Local Man Celebrates 4/20 By Doing Exact Same Thing He’s Done Every Day For Past Year

By Scott Slute

Etobicoke - Although the province of Ontario is in it’s third province-wide shutdown since the COVID-19 pandemic, 29 year old Derek Stone tells us that won’t have any impact on him celebrating 4/20 by sitting on his couch smoking weed alone all day, an activity he’s been doing every day since March 15th. 

“I’m not gonna let this new lockdown stop me from living my best life,” said Stone, a former Lush Cosmetics assistant manager who has been laid off since last March, “For sure I was bummed when I didn’t get asked to come back to work last summer, but honestly being on EI has let me focus on what’s important to me,” Stone continued while taking a bong rip.

After getting high, Mr Stone plans to spend the afternoon playing Call of Duty: Warzone online with his friends.

“Once my next EI payment comes through, I think I’m gonna get the new Xbox. This year has been pretty tough for all of us, so I think it’s important to treat ourselves every once in a while.” 

His 4/20 dinner plans include ordering something from Burrito Boyz or Burger’s Priest through Uber Eats, although he said it will likely be Burger’s Priest because he’s already ordered a lot of burritos this week 

“Or actually maybe pad thai because I haven’t had that in a while and I wanna help support the Asian community because I seen online a lot of people being real racist to them recently and that sucks,” he said in a followup statement regarding his dinner. 

Stone wanted to remind everyone that the only way to help stop COVID-19 was to stay at home and not go to the park even though today is a really, really nice day. 

“Bro my last name is Stone so you like, know that the universe wants me do this,” Mr Stone told us, before staring at his phone for 17 minutes sending Snapchats to his friends.
