420 daily mail
The Daily Mail's coverage of 420!
For those who may not know, 420 is a popular cannabis culture holiday celebrated on April 20th (4/20) every year. It's a day when many people around the world come together to celebrate the plant, its benefits, and the community surrounding it.
The Daily Mail, being a conservative-leaning British newspaper, has a rather... interesting history of covering 420. Here are a few examples:
- 2019: The Daily Mail published an article titled "The 420 'stoner' holiday: How cannabis culture is spreading across the world" which highlighted the growing popularity of 420 celebrations. The article was written in a somewhat neutral tone, but still managed to include some negative comments about cannabis use.
- 2018: The Daily Mail ran a piece titled "420: The 'stoner' holiday that's spreading across the world" which focused on the growing trend of 420 celebrations in the UK. The article included quotes from cannabis advocates and critics, and discussed the potential risks and benefits of cannabis use.
- 2017: The Daily Mail published an article titled "The 420 'stoner' holiday: How cannabis culture is taking over the world" which was more critical of 420 celebrations. The article argued that the holiday was a symbol of the "decline of society" and that cannabis use was a "gateway drug" to more serious drug use.
It's worth noting that the Daily Mail's coverage of 420 has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with some articles taking a more neutral tone and others being more critical of the holiday and cannabis use in general.
What do you think about the Daily Mail's coverage of 420? Do you think they should be more neutral or critical of the holiday?
