I don't have a personal problem with marijuana. I don't smoke, but I don't think it should be illegal. Regardless it is illegal.
If the cops decided to arrest some of the people in that mob (since what they're doing is illegal), I assume there would be no rioting or protesting or problems whatsoever, right? Doubtful.
Just imagine if another group of people selected a day of the year to celebrate doing another illegal activity (a worse drug? something with guns perhaps?) and started doing those en masse.
I don't see how this is awesome. I see it as law enforcement not being consistent with their rules, and therefore making it appear that they don't take their laws seriously. I also think it's stupid for them to turn a blind eye to you guys so blatantly sticking up your middle finger to the law. I honestly don't understand what reason there is for you guys not to have been arrested. Because there were a lot of you?
Granted, I think pot should be legalized. But until it is, I think people should be following the rules. I can't imagine what you must think about the civil rights movement, when the protestors were breaking the law en masse by using whites-only water fountains and sitting at the front of the bus. I have news for you: The law is busted in certain areas, and the only way to fix it is to get outside and do something about it. Everyone there was risking getting a ticket for possession and possibly even a suspension from the University if the law was so inclined to pursue us. But hopefully if enough people blatantly stick their middle finger to the law at once, maybe they'll actually change something. Show nested quote +On April 22 2011 13:03 LeperKahn wrote:

We should have had a TL meetup. Oh well maybe I'll get a chance to meet all of you at next lan. Only person I really connected with, thopol, moved to Japan! I haven't seen hypnosis post in awhile. I'm down! We have quite a scene up here and it's growing every day. We're actually planning a LAN on Saturday, if you're around!
When do yall's semester end? I'm planning on organizing another on before the end of the semester.

This reminds me of Hash Bash here in Ann Arbor. Boulder looks like its has more people, but definitely the same huge cloud of smoke. Like McTenor said, here at UofM its like a 20-25 dollar fine at the most. So people really don't hide it much anyways (well, outside of the dorms where they actually care)

So marijuana is illegal, and you have 10,000 people partaking of an illegal substance in the most obvious place in the entire city. You all must have some weird cops up there.
I'd like to know which jail has room for 10000 people.

Oh, didn't realize it ended that quickly. Well it will be a Colorado meet for people that are back in their home state then.

It's laughable because the university sent out an email telling students not to go because it "degrades our degree and school," while they even had the kindness to set up event parking for the people coming in from all over, deal with it and stop being such bitches CU. Either embrace it or shut it down, stop being two faced.
|
I think it brings in quite a bit of attention and garners some kind of interest from prospective students, don't you think?

In san francisco marijuana is unofficially legal lol . You can smoke it wherever whenever
|
Cops were cruising around all day everywhere on 4/20 here looking to bust.
Fucking Oklahoma.

Wow that's amazing. Didn't think anyone was this open.

Boulder is a much better version of capitol hill in Denver but it's essentially the same thing. thousands of stoners gettin' stoned while the police just stand and talk its amazing and that's how it SHOULD be.. i don;t even really smoke any more but these two instances are proof that weed is not bad.

So epic. I should have gone to Boulder for 4/20. I don't know why that never crossed my mind.

Why would it be hilarious? You think the police have never shut down 10k people before? Have you ever heard of the National Guard?
I'm all for the legalization of marijuana (or do I need to call it "product" to be cool?), but let's not kid ourselves that the government is powerless to stop a force of 10,000 stoners.
|
This whole thing just baffles me. I mean, would 10k people getting together on October 11th every year (random day) to shoot heroin be ok? Would police stand idly by? Don't get me wrong, I think pot should be legal but that's not my point. I am just shocked people can actually just blatantly break the law in front of law enforcement and it's no big deal LOL.

People who live outside of Boulder are ignorant to the culture here.

Haha I go to berkeley and we had pretty good weed party too.
I think I ate way too much that day lolol

honestly, you're just a pussy.
no really, that was as objective as calling someone a pussy can get.
chill out and realize that with numbers that high, the risk is so low.

Did I ever meet you Meta? Ben, did you go hit up the same gig?
If you don't mind my asking, what did you guys roll up with? What were your smoking habits for the day?
I was up there last year in the quad and the shit was intense. There were so many people who had personal blunts, and they smoked so much, that they were just floating in and out of my peripheral hitting sphere constantly. I remember walking up to the hill and seeing a scene out of a zombie movie. In my ludicrous state all of the sunlight was saturated and blinding.
Because it is so deliberate and extravagant, I'd like to hear what your plans were and if anything strange happened.
