Crackdown On Boulder 420 Gathering

Posted on May 01 in Bud Newsby Frater OzPrint

Over the years, April 20th has become an unofficial marijuana enthusiast’s holiday. And one of the major events traditionally held at University of Colorado Boulder’s Norlin Quad–an event that has drawn nearly 10,000 people in recent years–has been shut down by CU-Boulder. For the thousands that attend this event the shut down is disappointing. After more than 10,000 people attended last year’s marijuana rally on Norlin Quadrangle, university officials decided this year to ramp up police presence and to apply stinky fish-based fertilizer to the area.

The student government has officially endorsed this effort to crack down on the 4/20 party.

“4/20 damages the reputation of the university and of every student enrolled here,” said CUSG Vice President for External Affairs Brooks Kanski in a statement. “Do any search online of CU-Boulder and what will invariably pop up is an image or video of 4/20. Questions about 4/20 plague CU graduates in job interviews. It’s time for all of this to end.”

But CU-Boulder doesn’t want to be a total buzzkill; They’re putting on a free concert by Wyclef Jean, an artist who has songs with lyrics which endorse legalizing marijuana.

“We are asking students to support us in the effort to protect the reputation of our institution – and do it by attending a great free concert,” said Carly Robinson, CUSG vice president for internal affairs.
