I can only imagine the frustration of being a great student at a credited university only to have the reputation follow you of being a “stoner” or “pothead”. I don’t smoke either…really don’t see much wrong with other than IT IS ILLEGAL. Great to see a young man such as yourself standing behind your school for what it is…a great school, not a Potfest smoking ground.

I know there are some students who feel otherwise and things to be discussed other than weed use, ask the ACLU.
Just saying, how many of these articles do we need need?
see: Help, help I’m being oppressed!
The article about staying classy
and the general feel to all the articles covering the event.

And to the point about the event not helping the legalization movement. WRONG. The state senate has support on both sides to add regulating weed like alcohol to the ballot coming up, and we are one of the most forward thinking states on the issue because the Colorado representatives pay attention to what their people are saying.

Also it’s completely ignorant to assume that the people who go to 4/20 on campus don’t like to be successful or work. I’m personally doing an unpaid internship and working part time.

Also, what Logan is saying, is that as a recent grad, most employers are concerned with knowing that you received a quality education from an institute of higher learning. When the quality of your education is overshadowed by an event that has no place on our campus, that is when I have a problem. Marijuana legalization has not been aided by the 4/20 protests, if people are really looking to make change, go to lawmakers at the Capitol and protest there. Especially given that any student who has walked around campus on 4/20 can clearly tell that the majority of “protesters” are high school students looking to rebel, or people who don’t have anything better to do, like be successful and work…

This is an editorial. Therefore, the point of view of one person.

I personally agree with this. When I tell friends from all over where I go to school, I, too, get the “Oh, the Number 1 party school!” or various comments about pot. Regardless of how I present myself and my accomplishments, people will and do judge based on the college of graduation. I went to the Colorado School of Mines for awhile, and I get more interest about that than my degree from CU.

It’s frustrating to have to defend your choice of schools, when the good gets overshadowed by the drinking of those who attend and the smoking of people who don’t even attend.

And why are we posting about one persons thoughts here? Could you not get any other sources. It goes beyond a bunch of people smoking pot. If you cant prove you deserve a job with your degree even though some ppl smoke weed on your campus once a year, you probably don’t
