Pot enthusiasts celebrate 4/20 at UC Santa Cruz

The reporter is so stoned ...

Pot enthusiasts celebrate 4/20 at UC Santa Cruz
April 20, 2010 - ABC News



SANTA CRUZ, CA (KGO) -- Tuesday was April 20, also known as 4/20, the day marijuana smokers and enthusiasts gather to celebrate and smoke. Perhaps one of the biggest celebrations takes place at the University of California, Santa Cruz at 4:20 p.m.

High Street marks the entrance to UC Santa Cruz, but on April 20 the name takes on a new meaning.

But university officials were not amused by that or any jokes about the day.

"Quite honestly, we wish it would just disappear," UCSC spokesperson Jim Burns said.

The celebration of pot is not sanctioned by the university.

"It creates inconveniences for our faculty, staff and students here who are on campus for legitimate reasons this afternoon," Burns said.

University officials do not make it easy for celebrants to attend the big smoke-out in a meadow on the far outskirts of campus. The street that leads to it is marked with "tow away" and "no parking" signs and the closest gate closed by midday. But the crowds just keep coming.

"Everyone gets together and it's a celebration of happiness and peace and springtime," student "Elly" said.

Not all of the 16,000 students took a toke or two on Tuesday.

"I'm kind of just mostly staying back and doing my homework and my studies," Kirsten Anderson said.

In the meadow, people were chilling out; some maybe too much.

"Have a bunch of fun in the field, celebrate good times," student Matt O'Bannon said.

No one was getting busted for smoking at UCSC Tuesday; in fact, it was a captive audience for November's ballot measure legalizing marijuana.

"I think California is finally ready to do what needs to be done," marijuana legalization supporter Mark Anthony said.

And at 4:20 p.m., a cheer went up from the thousands gathered at the meadow, as did a giant cloud of smoke.

I wish I could have been a part of something like that, but I had my 3yo. son with me for the past few days and couldn't partake till just about an hour ago. Oh well, those hippie chicks looked nice, I've been meaning to start kicking it in Santa Cruz.

Hahaha that was classic: "Disappear? like a puff of smoke?" (awkward silence)

And I loved the sign there, "Keep off the grass" :rofl: :dumblol:

"We wish it would just disappear."

Well sorry, but it never will.  And what is the problem?  "It causes an inconvenience?"  Why don't they just sanction he event so they can regulate it?  Kind of like how the government should legalize it and regulate it so it stops being an "inconvenience."

Not many people outside of the culture even understand that what they are witnessing is a fine example of civil disobedience.

That reporter seemed kind of like he had a contact high, perhaps a slight high off of second hand smoke. 

Very positive coverage over all.

fuck boulder.  i fuckin hate that crowded as rich kid, trustafarian town.  bunch of frat/sorority minded jocks, "i'm so cool, i'm too cool" hipsters, and a whole shit load of hype-ies, who all know everything there is to be known in the world. 

yeah they have a killer smoke out, but god damn, i hate that town.  and if you ask anyone who lives outside of boulder, what they think of boulder, you get just about the same reply.

If it was legal that inconvenience could instantly become a major tourist-trap income once a year for the campus and other businesses in the area. They're sitting on a pot of gold...

Also, seriously, if I heard him say that, say I just walked by, I would stop and I would say NO! Mr. Credential Society, I am here for legitimate reasons too, but today we're going to get stoned! So you can shove your one day of inconvenience up your ass, because we live it day and night the other 364!!!

Hahaha, nah man, totally agree.  I deff dont live in boulder; just no one's smoke out compares.  3rd annual for me.  But i must say; the massive awesome smoke out is losing ground fast.  This year was NOTHING like the previous years... showed up almost late but still, seems to be on a downhill.

But yea, i dont live there and like you said; since i dont - i hate the place!

@Veggie

Do you personally put the movie into words for the forum?  Cause I was reading the text as the movie was running and the words were a little off, off enough that it seemed like somebody that didn't make the movie wrote, ya know?
