Yesterday was April 20, or 4-20, or you know, the day that pot smokers have christened a "holiday." How do pot smokers celebrate 4-20? By smoking pot.
At a major educational institution in my town, about 100 students gathered on the Mall to partake in shameless, public smoking yesterday.
From the MN Daily:
No police intervention was present. University police Chief Greg Hestness said he wasn’t aware of the day’s significance.
“I think that flew under our radar here [at the University police department],” he said. “I don’t know exactly what we’d do about it anyway, unless it was a public event.”
When told that the event was in fact public, Hestness said University police did not respond because the department received no calls of complaint.
As for the University, Hestness said the UMPD will not alter its actions for April 20, 2011.
The staff does not have the sufficient staff to “set up a sting” or surveillance detail in anticipation.
Read: they don't care.
AWESOME!!!
**For those of you new to me and/or my blog, I am super pro-legalization of marijuana. The fact that the University cops didn't seem to bat an eye at the students partaking pot-smoking is music to my ears.
