    That just made my brain go down a hole of wondering if changelings,Horta or Tholians (first non human but intelligent species that came to mind) could get high if they wanted from ingesting substances, not ours of course but maybe magnesium really chills the Horta? Something like that anyways.

      The Stardate is April 20th, 4/20. A date in which many humanoid will enjoy some time inebriated.

      It’s a bit like Saint Patrick’s or Saint Jean Baptiste dayday , but instead of booze it’s Marijuana.

        Technically it wouldn’t be a stardate. Remember in ENT each log was called a “star log”. It contained a Gregorian date format. Stardates didn’t exist till the beginning of the Federation (the existence of non-Federation using stardates like Romulans in Kelevin Timeline withstanding). So if you tried calculating a stardate before 2161, you’d get a negative number.

        EDIT: Yes you can convert dates but depending on the century the formula changes. The Sisko Day and Captain Picard Day are the only days I know of that fans agree upon a Gregorian date.
