In a lot of places where marijuana is still mostly illegal, the punishment for possessing it has been reduced so much that it might as well not even be a crime anymore. … But mere decriminalization means there’s a huge obstacle remaining in the way of anyone who likes to party: you still have to know a guy. Or a girl; I’m no sexist. The point is, if you want to get high in a place that’s still clinging to the idea that doing such a thing is an act worthy of imprisonment, you have to know a person you can call to make that happen.

Even for a normal person looking for something as commonplace as marijuana, this part can be a nearly impossible challenge, unless you’re the Hail Mary type who has no qualms with calling the nearest pizza place and asking to speak with the driver who will be delivering your order as many times as it takes to find one who can make a stop on the way.

Harold & Kumar is the first postmodern stoner film. It gracefully – elegantly, even – evolved with the times. Stoners are no longer outsiders, or suckers, or misanthropes. They’re hardworking doctors, and ambitious kids, and people whose jobs involve “reports” or whatever it is Harold is working on the whole time. Stoners are part of our community.

I also think it’s no coincidence that most stoner movie protagonists are people of color. Bear with me, guys. We got Cheech and Chong, right – a Latino and an Asian American. Outsiders. We got Harold – a Korean. Then Kumar – a Middle Eastern … um. Guy. A Middle Eastern guy. You see where I’m going with this? Outsiders. The oppressed. Hell, one of the running jokes in H&K is that cops love to beat up innocent black people. That’s subversive comedy. Stoner movies are the jeering sidelines of the Civil Rights Movement. I’m telling you, man. Fuck the police.

6 BS Stories That Went Viral: The KKK Loves Black People

#6. A Study Didn’t Prove That Smoking Weed Shrinks Your Brain

By doing that new crazy thing called “reading,” we found out that the study in question was unable to find any definite causality of the changes in chronic pot-smokers’ brains, as they tested them only once. For all we know, the real discovery here is that people with smaller brain parts are more likely to abuse drugs … a theory that is totally backed up by a 2012 study that found that people with a similar brain condition at the age of 12 were more likely to end up getting high on funny plant farts.

4 Minor Flaws That Will Make Me Boycott a Store for Life

#3. Buying Local Should Never Mean Smelling Like Patchouli

Every year, on whatever weekend falls closest to 4/20 (surprise!), the people of this country are pressured into supporting their local, independent record stores by way of an event called, fittingly enough, Record Store Day. That’s cool, but have you seen the prices at those places? Best Buy didn’t run 95 percent of them out of business for nothing. Still, that’s not a great thing, either, so you should totally lend a hand when you can by supporting some bullshit little store like that. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you’re looking for a good reason to keep buying all your music online), lots of these independent record stores just amount to head shops with a music section.

#6. Some Cops Are Embarrassingly Ignorant About Marijuana

For instance, in Kansas, police noticed some suspicious plants in the backyard of a former mayor, decided it must be pot, and got a warrant to raid that shit. Keep in mind, to get said warrant they had to photograph the suspicious plants, show them to a prosecutor, who got a search warrant from a judge – everyone agreed the plants had to be cannabis. The cops showed up to raid the home of the senior citizens and found the plants to be … sunflowers. But hey, you can’t blame the cops in Kansas for not recognizing their official state flower. It’s not like they have it at the top of their state flag or anything …
