AUSTIN, Texas, April 20, 2010 (WSFB-AC) – What does the celebration of 4/20 have to do with Hitler? Well, nothing. But since Hitler was born on 4/20, and it is well documented that he had quite a little meth and cocaine habit; could a simple drug change to the giggle weed have dramatically altered the course of history?

For many years, Hitler took daily injections of methamphetamine by his personal physician and meth tablets were routinely handed out to the German military. Meth is a drug that never brings out the best qualities in a person. Combine that with an insane dictator…and you have big trouble.  If Adolf had been into the devil’s lettuce, would some of history’s worst human atrocities have ever happened? We will never know but the scenarios are interesting to speculate on.

If cannabis had been handed out to the military as well as taken daily by Hitler, a calm and relaxed society would have existed.

• Love and acceptance for all people would have reigned as well as massive consumption of German chocolate cake.
• The Nazi symbol: A pot leaf and a beer stein, with the saying: Oktoberfest RULES!!!!
• Birkenstocks would most likely have been invented much earlier and been a popular and comfortable alternative to those military boots.
• Interesting mix of German Oompa with Reggae would have created a new type of cultural music.
• The fuehrer greeting the masses of people while eating a large bag of Cheetos and downing a gallon sized bottle of Big Red.
• Adolf’s obnoxious little mustache would have been changed into a long beard and a head full of dreadlocks.
• The salute, “Heil Hitler”…..changed to “High Times”
• Cheech and Chong would have ranked high in the German military for their happy tobaccy experiments.

So consider this scenario today as you celebrate 4/20, on how the tranquil effects of cannabis could have altered our history in a much more profound and loving way ( unless you get some bad skunk weed that makes you really paranoid in which case the thought of Hitler may make you crawl into a closet  and hide).   HAPPY  Smoking!
