The First Weedsgiving Revisited

It was about this time last year we unveiled to you, our fortunate fans, the secrets of the long-forgotten holiday, Weedsgiving. In “The First Weedsgiving,” we delighted readers young and old with a timeless tale of peoples coming together to share a very special harvest. Here is the sacred scroll which tells the tale of this much-beloved holiday.

Now I bring to you a brand-new tale that occurred exactly one year after the events described in the scroll. You see, the American Indians, being wise and at one with the earth, knew they should plant the marijuana seeds and thus prepare for seasons to come. The white people, however, smoked up all their crop like fools and had nothing left but spoiled beer when the next winter rolled around. So of course, they came a’knockin’ at the Indians’ door, and in the spirit of giving that they were known to embody, the Indians were nice enough to pass the dutchie. This artist’s rendition portrays the moment when the kindly Indians brought the colonists a bounty of the plant known officially as “the sticky-icky.”

I hope we’ve all learned something today, something about sharing, something about not bogarting your stash. Happy Weedsgiving to all, and to all a good night!
