4-20

With 4-20 finally here I feel like theres going to be a huge commotion over the whole marijuana issue. Last night when I was walking out to my friend’s house on willow to watch the hawks and bulls game I couldn’t help but to notice all of the red white and blue lights. They say the colors red white and blue stands for freedom, those colors seem to mean the opposite when those colors are coming up from behind you with a siren. I really don’t see why there needs to be a sudden rise in police force. Im not a “pot head” or “stoner” but I know that students that are drinking are a lot higher at risk of going out and doing something reckless rather then the kid smoking pot eating Cheetos on his couch. Our school is even hosting a hemp fest festival where theyre going to be promoting the legalization of marijuana and there will be a bunch of live bands playing on the quad. How can our school hold such a event but then turn around and be completely against it. I feel as though they are trapping the hippies in a bear trap and containing them in like mice. I really don’t see what all of the commotion is about 4-20. I believe it stands for something completely different then smoking a bunch of weed. I think its stupid that kids use this date as a excuse to smoke weed.
