3 things you shouldn’t be doing this 4/20
- using a bic.
- using a clipper.
- using a zippo.
using a torch lighter from the kitchen drawer. using that one lighter that’s been in the junk drawer since 2019 that only works if you hold it at a 45 degree angle and flick it exactly 3 times. using the stove. using a magnifying glass like some kind of wilderness survivor. using two sticks and determination. asking a stranger for a light. asking a friend for a light. asking my mom for a light (she’d say yes btw that’s not the point). borrowing a light and forgetting to give it back. borrowing a light and giving it back like a liar. buying a 12 pack of lighters and losing all of them in 48 hours. pretending i don’t have a lighter so someone else offers theirs. lighting it off a candle like it’s a romantic evening. lighting it off another joint like some kind of chain smoking philosopher. lighting it off a birthday cake. waiting for lightning. rubbing my hands together really fast and hoping for the best. using the car lighter that no car has had since 2007. being productive. going to the gym. answering emails. pretending today is a normal day. it’s not a normal day. the microwave said so. the car said so. my phone said so. happy 420 to everyone who understood this without needing an explanation. if you know you know. if you don’t know you’re about to find out. see you on the other side of this reel 🌿”
