Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that re-imagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview different guests about the topics they’re most passionate about. 

This week I wanted to focus my attention on the mystery behind the origin of the worldwide unofficial stoner holiday known as 4/20. I also dive into the the economic and medicinal benefits of marijuana legalization. Being that this entire month of April is technically 4/20, what better day than 4.20.20 to talk about the history of 4/20 and where the cannabis plant stands in a few countries.
