you need to basically release the THC to be digestible by heating in
oil or infusing in alcohol (or some variation of that scheme) just
eating nugs won't get you high.
People don't even know why they have a big pine tree in their
house every Christmas either, but they still get presents! Don't
stare the gift horse in the mouth.
As I said.. If it were a paid holiday.. Americans probably would
celebrate. Jewish Americans would probably be celebrating, holding
concentration camp re-enactments, Blacks and Homosexuals would
probably participate as well. Kinda like the South re-enacts battles
from the American Civil War showing how the North kicked their ass.
However, it is not a paid holiday.. so we could care less who's
damn birthday it is.
