The warm Boulder air was thicker with the "atom bomb" of marijuana smoke than anticipation as cries of stoned joy mingled with the bluish haze rising among the still-skeletal tree limbs as 4:20 p.m. approached.
Disregarding an e-mail from the CU-Boulder administration pleading with students to forgo this year's 4/20 celebration, roughly 10,000 people gathered on the green lawn of CU-Boulder's Norlin Quad Monday to celebrate what stoners across the nation recognize as something of a national marijuana smoking holiday.
Some on the field claimed to have gathered to push for marijuana legalization, some to flaunt their illegal recreation choices under the nose of the law, some to enjoy the celebration, some to sell their pot-printed paraphernalia and some to just revel in a THC-induced delirium.
