the university of colorado usually holds a marijuana party on april 20th at 4:20 in the afternoon every year for some reason, and yesterday there were reports of 10,000 people smoking the wacky tabacky out in the open like it was all just cool man. and get this – nobody got arrested or was issued tickets. were the police stoned too? is colorado on mars now? but seriously, is this the beginning of decriminalization? there were lots of stories floating around las vegas last month of folks getting pulled over by police and having their stash and pariphernalia handed back to them. one person told me she was administered a “weed test”, which ended with a gentle little “boop” on the nose from the officer’s fingertip. was it all just some sort of informal “gonna pull people over and take a census” by las vegas metro – sort of way to PROFILE the general vegas driver to ascertain how many people actually smoke the weird regularly? whatever, i’m hungry.from thedailycamera.com
