This absolutely bonkers short has me wondering if dispensaries ever considered having an event for 4/20 with performances like this? I think Alles has just created a new theatrical niche!

This is incredible. As a lover of both A Christmas Carol and 4/20 this felt written just for me. Would love to see this in a festival.

Hilarious! This 4/20 meets A Christmas Carol is the farce we didn't know we needed. Any cast would delight in bringing these colorful and outrageous characters to life. SO CREATIVE! Willie Nelson should produce this!
