UC Santa Cruz cracking down on 420 [CA]

UC Santa Cruz cracking down on 420
April 17, 2009 - ABC7 News



SANTA CRUZ, CA (KGO) -- Some new restrictions are being placed on a longtime pot-smoking festival. A large crowd is expected on the UC Santa Cruz campus Monday for a festival known as "the 420." The university is trying to keep out the unwanted pot smokers.

Starting at 8:00 p.m. Friday and running until Monday, a strict no overnight guests police is being imposed on residential halls on the campus. That is just one way the university is letting visitors know they are not welcome.

The annual migration to Porter Meadow at UC Santa Cruz is well documented on YouTube. The 420 event takes place every year on April 20th at 4:20 in the afternoon.

"Everyone just counts down and then takes a rip of smoke and then they get high," said senior Anand Janeson.

The marijuana festival has been going on for some two decades. But, in recent years the parade of people coming from out of town has exploded, filling the sky with a visible haze of smoke.

"This is known to be the place to come. So, there's thousands of people, students and non-students, and there's just not much they can do," said sophomore Caroline Keegan.

But, the university is cracking down. Campus police will put up barricades. There will also be restricted shuttle service and a ban on overnight guests in university housing.

These measures and others were outlined in a letter to the parents of first-year students. The vice chancellor of student affairs also wrote, "The use of illegal substances is a violation of the student code of conduct and can result in judicial sanctions."

But, students say it is one day in which open cannabis smoking is generally regarded as free speech.

"It's an opportunity for the student body to express solidarity for drug reform policy," explained junior Mitchell Kalb.

University administration refused to talk on camera about its concerns or safety measures, saying any public statement could have unintended consequences. Students that spoke with ABC 7 said they do not think the measures in place will be much of a deterrent.

"It will limit it in some ways, but I don't think it's going to have a huge impact on the amount of people that come on campus," said sophomore Haja Jaloh.

The university calls the 420 event unsanctioned and the activity illegal. And, just like last year campus police will be restricting the traffic and putting tickets on illegally-parked cars.

Yea, I guess the best thing to do is park a few miles out and take the bus to the campus.

They might staff the guard booths 24/7 this weekend, but even if they do its super easy to walk around them if you don't have a car.

It's fucking Santa Cruz, who gives a shit?  You can smoke outdoors in most parts of the city every other day without a problem, who cares about 4/20?

And Santa Cruz is a beautiful place this time of year, great weather indeed.

The city may not be as good, its the hills around it that I love :thumbup:

I'm going also...Me and a few buddies. The chance is slim since there's several thousand heads that show up, and we wouldn't know it even if we did, but hey we might run into each other :shrug:.

Should be pretty legit...Can't wait to go get some good grub after.

Yesterday I found ten pounds of morels in the bonny dune burns (under madrone), its about ten miles from santa cruz.  Its a good excuse to visit the santa cruz area Monday.
