Boulder Holidaze
Today’s annual Colorado gathering of mile-high stoners can expect to face a “conciliatory” crackdown.
(Page 2 of 2)
Marijuana legalization is one thing. Stoned kids — including no doubt many walking the few blocks up the street from Boulder High School — on a taxpayer-funded campus on a day when classes are taking place is something else entirely.
To be sure, there are plenty of CU students who oppose the 4/20 narcissistic haze. Andrew Trujillo, a junior, created a Facebook page called “Stay classy CU” that has 600 students joining to express their displeasure with the event by dressing well on Friday (presumably quite a sacrifice for most CU undergrads).
The debate among students is well summarized by two comments on the page. Point, Jane Miller: “putting on a tie doesn’t make you classy, smoking pot doesn’t make you un-classy. p.s. suits are equipped with the ultimate stash pockets.” (Her parents must be so proud; at least she’s paying the in-state tuition rate.) Counter-point, Sarah Marie Bowles: “It becomes MY problem when employers ask about 4/20 and associate this institution with marijuana (which is still illegal). It becomes MY problem when the campus is flooded with people who are clearly not CU students, many of them even high schoolers. The fact is, public image DOES matter. CU is about more than thousands of people smoking pot in one place. It’s time to show people that.”
As is typical of Boulder, even the “hard line” position is squishy, with CU Vice Chancellor Frances Draper saying, “We will be enforcing this, but we plan to do it in a conciliatory way.” That’s probably all that will be necessary, and not only due to would-be attendees too mellow to put up much of a fight.
Instead, it is because a student group has arranged a concert to run from 2 PM to 6 PM — with a clever requirement that students must be inside the Coors Event Center by 4 PM. The concert headliner: Wyclef Jean, the one-time candidate for the presidency of Haiti who has been hit with over $2 million in tax liens by the IRS in the past half-decade (none of which for student loan debt), who, when asked about the 4/20 pot-smoking “holiday,” responded, “For me that’s an everyday holiday.”
Norlin Quad may be closed, but the Coors Event Center is open — and without the benefits of a breeze to blow away the exhalations of a few thousand stoned future leaders of America.
Within the friendly confines of a pot-smoke-filled arena and considering his profanity-laced 2006 tirade against President George W. Bush, including suggesting that “President Bush needs to smoke marijuana,” there’s no doubt that Mr. Jean will feel right at home at CU-Boulder.
As for me, I plan to stay far away from both the perma-stoned tax-dodger and the fish-fertilized lawn.

Why aren’t president environment and the other liberal progressives complaining about this? This gathering is in direct violation of the Clean Air Act?
Von Mises Jr| 4.20.12 @ 9:50AM
It is because liberals do not use reason, but tyranny. We are told we cannot smoke tobacco or eat salt because society will have to pay for our poor health care decisions. But the same people promote hooking up and gay sex that promulgates STD's including AIDS, and pregnancy and abortions.
I agree with Ron Paul and John Stossel that the government should get the hell out of our personal lives. So what If the kids want to get a buzz when they are not driving. Did the adults stop drinking the whiskey smuggled by Joe Kennedy during Prohibition?

'.....Breitbart.com Media Matters' Oliver Willis Wants Pro-Israel Liberals 'Marginalized' by Ben Shapiro 21 hours ago As we revealed yesterday, MJ Rosenberg wasn’t the only anti-Israel extremist working at Media Matters for America: Senior Fellow Eric Boehlert once downplayed genocidal anti-Semitism, routinely suggests that media coverage is too pro-Israel thanks to the intimidation by nefarious forces (hint hint), and defended terrorist professor Sami Al-Arian.Today, we examine Oliver Willis, a research fellow at Media Matters. Just like MJ and Eric, Willis is an anti-Israel extremist with a soft spot for anti-Semitism.Willis once referred to Paul Wolfowitz as “filthy” and Joe Lieberman as “fascistic.” He accused Israel of “Playing Games With American Lives” for building settlements, and wrote that he “can’t wait for the day when we can tell both sides [of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict] to go to hell.” He has stated that “The Democratic Party will be at its best” only once pro-Israel AIPAC-associated liberals like Josh Block are “marginalized.” He has defended via retweet MJ Rosenberg’s use of the white supremacist term “Israel firsters.” He accuses conservatives of attacking “everyone who doesnt march in lockstep with Israel.” And while anti-Israel fanatic Glenn Greenwald accuses me of watering down the term anti-Semitism by pointing out Media Matters’ relentless pattern of providing cover to anti-Semites, he has nothing to say about Willis, who likened one mosque being burned in Tennessee to full-blown Nazi treatment of Jews.Willis isn’t literate on the Israel-Palestinian issue (as with most other issues); his anti-Israel feeling seems to come from groupthink more than from the informed anti-Israel radicalism of MJ Rosenberg or Boehlert. And yet Willis is one of Media Matters’ key in-house policers of right-wing anti-Semitism. Ah, the irony.More to come.....'

Seriously, you talk about "man crush"...nobody has a man crush the way you do.
The article was about students smoking pot in Boulder. The only reason I can think of that you might write comments as ridiculous as yours is that you started you own 4/20 event a little early.

Clint| 4.20.12 @ 10:07PM
Do Your Homework Before Ya Run Your Uninformed Mouth, Little Dick.
" FACT: Paul believes prostitution and drug use to be morally wrong, but believes it to be a state issue per the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution.
Ron Paul persistently defends the Constitution and the Tenth Amendment--the amendment protecting states rights, and believes prostitution and drug use is a states' rights issue not enumerated to the federal government under the Constitution.
There is actually no federal law prohibiting prostitution today, but it is illegal via most states' laws.
While Paul supports ending the War on Drugs, the Congress would only be legally capable of ending the federal mandate on drug use and possession; states would still retain their laws prohibiting drug use and possession."

Then again the octogenarian Paul could surface in 2016 and give the Paulbots something to live for, but I doubt it.

" George Will, "Today, we have a very different kind of foreign policy. It’s called Wilsonian. And the premise of the Bush Doctrine is that America must spread democracy, because our national security depends upon it. And America can spread democracy. It knows how. It can engage in national building. This is conservative or not?"
William F. Buckley, " It’s not at all conservative. It’s anything but conservative. It’s not conservative at all, inasmuch as conservatism doesn’t invite unnecessary challenges. It insists on coming to terms with the world as it is …”

George Washington,
" Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests. "

As someone who live mere miles from the center of Boulder, I am more concerned about the Greeley smell we will experience when the Mocha Messiah opens his purple pie hole there on Tuesday.

As a reformed/retired smoker from college days, I don't have a problem with the smoking of ganja. I DO have a problem, like the author writes, of blatantly violating a LAW (even if I don't agree with the law). We are a nation of laws, and if we don't follow them then the end result is tyranny. Of course, you could argue that we are already on the verge of tyranny anyways thanks to Obama and his ilk.

Paul McGrath| 4.20.12 @ 12:29PM
Interesting that, with all the smoke in the air, none of them are worried about pollution or global warming. Or second hand smoke either. That smoke will go creeping into a baby's room and give it cancer or asthma. Right?
Or are certain kinds of smoke more equal than other kinds of smoke.
Peter| 4.20.12 @ 4:38PM
Why would they give MJ to cancer paitients if it gave them cancer??

Paul has no sympathy on you (and who can blame him) as your obviously a pot supporter. They give pot to cancer patients to stimulate the appetite that chemo/radiation kills. Then again, the legal synthectic version does the same and is available everywhere with a RX.

Oh let the kids have their day and then get back to business.
I can't believe adults in the year 2012 are willing to spend their energies and our money even worrying about it., It would be one thing if the gatherings were causing trouble, but historically it is the tamest group of well behaved people imaginable (albeit hungry).
This is an issue that has nothing to do with anything except 'control' simply 'because' ,, and it is expensive and stupid to even be this level of concerned. Another generation of prohibitionist leftovers out to 'send a message'.. willing to use our precious few resources and money to even break a sweat on this nonsense demonstrates a strong disregard for really important issues that go on the back burner when these crusaders get started on this absolute nonsense.
spy| 4.20.12 @ 4:23PM
That's what I was thinking: eveything else in the world going to pot, give these kids a break. Only reinforces the us vs. them, anti-establishment mentality. Instead, let law enforcement devote their time to putting violent criminals behind bars.

My apologizies to Ross for my getting earliar sidetracked by Clint's STUPIDITY, but we're all human I suppose [though doubtful in his case]. Anyway, back to Ross's [as usual] informative editorial. In my ancient yesteryear at college, it was mostly booze [and lots of it]. Some of us graduated from our individual state of inebriation to buckle down, study, learn and obtain a college degree. The difference with that and what Ross describes is as he states, the status of LEGALITY. Booze is, dope isn't; and the latter's existence should be enforced by the authorities if possible [though again as stated by Ross, someAMBULANCE CHASER would swoop down and provide the incarcerated victim with RIGHTS no doubt. The truly shame of this situation is that there are millions of Chinese, Japanese, Indians etc who are currently instead placing their combined noses into textbooks and research materials and their eventual intellectual prowess will surpass that of these stoned morons fricking away their opportunities of learning [and their residential countries will eventually pass us by accordingly]. The snot-nosers of this country represent our future, and IT DON'T LOOK GOOD FROM WHERE I'M STANDING, that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oldefarte| 4.21.12 @ 3:04PM
PS: I lost my previous train of thought perhaps, in neglecting to mention that in my college days of yesteryear, there were boozehounds that stayed that way, pee-peed their opportunity at an education and degree and are most likely working a penal farm today or maybe deceased. The world is a better place in either case. Again the point is the Bible's story of TEN TALENTS given to two individuals.....one wasting his while the other made good use thereof!!!!!!!!!

Uh, if you mean Matthew 25(the only mention of talents in the New Test.), there were 3 individuals and 8 talents involved. Pretty sloppy analogy, Old dude. The guy who got 1 didn't "waste" he didn't multiply, and had a bad attitude about his master. He came back with the 1 talent.
And all 3 were given "according to their abilities". It doesn't say if they, or he, was a drunk or pothead.
And as far as booze "being legal", not in blue states(blue laws, not commiecrat). But that didn't stop either of my grandpappies and neither did Prohibition. So what is your point?
I know several people who made messes of their lives without pot or alcohol. And I know several who are quite successful and smoke pot, too.
The point of the "Drug War", like the "War on Terror", or War on Poverty", is that it allows the State to grow indefinitely without there ever being a "deck of the Missouri" surrender of the "enemy". Don't you know when you're being scammed? Potheads are no threat but waging "war" on them has shredded that constitution you "conservatives" are always claiming to care about.

Shazam AWARE and CLINT! What brilliance. OMG, two geniuses together. A spaced out cowboy and a two short short Lewinskier. Made my day! Now here's someone who agrees with you two worthless morons [although at least Maher has a job]:
'...... “Real Time” host Bill Maher has long been a proponent of marijuana legalization, and he has been critical of drug laws in the United States for more than a decade. Even though he donated $1 million to President Barack Obama’s super PAC last month, Maher clearly has some problems with the president’s handling of this particular issue.During the online “Overtime” segment on his Friday night program, Maher read an emailed question that marked April 20, or “4/20,” a day associated in drug culture with the widespread consumption of marijuana. The questioner asked why the topic was a taboo for politicians.
Maher responded by expressing his disappointment in Obama’s failure to make drug legalization a reality.“Why is the legalization of recreational drugs such a third rail in American politics?” Maher said. “Well, that’s certainly a good question. I don’t know — I mean 4/20, such a disappointment what this president said and I thought he was sort of sending out a signal about the second term. You know, a little read in between the lines.”“His statement, as I was saying, you know the beginning of it, was ‘I can understand people’s frustration,’” Maher said. “‘We can have a conversation. We should, about —’ and then at the end, ‘but we’re not going to do that.”......'

Oldefarte| 4.21.12 @ 9:22PM
PS Clint, just a few questions for you:
1.Did you graduate [or even attend] college; and was a Catholic institution?
2. What was your GPA?
3.What was your major and minor degree?
4. Did you graduate from a Catholic high school? What about grade school?
5.Were you tuaght by Catholic brothers or nuns, and what religious order were they?
6. Were you ever an altar boy and if so how many years? Were you confirmed?
7. Were you ever a member of say the K of C and if so how many years?
Just what I thought....NO to all of the above!!!!

From the Wiki: Adolph Hitler born April 20, 1889, died April 30th, 1945, age 56.
That's it, folks. But one can tell the ambivalence in Clint in that his daddy fought Nazis and he seeks to further the Nazis' work. Just like he calls people chickenhawks and then notes that despite being a Division I varsity athlete in two sports, he never volunteered for the military. (Hell, I applied for a Navy ROTC scholarship as soon as I got my acceptance letter to U of Illinois school of Medicine---I was accepted to TWO US medical schools, by the way) I ended up paying off my $80,000 in student loans in toto in my first full year of private practice. I did not live high on the hog, and still don't.
To answer Oldefarte's questions:
TCU Magna Cum Laude, B.S. Biology, 1984
UTMB, MD 1988.
Kaiser Foundation Hospital Internship in Pediatrics, 1988-1989.
UCLA Residency in Psychiatry 1989-1993.
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Certification 1995, recert 2005 with 92% score.
On pot: Marinol is available with subscription for wasting diseases. Smoking weed puts the absorption across the largest blood interface in the body, the lungs. 50-70% of my inpatients are positive for THC when they enter my hospital.
We have enough problem in the Native Community with drugs without legalizing them.
