Hii ni ya watu wazima na sio watoto…before verse toa Mary Jane🍁🍁 shika na mkono..(Magix Enga,2019) haha…i feel like asking Dr. Sichangi Kama nimereference vizuri haha😂😂..So today marking 420 here goes a revolution against Stivo Simple Boy’s notion “Vijana tuwache mihadarati” haha we have all the time nways, or do we?🤔
Mihadarati, Bhangi🙊…Loord here in
Kenya your children call your plant a lot of not good names and di polis
😒😒…..story for another day. So now that y’all in quarantine and
netflixing and other crazy shit I see on soshi,
#letHuddaMonroebe..punani ni yake!🙄..as for Xtian Dela, issa free world
yoh!🤔
Nways with the world outchea ending like no one’s business, my fat ass decided to challenge myself on writing about the national cannabis holiday 420 and it’s meaning. So let’s nduthis..Get your mind off the Rona for a minute.😋
Come on…first of all they say wear masks and shit😷. Na watu wako na lungs za snoop dogg itabidi mmejikaza kubreathe
under the masks😂😂…But for this conversation lesbionest and put the
hypothetical masks off ..let’s all have a real talk here.🌚 According to
research Kenya makes top 10 list of highest weed consuming countries in
Africa with 3.3 million marijuana users ,,,so I’m prolly talking to
them plus the critics but definitely not the plesdent.👻
#100READERSCHALLENGE! 🥳Mtawezana??🌚
I did some digging to understand the
origin of the word 420 and the cannabis holiday as well. Turns out it
was worth it..mbikos folks, it is a very interesting story..😋
Sons, It all goes back to 1971 with
five high school students from San Rafael high school in Carlifonia
namely Steve Capper, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, Dave Reddix and Mark
Gravich named as the ‘waldos’ mbikos they yustu hang out on a wall
outside the school. They chose the 1940 Loius Pasteur Statue as their
meeting place where they would partake the devil’s spinach 🍁🍁at 4:20
PM when their extracurricular activities had ended.🤪
Anyways so later Reddix’s brother
introduced him to a certain band as a roadie and this is where he
continued to popularize the number 420 . So one day in Oakland, in 1990 a
group of singers were handing flyers to people to shmoke at 4:20, one
flyer lands on a former reporter of the High Times magazine. The
magazine printed the flyer and the number grew famous, soon known world
wide as the shashamane code. In 1998 the Waldos were recognized as
“inventors” of 4️⃣2️⃣0️⃣( haha shmoke every time I mention 4️⃣2️⃣0️⃣)
Fun
fact I learnt is that 420 road sign posts are oftenly stolen
😂😂..ngesema izo avenues but about 80% of us hear those cities in
movies so google.😌 Another fun fact is that the dial-code for Czech
Republic is 420 and even though cannabis is illegal there, people smoke
weed like crazy!!😆
Washington D.C ‘S mayor Muriel Bowser
was granted a plate number 420 for succeeding in legalizing weed in that
state.🤔.same thing shoulda been done to the late former MP Ken Okoth👏
for his efforts to legalize mary jane for medication purposes in a
country where the society judges with keen eyes…simrelax chuarry! Hamskii ii shyet ni world wide? Haha.
Majuu they have international days for
weed related protests and events mainly termed as ‘civil disobedience’
but they do it anyway. Try doing that in Kenya utakula viboko nanii? ..😂😂🗑️🗑️Sad
thing is how the law is harsh against this plant in Kenya given the
fines and jail sentences for possession and shit but the law is the
law😷. Amen. Gengetone.💕 Amen. 270 confirmed million wamebaki. 😓Amen.
So my research didn’t stop there
either, I decided to do something called sijui what sampling.😂 Asked
around to know why people really consume cannabis and concluded that📝; a
larger percentage of people shmoke for relief purposes as compared to
fun purposes…or it at least starts as fun . I mean if Tom got in this
bad car accident and it involved a lot of trauma and never really got
over it and needs to medicate who are you to say don’t? (Not that Tom
did) However, some people still do it fi di culture😊 with others being
just peer pressure..
Everyone was like screw what the society or other people think..they have this , “aye, we brought our drums and this is how we dance … if you do not like our 808’s then, leave us alone 🤷cause we don’t need your policies, we, have no apologies for being.” …Alessia Cara typa attitude. But I know they smart asses and stay low-key and outta trouble.😌
As a youth therapist haha I would say
the most important thing in this life is control. Being in control and
owning your shit is important.💯💯.So the question about whether people
are in control of their smoking goes like there’s a number that is in
control but a larger group was not in control…for this reason I’d like
to advise pot smokers around the world that issokay y’all can calm down
y’all’s demons but make sure you stay aware of yourself and in
control..not the joint controlling you…💌 Everything is about mindset
…tell yourself you’re pretty and in control.💋
Is no kidding that after some period
of use, weed might become a necessity 🤢but atleast y’all convinced me
that you can stay without use. Good.But
then came to confuse me further by saying y’all ain’t quitting soon
tho🤔…But I gerit … it’s called the connection you have with the
plant🤗…Mwana wefue si mnapenda nduku!🤯🍁💯
Come on don’t look at me like dat,
🥴your hounor ⚖️weed is all over gengetone media and other media so the
people have fi know…and plus, if I don’t document it, it will be like
ignoring what is really infront of our faces as society all for clout
but mama don’t do no clout..🤐
Uuuu…Sasa twende Basi next topic!! Ushaifanya stingo adi yeye akacopy?
Aaaa sorreee I meant to say the next topic was about side effects which
most peeps hit the ignore button (p.s I’m also many people)
#IAin’tNoJesus😷..but also some mind the side effects..It’s important to
know what you’re taking. At least we can all agree meditations are
meditations no bad thought on that..😌
Speaking of meditations, I became curious to know what each of them had meditated about the Chinese Virus.
Soree I meant the Rona virus😢.(.Yes we’re back to the Elephant in the
room).Looordt! si I long for the day I’ll stop typing the Cory virus on
dis blog. Amen🥵. So half have not thought about the pandemic, Good for
y’all but half + one have thought about it so I was like what do you
think then? Sons, it’s bad.. just obey the ten commandments!…😿

Lastly there was the question that is
in the mind of every hustler rynnow, Fight Corona or fight hunger? 🥵So
according to the anecdotic ‘research’ I did, most of the respondents
chose to fight the Rona but still go to work while ensuring to observe
the rules. Well, si ni life.🤷
Seeing that the Rona has left millions
around 189 million people(and counting) jobless around the world, yoh!
If only employers could atleast try to heed what C.S Kagwe told them the
other day, to atleast give their workers on unpaid leave a minimum
kakitu to support their basic needs especially rent 😣.I mean fi di
love..🥺🥺
But at the same time, kudos and much
appreciation to leaders and organizations that have come up with means
of aiding the country and globally during these tricky times..
👏🙌starting with the former P.M Hon. Raila Odinga and friends doing a
good work in kibra and other towns in the CBD, Mr Jack Ma for helping
African countries with masks, detection kits, protective clothing etc,
Companies like superfoam mattress
company for donating special mattresses to govt hospitals, Devki Steel
Mills for pledging Oxygen masks worth 100 million, Cooperative bank,
Amfref Health Africa, Mr Jimmy Wanjigi, Sonko rescue team,Bidco company,
Bill gates foundation, Kenya Breweries and AKOTHEE FOUNDATION just to
mention a few..Sir Jah awabless and protect.#THANKYOU💌💚🖤
Speaking
of recognition, si genge la bundoksi wapewe Konyagi na mali Safi kwa
bill yangu? Plus a share of the 200 million the prezzo was talking
about.😻😻😻😻😻
On the issue of face masks, it might
take a while before we all adjust to this new culture but we have no
choice, preferred masks are N-95 masks and surgical masks but home made
masks are preferred since they’re washable. Whichever, whatever ,
however and whenever just put on a bloody mask in public.😷
Haha I low-key love C.S Dr. Magoha for
his Savage comments all the time…saying no postoment of national exams
yet and parents should see what other parents and their children in
other countries are doing.🤨.Online classes….heee thank God I ain’t in
session, I’m sure ngeboeka na izo online classes..my friend told me the
other day that they have to listen to a calculus audio then read the
notes later…weee! Ngorry!🙆😂😂
Message of hope from Queen Elizabeth the second and me too is that we shall overcome Cory.😊
It is encouraging to see young minds
like the K.U students coming up with innovative ways to battle the
virus,😃 of course my campus is involved too. Yes I’m a proud soon to be
alumni of Dedan Kimathi University of Technology and I don’t say.😂😂
Talk of universities, Odi wa Murang’a unatuchocha tulegalize it then tena unauliza research tumefikisha wapi??? Chorea bana tuko uchago.🙄
Same same K.U students once did a mock
bill on the legalization of marijuana in the country saying it being
illegal has not stopped it’s use…so why not legalize and use it in
controlled measures….mmmh, not bad, smart kids we got there.😌
Anyways, legal or not…I can say I agree with Steve De Angelo, an activist from California that, and I quote, ” Even if our activist work were complete, 420 comes from a statement of conscience to a celebration of acceptance, a celebration of Victory, a celebration of our amazing connection with this plant, and it will always be worthy of celebration”😌….ebu nidim io kolo Sasa..tudduus!😂❣️❣️
