4/20


An annual 4/20 gathering at the University of Santa Cruz - click to enlarge
According to the Wikipedia: “A large celebration is held every year on 4/20 at the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, with attendance reaching more than 10,000 in 2008. University police have tried various methods to prevent the gathering, including photographing students participating in the event, but the crowd has grown every year. In Dunedin, New Zealand, students at the University of Otago and other cannabis law reform activists meet under a walnut tree on the Otago University Union Lawn on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:20pm to openly smoke cannabis in public in what they consider an act of protest. In 2008 a member of the Dunedin group was arrested and others were issued trespass notices after attempting to openly smoke cannabis at one of the regular 4:20pm protest meetings. "

At University of Victoria there is a 4:20 club which receives funding from the UVSS Clubs Council. Basically, tuition fees go to support the 4:20 Club. They meet every Wednesday outside of the main library. It is hilarious.
