Global Seed Vault in Norway Adds Marijuana to the Mix


Longyearbyen - Norway’s seed vault, built to protect millions of food crops from being wiped out in wars or natural disasters, recently became home to 100,000 marijuana seeds.

The announcement came on the morning of April 20—the unofficial day of celebration for marijuana fans—to reassure stoners across the globe that a supply of wacky tobacky will see them through nuclear wars, genocides and fierce earthquakes and floods.

“We just got to chill out during the tough times,” Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said during a press conference held at 4:20.

Considered the frozen ‘Garden of Eden,’ the global seed vault contains more than 1.5 million sample packages of crop seeds from carrots to wheat, and was not expected to carry a supply of cannabis until pot-smoking experts band together to show it’s necessity to the world.

“We have to get the munchies before we can eat fruits and vegetables, so we need the marijuana to give us the munchies, or our food supply won’t mean anything,” the former editor of High Times Steven Hager said with a mouthful of week-old half-baked brownies.

The signs of acceptance of these potent buds are everywhere, from statehouses—where more than half the world’s government officials have thrown down policy practice in favor of smoking a fat spliff—to schoolyards where children of all ages find confidence and recreation in the herbal medicine.
