This article is about a 4:20 celebration in Colorado. This celebration had gone on in the past. On average 10-12000 people had attended. This year was a different story. The police closed the campus to outsiders and put a fish based fertilizer down to disuade people from gathering. There were still people in attendance. Before the event happened 3 students were arrested. At the normal 4:20 time a man tried to rally the crowd to start the smoke off as usual but then ducked under the tape and took off across campus. This year it seemed no one got their smoke on.
I don't understand why they changed things. I am not a pot smoker. I don't care for it. However I don't see what the reasoning was. They let the rally happen in the past with no problems yet all of the sudden they decided not to this year? I don't think everyone should run out and be stoned 24/7 but I don't see what pot hurts. The people I know who smoke are all very calm and laid back. They never hurt anyone and don't like confrontation. No one has died of a marijuana overdose. Yet it's illegal. Whereas people die from alcohol poisoning all the time. There are drunk drivers. Alcohol causes aggression. But it's legal. Makes no sense to me.
I have to say I agree with you on this one. I even worked in a county jail and saw a lot damage from alcohol,
ReplyDeleteIt is the age old question of why dont they just make the marijuana legal. I have to think that it is because they would not have any way to regulate it. I would have to agree that the alcohol is worse for people than weed will ever be. If you seen my post a week or so ago about them wanting to find a way to stop HIGH drivers or at least have test to show that people are under the influence while driving then i will just save my rant. :)
ReplyDeleteI think most people would agree. It seems that alcohol is much, much more dangerous. I say sell it, tax it and be done with it.
