Chronicles Of The Toots Man: Four Twenty

Posted by Hard To Offend on April 20, 2011 – 4:20 am

Why do I still care, right? As if any of us really need some special day to celebrate the fact that we are potheads. HA! I don’t know what it is. I don’t give a fuck about Valentine’s day or any of those other fabricated holidays. It seems almost immature and childish to get excited about 4:20. As if the past ten years of my life have been anything but a permanent 4:20. Am I proud? Not at all. Am I ashamed of it? Even less. It’s just something I enjoy doing like graff and pussy.

I never really understood what 4:20 is or where it comes from. I heard some mooks speculating once, saying that it started in Cali when a group of teens who called themselves the Waldos used it as a code. Probably on some shit like “4:20 after school…Same place same time”. Who would have thought that it would blow up in to a world wide phenomenon with millions of loyal participants? It would make sense because more often than not, potheads follow some sort of ritual when smoking herb. This is something common to so many of us therefore we can all relate to 4:20.

As a result, each year on April 20th at 4:20PM, thousands of mooks flock to Parc Mont-Royal to celebrate the holiest day of them all. It looks something like this…

Yup, just a bunch of excited teenagers wasting tons of weed in public with no fear of getting arrested or juxed. I would say that about 92.5% of the people who attend this jam are 100% mooks.

Look at them hungry eyes beaming at the spliff. That’s the type of look a girl gives your cock right before giving you a vicious blow job.

Fuck yeah maaaan. Cool bong braaaaahh.

The pot culture in Montreal is thriving. After April 20th and on every Sunday during the summer months, this ritual repeats itself, growing bigger and bigger as the Sundays get warmer with time.

When April 20th hits on a Sunday, people go apeshit. I recall things getting out of hand and epic mookness manifesting from all angles. One of the first times I ever hung out with Killa-EF was at a four twenty celebration on one of them wild Sundays. After all of the smoking and drinking we got the killer munchies and headed down to the McDonald’s on the corner of Mont-Royal and Parc. Back then, it was one of our rituals. On that particular day, they wouldn’t serve EF because he was rocking his roller-blades inside the restaurant. He kindly asked them to make an exception and let him purchase a god damn Big Mac so that he could eat it outside but they refused and asked him to leave in a manner that got us upset. Moments later I remember Chepe’s super-sized Coke smashing against the order menu behind the counter. All hell broke loose and mooks was throwing chairs left and right. Oath took it a step further when he hurled a gigantic McDonald’s garbage bag right at the manager and employees who stood frozen in shock, looking hopeless as fuck while we tore that bitch up. I have this clear, slow motion instant replay of that bag blowing up in 3D like a fucking piñata covering everyone and their mother with McDonald’s waste. Other than a few memorable stunts pulled on 4:20, all that I remember from those events is getting extremely high and eating chicken from Romados.

Marijuana and food is one of the most successful marriages of all time. I like the whole process of getting the weed, rolling it, sharing it, enjoying it, getting hungry, taking forever to decide what to eat and ultimately smashing some sort of meal at the end of it all.

This next post is dedicated to all of my die hard fellow pot smokers and their rituals. To all the motherfuckers who still get excited when they spark a spliff right on 4:20. To all you tokers out there who are convinced that food tastes better when you’re high. To all the mooks that blaze daily and will travel across town just to fulfill their munchie fantasies. Whether you rock a bong with the Skittles and BBQ chips combo or you go all out with 30$ salad blunts and hit up Au Pied De Cochon, this one is for you. Happy 4:20.

Way too stoned and lazy to write any captions or give you any type of real information other than the obvious truth. If anybody has questions about the food spots, just hit the comments. Enjoy 4:20. See you on the mountain.

The most plausible explanation I got for 4:20 is :

During the Vietnam war, the generals would meet at 4:30 to regroup and think of strategies and shit. This meant no superiors for the soldiers starting at 4:20. The soldiers could smoke weed without being bothered by anyone.

Kinda makes sense… I guess we’ll never know

I remember that incident at McDonalds, I went to the bathroom and when I came back EF was grabbing the manager by his tie and yelling in his face. Once that drink hit the menu and exploded over the employees shit just got outta hand.Good times…

420Lova, those are the best chicken fingers I ever had. Made from fresh non frozen chicken breasts strips. The salad, not so much. The spot is called B&M in NDG.

Jenny, the stems are my homies. He makes tea out of them. Dude is a bigger pothead than me. Shout out to Yan.

Yo Dan One, waddap homie? Been a while dude. Holler at your boy.

WhassuP with the snakes y dont u bit it up i think u waste that hash or do u have a trick to smoke it good?
13. Hard To Offend Said：

It depends on the hash. Sometimes it’s easier to roll a snake specially if its just a small piece of hash. No trick, just got to make sure that the snake is well covered with weed or tobacco or both. If the snake is not right in the middle of the salad it might fuck up your spliff. If you get it right it smokes well and nothing gets wasted.

There are two of them. One in Mo-west and one on St-Laurent between Bernard and Laurier. The spot is called BurgerDeville. Fresh non frozen home made burgers for like 5$. The spot is mad official.
