Anti-420 Student Group Calls Boulder's 4/20 Smoke Out A 'Disgrace'

Since the past several years April 20th has become an unofficial marijuana enthusiast's holiday. It also happens to be one of the major events traditionally held at University of Colorado Boulder's Norlin Quad. An event that has drawn over 10,000 people in recent years is now being shut down by CU-Boulder. For the thousands that attend this event the shut down is a dissappointment, although for some students it becomes a relief.


Colorado Daily first reported about an Anti-4/20 event for CU-Boulder students being organized on Facebook calling itself "Stay Classy CU." Nearly 600 University of Colorado students have RSVP'd to this anti-420 event as of Thursday morning and it's calling upon those against the 420 celebration to wear a suit and tie in an effort to "show that CU can be classy and not just baked," according to the Facebook page.

The full event description reads:
4/20 is a well known date for students of CU thousands of people flood Norlin Quad and smoke marijuana. For some students its not a huge deal for others its a disgrace. Dont forget the ones who par take [sic].
To show that not all of CU students are looking to have a free pass to smoke in front of a cop, in the words of Barney Stinson "Suit Up!" So on 4/20 I want you to pull the tie out of the closet and show that CU can be a classy and not just baked.
