Boulder 4/20

Being a student at Boulder Colorado, it is my duty to this fine institution to bring to your attention an event that the university embraces annually. This past year 10,000 students and supporters gathered on our own Norlin Quad to celebrate the schools favorite leafy vegetation.

This event has been taking place for several years and shows several things.
1. People can gather in large numbers and peacefully smoke marijuana.
2. Despite laws against the production, possession, distribution and use of the drug, it is still very widely embraced by people of all walks of life. (even professors!)
3. People want change, a logical and legitimate though controversial change that would benefit both the civilians and the government alike.

Marijuana, unlike some legal prescription drugs or alcohol allows the user to relax.
