PHOTOSHOPPED ATHLETES? • KRB 420
Duuuuude!
That is some primo stuff! If there was a contest for the wickedest weed in the world, it would win!
Good news, dopers. Now there is. If you want to give your THC some TLC, to sing a song for your bong and give props to your crops, Cordova is the place to go.
Today, unofficially, is National Weed Day. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m., as well as smoking and celebrating cannabis on the date April 20.
According to Huffington Post, the term dates to the early 1970s, when a group of friends in San Rafael, Calif., would agree to meet after school at 4:20 p.m., and the rest, as they say, is history. What isn"t is this: 420 is not police code for marijuana violations, 420 is not the number of active chemical compounds in marijuana and 420 is Adolf Hitler"s birthday, but that"s not where the tradition comes from.
In honor of 420 day the dopers" Independence Day Cordova police decided to partake in the festivities with a "First Annual Weed-Off." Public Information Officer T.J. Armstrong posted this invitation on Facebook this morning:
"Bring your very best marijuana to the Cordova Police Department, where it"ll be judged in one of several categories:
1. Color
2. Smell
3. Texture
4. Best All Around
There will even be an honorable mention for the largest quantity brought in!
Of course, we"re aware of the dangers of showing off your wonderful specimen in public. It can cause others to become curious, find your home, and possibly steal what you have labored tirelessly for. Your hard work needs to be protected! We don"t want to put you in that predicament, so give us a call and we will be glad to send our judges out to your home to offer a private judging!
If you know someone who has an incredible entry and won"t be able to make it today, you can surprise them by entering for them! Simply send a picture of their plant, along with their name and address, and we"ll be happy to visit with them later. And don"t worry-- we"ll never tell them who nominated them, so you can remain anonymous while doing your great deed, and they can still win prizes! What better a way to honor your green-thumbed neighbor?
You could win free photo shoots, bracelets, and more! You can even qualify for an all-expense paid vacation, with transportation and chauffeur provided to your destination!
Don"t miss out! Come by the Cordova Police Department today, and let"s celebrate 4/20!"
Obviously, Armstrong told AL.com, the contest isn"t for real. "I typed that this morning when I was laying in bed,"" he said. "I posted it and it went viral. We thought it was pretty funny."
It would also be pretty funny, he said, if someone actually fell for it. "We would laugh at them,"" Armstrong said, "and then we"d arrest them."
