4:20 – A Time for Community and Cannabis Culture

As the clock strikes 4:20, a unique moment unfolds across the globe—a communal pause that brings together enthusiasts and advocates of cannabis. This time, and the date April 20th, have become synonymous with cannabis culture, representing a daily and annual tradition of celebration, relaxation, and advocacy.

The Origins of 4:20

The story of 4:20 begins in the early 1970s in California, where a group of high school students known as the "Waldos" would meet at 4:20 pm to search for an elusive, abandoned cannabis crop. The term "420" became their code for their quest and eventually, for cannabis itself. Fast forward to today, and 4:20 has transcended its humble beginnings to become a global phenomenon.

What Does 4:20 Mean Today?

For many, 4:20 is a time to enjoy cannabis and connect with friends. It's a moment to step back from the daily rush and stress, to share stories, laughter, and the experience of cannabis in all its forms.

The Significance of Cannabis Culture

Cannabis culture is not just about consumption; it's about community, knowledge, and respect for the plant. It embraces the medicinal benefits of cannabis, the artistry of its cultivation, and the richness of its history.

Celebrating Responsibly

As cannabis gains legal status in more regions, 4:20 also serves as a reminder to consume responsibly, to educate oneself on the laws and effects of cannabis, and to advocate for the rights of consumers and patients worldwide.

Conclusion

Whether you're part of the cannabis community or simply curious about this cultural cornerstone, 4:20 is a time that encourages us to reflect on the role that cannabis plays in society and in our lives. It's a call to educate, to celebrate, and to advocate for a future where the benefits of cannabis are accessible to all who need them.

Cannabis and The Financial System

While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
