yard... we email and text brother with some great ideas (we thought..he didn't seem to agree. Such as: some of his doctor friends told him it's really good for back pain. ... ).

Basically he blamed it on the lawn guys!!!!!!!!

OH CRAP! HOPE WE CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT SOME DAY!!!!

8. That's funny

A neighbor where we used to live was talking to this old lady who lived down the street. They were talking about how beautiful her yard was. The older lady invited her into her backyard. It was spectacular. Her nephew took care of it for her. Our neighbor was just looking around when she spotted some different plants in each corner of the fenced in yard.

Perfect cover.

10. It is funny in a way, but

it feels very sad and stressful.

Grandma just doesn't accept or understand the legitimacy of marijuana (legal in my state). Also, she is quite isolated right now and we are really struggling to keep her spirits up. I know SHE doesn't think it's funny and she probably doesn't believe the excuse. Also, now she will doubt / be afraid of her lawn guys! If she thinks it's one of her sons, she will lose faith in them, also.

When I was about 20, in about 1975, I had just gotten home from being out on, as I recall, New Year's Eve. As a little hippie, I had on my denim overalls and waffle stompers. I remember checking in to say hi to my parents, who were watching TV. A friend was with me. I had a joint in the pouch pocket on the front top of my overalls.

I had such open communication with my folks I pulled out the joint to ask if they wanted to try it. THIS WAS 1975-ish! My mom giggled and deferred; my dad took a toke and said it reminded him of the Turkish cigarettes he smoked during WWII while stationed in Egypt!

So, a little different background...

All that said, I ADORE my mother-in-law, and she is a staunch Democrat. Honestly, I don't think a lot of her positions are, but there is something in her DNA (union family) that keeps her in the light!
