who am I to deny the kid a try / At nature's little way of sayin' hi?

so go ahead and pass the bowl to your pre-schooler. At least it's not
crack.
“Hits From the Bong,” Cypress Hill

“I Smell Smoke,” Mystikal
Key lyric: Fuck I just went to jail for that shit / I ain't goin
back, I done ate an ounce, and I'm a flush the rest / Cuz I ain't going
out like that

celebrating this holiday, you most likely celebrate it every day. So be
proud.
