Cheech and Chong are our Patron Saints

"I prefer to celebrate Halloweed."
As a teenager, The Chemical Buddha broke with the traditional thinking around him and created his own holiday to remind people of the path to enlightenment. In his mind, he saw 'enlightenment helpers' being passed out every October 31st. After writing several letters to his Congressional representatives promoting his holiday idea, the Federal Government was nice enough to kick in his door and go through all of his stuff. Luckily, his case was thrown out when he claimed religious persecution. From then on, he took his Halloweed movement underground and died without ever seeing his dream fulfilled. So as you celebrate Halloween, please keep the Chemical Buddha's dream alive and watch out for the DEA.
What dream of yours have you hidden away and not shared?
What would it take for you to follow your dream?
