Willie Nelson calls on Biden to recognize 4/20 as a national marijuana holiday
Fox News
Willie Nelson is calling on President Joe Biden to make the unofficial marijuana holiday of April 20 a national week of celebrating cannabis.
"The fine people of Luck, Texas, and supporters of the great Willie Nelson, on behalf of cannabis users around the nation, are writing today to ask you to consider declaring the 9 days spanning April 20 to April 29 an official national holiday: the 'High Holidays,'" the petition, addressed to Biden and the United States Congress, reads. Although the petition comes somewhat in jest, it notes that its real goal is less about kicking off a national holiday for pot-smoking enthusiasts and more about starting a conversation about ending the negative perception that surrounds cannabis and weed culture.More Related News
