[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 43.
A couple years ago my friend mentioned 4/20 and lo and behold - I had no idea what it was![/quote]

I'm 54, and only figured that out about 4-5 years ago.  I don't partake, never have - so that's likely why.  Not condemning those who do partake, btw.[/quote]
I grew up in another country, so I guess that’s why. I have tried it when I was young though. [/quote]
