Did other games celebrated 420 because I know of one that sold POT upgrades

Shroud of the Avatar did a special POT upgrades sale for all elite players that already own one of the Player Owned Towns. Portalarium wanted to celebrate smoking pot with their players so they gave people that already owned these towns a chance to upgrade them at a discount which is good since some of these towns sell bare bones with no land deeds or houses for $6k from the cash shop.
This sale was only for the 350 players that already owned one though because they are a retired item. You can buy them on the player economy but they cost a lot more than $6k, which is weird because the game is empty.
Did any other games did anything to celebrate being a cannabis user on 420.

You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
I have never seen anyone use 420 like a real holiday before to put things on sale. I think it was funny they would relate one of their most expensive store items to a pot holiday and want to know if other games do this now too. Is smoking pot really that big in MMO now that it can be openly endorsed to market microtransactions?
Edit: This whole thread is LOL

SotA ofc being desperate enough for exposure that they had nothing to lose. =P
This have been a good conversation
A recent study suggested that playing shooters can cause damage to the hippocampus, that's brain damage. The study did warn against drawing too strong a conclusion, but that did not stop the media from running with it. Reason is rather selectively used when it comes to "issues".
Aloha Mr Hand !
I have friends who fully embrace the 420 culture, who are perfectly happy all the time just being high, which if that's what they want to do more power to them.
For me I did smoke a lot of weed, but it wasn't solely because I liked being high, I just didn't want to have to take Xanax or some really altering anxiety medication (I have extreme anxiety almost all the time) when I could just smoke a little bit and feel fine for a few hours.
As for weed itself.....I'm a habitual user. I love it. Its not something I shout about normally, but it's also not something I keep secret. Even my boss knows about it.
Thing is, its one of those drugs that from the outside seems bad. But, with the slightest bit of education you quickly realise that it's less harmful than alcohol, so at that point most people stop giving a shit and treat it just like booze - do what you want on your own time, just don't let it affect your work.
I do admit to myself that I smoke too often (every day). For me though, I use it as a crutch to help me with depression. I have too many triggers in my daily life, so by the time I finish work I'm in a pretty poor state. A smoke in the evening calms me down instantly, allowing me to enjoy my spare time and allowing me to sleep. Without a smoke, I end up going crazy within a few weeks which usually results in me making rash decisions (like quitting my job) and so I find myself in a worse position than when I was smoking.
Luckily, I know the drug isn't physically addictive. Whenever my symptoms of depression ease off or disappear for a while, I am instantly able to stop smoking green with no adverse side effects.
The only thing I do worry about is the smoke, can't be good for my throat and lungs!

Nobody does 420 sales but the fact they did is kind of hilarious. Certainly doesn't make me think any less of them.
We can't help it if you chaps get things the wrong way round.
What we should be doing is talking trash to those who would use a plant to take away your games. If you're a U.S. Citizen maybe you should advocate for the 10th Amendment which says; "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
There should be no Federal laws pertaining to games, or marijuana according to the 10th Amendment. If laws are to be passed regarding them, they should be up to the individual states to take a vote of their citizens.
