April 20th, known in these parts as 4/20, has long been celebrated as a holiday in smokey circles throughout this fine country, but in reality for cannabis users, one day just isn't enough. In fact, for us, the “High Holidays” begin on 4/20 and end on 4/29, the birthday of the legendary Willie Nelson. 

The fine people of Luck, Texas, and supporters of the great Willie Nelson, on behalf of cannabis users around the nation, are writing today to ask you to consider declaring the 9 days spanning April 20 to April 29 an official national holiday: the “High Holidays.”

We believe that recognition of the “High Holidays” opens the door to much needed dialogue supporting the many benefits of cannabis while helping to remove the unjustified stigmas currently surrounding this amazing plant.

Please puff, puff, and pass this to your friends in Congress for consideration. When you do, reflect on the immortal words of Willie:

“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?" – Willie Nelson
