Who Was There?
According to Moonalice legend, August 2 is known as Prohibition Day. On this day in 1937, the Marihuana Tax Act was passed, essentially rendering hemp and all its byproducts illegal. As usual, the tribe was caught completely off guard. They were paying no attention to Washington. When the Feds showed up, the entire hemp crop was still in the field, a month from harvest. It was a bud bath. Most of the tribe was rounded up. When 4:20 came and went on the first day without the ritual Smoke Out, the tribe began to see that its way of life was over. Most of the tribe was sent into the desert to pound sand. A few brave ones escaped and went underground, waiting for the moment when the Moonalice tribe would rise again. Ever since, August 2nd has been a day of contemplation. A day to prepare for the end of Hemp Prohibition. A day for consuming mass quantities. Every member of the tribe must do his or her duty.

According to Moonalice legend, if it ain't broke, don't get excited. Just give it to George Bush. He'll break it.
