Today, I wonder….— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) April 20, 2020
I always wondered why the word "phonetically" isn't spelled phonetically.

Here are some organizations that are also talking about the cannabis on the holiday:
Leadership Conference of Civil and Human Rights:
On #420day, we have to remember this: Our nation needs a comprehensive, broad, and bold approach to marijuana reform to address the decades of harm faced by communities of color and low-income communities due to failed marijuana policies.
We won’t stop fighting until it happens.
— The Leadership Conference (@civilrightsorg) April 20, 2020

Competitive Enterprise Institute:
Apparently today, 4/20, is some sort of unofficial "marijuana day." Here is a supherb piece from @AdamsJMatthew that goes into the weeds on how Congress can fix the budding legal marijuana banking problem. It really must be a joint House/Senate effort. https://t.co/HnlvRMjD2W
— Competitive Enterprise Institute (@ceidotorg) April 20, 2020
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a federal agency:
It’s 420. Today and every day, make the safe choice – if you need to drive to get essentials – don’t drive impaired. If you feel different, you drive different. #ImpairedDriving #420 pic.twitter.com/mIB5P7e8vN

Planned Parenthood:
"Does marijuana affect how well birth control works?" Get the answer: https://t.co/EeJ4xy7OIQ
— Planned Parenthood (@PPFA) April 20, 2020
ACLU also released a report on Monday, examining the ongoing racial disparities in marijuana enforcement across the U.S., including in states where it’s legal for recreational or medical purposes.
NEW: Today we released a new report showing that in the United States, a Black person is 3.6x more likely to get arrested for marijuana possession than a white person. #420day https://t.co/j8iRvYgSCc
— ACLU (@ACLU) April 20, 2020
It’s past time that we not just legalize marijuana, but do so in a way that tackles racial disparities head-on.
The MORE Act will do just that.
This #420day, tell your representatives to pass the most comprehensive marijuana reform bill in Congress. https://t.co/SD9sOaMExT
