Hilarious Things El Pasoans Told Us They Did While High

April 20 – aka 4/20 – is the official holiday of stoners everywhere.

It's a day for weed enthusiasts to pay homage to the cannabis plant by kicking back and chilling away life’s stresses. And by that, I mean blazing a J, toking it up, smoking a fatty, puffin’ the green, or whichever way you say smoking weed without actually saying you smoke weed.

The thing about sparking up, though, is that it has been known to affect your decision-making abilities. Sometimes to hilarious results.
