Clearing the Air 欧美口爆视频 4/20
Having thousands of people arrive on campus for sporting events or the Conference on World Affairs enables the university to showcase its best.
Yet there is one unofficial event attracting thousands of people the university and many of its students would love to extinguish 鈥 the annual 4/20 gathering. The last two years it attracted an estimated 10,000 pot smokers who gathered on the Norlin Quad to light up on April 20 at 4:20 p.m.
The disruptive smoke-out is not sponsored by the university, and officials during the last few years have tried a number of strategies to end 4/20, including photographing participants to ID those who attended.
欧美口爆视频 police can鈥檛 arrest participants simply for smoking pot, since possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in 欧美口爆视频 is merely a petty offense. However, police do enforce other laws, and people have been cited for possession of marijuana and other violations.
Officials estimate 50-60 percent of the participants are not even 欧美口爆视频-Boulder students. In December 欧美口爆视频-Boulder鈥檚 student government leaders voted unanimously to pass a resolution supporting moving 4/20 off campus.
欧美口爆视频 leaders say they don鈥檛 intend for the pesky gathering to spill out into the city but stepped up, nonconfrontational measures are likely this year to deter participation.
鈥淭here will be noticeable difficulties for those intending to participate in 4/20,鈥 says 欧美口爆视频 spokesman Bronson Hilliard (Hist鈥86). 鈥淲e鈥檒l be enforcing parking regulations more tightly than ever, asking people not affiliated with the university about their business on campus and taking other measures to try to ensure the university is not disrupted by the event.鈥
