Weed smokers in Colorado haven't been this happy since Hunter S. Thompson ran for sheriff of Aspen.CO-ED magazine announced that at the University of Colorado's annual 4/20 celebration, over 10,000 students showed up to get high in the quad...and the police didn't even hand out citations.
"There's no way our 12 to 15 officers are going to be able to deal with a crowd of 10,000. We just can't do strong enforcement when we're outnumbered 700 or 800 to one," CU police Cmdr. Brad Wiesley said.
Ten thousand smokers can devastate a city's supply of Cap'n Crunch. Here are our predictions for more fallout from CU's smoke-a-thon.
-- 4/21 becomes the unofficial, annual Sit Around and Watch "Saved by the Bell" Day.
-- A massive increase in applications from out-of-state students.
-- At least a full point drop in CU's average GPA.

By legalize it now!
10,000 people get together and smoke out and that's the only thing that they can report. Not about all the fighting and problems and people arrested. Because it didn't happen! Now,
imagine if 10,000 people got together to drink? Legalize marijuana now!

you are so well versed in the subject obviously!!!
Please tell me more about these new risks we will encounter and of course ignore what a biggot you sound like in a country where alcohol is legal and has been proven to lower reaction time.
Climb out of your little isolated shell and K*ll yourslf for all our benefit.
Thanks a head of time

It shows how WEED is misunderstood with the community and the legal system. Too bad there is no preasure set on this subject.

In these times when truth is regarded as an unimportant "special interest" -- even in matters of war and global human survival -- this act of humble peaceful anarchy is something all Americans can be proud of.
