As of April 2022, **18 states,** including Washington, D.C., had legalized recreational marijuana. Twelve of these states did so through citizen-initiated legislation, six were passed by state legislatures and signed into law by governors, and one was legalized through a constitutional amendment submitted by the legislature. In addition, 13 states have decriminalized recreational marijuana use. In these states, cannabis remains illegal, but instead of first-time offenders receiving jail time, they are fined. It is estimated that nearly half of all Americans live in a jurisdiction where recreational cannabis is legal. > En abril de 2022, **18 estados,** incluido Washington D.C., habían legalizado la marihuana con fines recreativos. Doce de ellos lo hicieron mediante iniciativas ciudadanas, seis fueron aprobados por las legislaturas estatales y promulgados por los gobernadores, y uno mediante una enmienda constitucional remitida por la legislatura. Además, trece estados han despenalizado el consumo recreativo de marihuana. En estos estados, el cannabis sigue siendo ilegal, pero en lugar de que los infractores primerizos reciban penas de cárcel, se les impone una multa. Se estima que casi la mitad de los estadounidenses reside en una jurisdicción donde el cannabis recreativo es legal. Of course, there are still many US states where marijuana is illegal and punishable by jail time. These states include **Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.** There are various stories about the origin of 420 Day. Some claim it was originally a police radio code meaning "marijuana use in progress." However, most of these stories are false and just clever explanations invented by some people, probably under the influence of cannabis. > Por supuesto, todavía hay muchos estados de EE.UU. donde la marihuana es ilegal y se castiga con penas de cárcel.

Existen diversas historias sobre el origen del Día 420. Algunos afirman que originalmente era un código de radio policial que significaba "consumo de marihuana en curso". Sin embargo, la mayoría de estas historias son falsas y solo explicaciones ingeniosas inventadas por algunas personas, probablemente bajo los efectos del cannabis. ***Some slang terms used today to refer to marijuana:*** Mary Jane, Weed, Grass, Pot, Jacket, Skunk, Aunt Mary, Devil's lettuce Weed, and Chronic Grass.

Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our 'Family Time' to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting **6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST**. We always try to have a little fun and and if you're paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn't all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it's about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them. > Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro 'Tiempo en familia' para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de **6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST**. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos. It just may be worth your time to [visit the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) and come check us out. Unlike the 'Addams Family' shows, all of this is live, unrehearsed and not recorded before any audience. Funny things happen. Sad things happen. Smiles and tears get shared. Worries and hopes are passed around. Sometimes, we even eat #pizza, cake and ice cream. Sometimes, we watch movies. Sometimes, giant insects attack the microphones and we have to get out our silly swatters and smack 'em up so we have something to snack on because the popcorn got eaten already by little slugs that left slimy trails everywhere and made the sidewalks slippery so that the pancakes didn't get enough traction on our canoes to steer the spaceships. Exactly. > Puede que valga la pena dedicar tiempo a [visitar el castillo](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) y venir a vernos. A diferencia de los shows de 'La Familia Addams', todo esto es en vivo, sin ensayar y no grabado ante ninguna audiencia. Suceden cosas divertidas. Suceden cosas tristes. Se comparten sonrisas y lágrimas. Se transmiten preocupaciones y esperanzas. A veces, incluso comemos #pizza, tarta y helado. A veces vemos películas. A veces, los insectos gigantes atacan los micrófonos y tenemos que sacar nuestros tontos matamoscas y golpearlos para tener algo de comer porque las palomitas de maíz ya se las comieron pequeñas babosas que dejaron rastros viscosos por todas partes y dejaron las aceras resbaladizas para que los panqueques no tuvieran suficiente tracción en nuestras canoas para dirigir las naves espaciales. Exactamente. https://youtu.be/olucW6ar6Q0
