What is quickly becoming an internationally known marijuana fest the annual 4/20 smoke out at Colorado University - Boulder’s Norlin Quad drew a crowd of 10,000+ yesterday.

In the past police have come down hard on revelers, “In 2006, CU police dispatched undercover photographers to snap pictures of smokers. Photos of 150 alleged offenders then were posted on the department’s Web site, and witnesses were offered $50 to positively identify the suspects — who then were ticketed. Another year, smokers on Farrand were doused with sprinklers.”

But this year The Daily Camera reports, “the crowd was so large it migrated from the long-traditional site of Farrand Field to the larger Norlin Quad; festivities kicked off earlier than normal with daytime concerts; and CU police handed out zero citations.”

No citations for a mass smoke-a-thon in public? Colorado seems to be a full on hippy haven!
