House Hunting on April 20th? 9 Things You Should Think about Before “Celebrating” 420 Day

Marijuana may be legalized in many areas, and more widely accepted than ever, but that doesn’t make 420 Day any less special to those who like to celebrate it!

Despite many aficionados feeling like everything you do is just a little bit better and more fun when you’re high, perhaps house hunting isn’t one of the things that should be on your list of to-dos on April 20th.

Beside the fact that you shouldn’t be making such a major life decision high, here are 9 reasons to avoid house hunting after you’ve eaten a cosmic brownie, or smoked some kind nugs on 420 Day… or any other day for that matter:

(***Disclaimer: While it’s not required or recommended that you get high before reading this, readers who do might experience more laughter than those who do not. Just sayin’…)

1) It’s Difficult to Look at Houses With Sunglasses On

Wearing some shades may hide your bloodshot eyes from a real estate agent. But even if they chock it up to a fashion statement, it’s going to be difficult for you to appreciate the natural light spilling into the space from behind your Ray-Bans!

2) Cottonmouth Makes It Hard to Concentrate

The friendly banter between you and your agent will quickly make you realize how dry your mouth is and have you on the lookout for a way to wet your whistle. If it’s too unbearable, you might find yourself sticking your head under the kitchen faucet trying to pass it off as testing the taste of the local agua, or water pressure.

3) Pantry Snacks Can Be Tempting and Distracting

The munchies are bound to kick in at some point, and a well-stocked pantry may be the tipping point. Sampling the owner’s snacks isn’t cool, so prepare to be consumed by what you’d like to consume from the owner’s stash.

4) Pizza Takes Longer to Get Delivered Than a Showing Takes

Once you have food on your mind, ordering a pizza to be delivered to the house might seem like a good idea. But keep in mind that even Domino’s takes like a half hour to be delivered — and forget about DoorDash or Uber Eats, unless you plan on being at the house for like an hour and a half!

5) You Might Get Lost in the Walk-in Closet

Don’t underestimate how a walk-in closet can make you feel like you’ve entered the door to Narnia, and have you struggling for a way to find your way back to the real world.

6) You Might Crack Up at Something the Agent Says

When you head outside to check out the backyard, brace yourself if the agent says something like, “Check out the size of this deck!” That’d be funny enough if you weren’t high, but it’s even easier to succumb to uncontrollable laughter when you’re stoned.

7) You Might Try to Pet the Owner’s Cat

And if you see the owner’s cat climbing a tree while you’re out back, you might feel like you’re doing a good deed by catching it and bringing it back inside, only to find out it’s a raccoon.

8) You Might Get into a Philosophical Debate With the Agent

When you feel like the showing is coming to an end, you might need to buy some time for that pizza you ordered to arrive and launch into a philosophical debate with the agent about when the exact moment is that a “house” turns into a “home.”

9) You Might Doze off Mid-Conversation With the Agent

And, last but not least, as your agent tries to answer whatever off-the-wall question you ask, you might find your eyelids getting heavy, then take a nap while standing in the middle of the living room.
