4/20 in Denver

A Coworker of mine was on vacation in Colorado last week. I just so happened he was on the steps of the capital on Sunday at exactly 4:20pm Local time. He snapped a picture of the marijuana festival at that time!

Denver Smoke

Man, I know in slang that’s a “Grass Fire”, but I’ve seen grass fires in fields that needed fire intervention that didn’t make that much smoke!

Interestingly, there were a few cops around, and while they noted that the venue was not approved to allow public smoking the cops admitted that dealing with the local potheads were much easier than dealing with drunks after last call.

    On this side of the mountains the only smoke is from the farmers burning fields…

    I’m not really happy to see this.

    A few people I know are anti-legalization because they don’t want to be subjected to the smoke from another person. Usually, I would say people only smoke outside and the smoke would disperse quickly enough that it isn’t a valid argument. Now seeing this, I have to wonder if it isn’t time to re-think that argument.

    I’m still pro-legalization. Government has no business telling the people what they can or can’t put in their bodies, and the social and fiscal costs of prohibition far outweigh the benefits to society. I just wish people would respect the rights of others who don’t want to breathe someone else’s smoke.

      You have a valid point, but I’m not so sure if it’s 100% valid. People often joke about having “White History Month” or “Straight Pride Parades” and other such things, and while amusing all of those things are, we have things like 4/20 rallies and gay pride parades because they’re still controversial and are still having legal battles, and we have have Black history month because a huge bulk of white “Progressives” spend a lot of their time self-flagellating themselves that slavery existed, and keep apologizing to blacks for shit they had nothing to do with, or shit that is simply made up.

      Make this shit legal, and it goes away. Hell THIS RALLY was illegal! Smoking Marijuana at this venue was illegal!
