Only In Boulder

What happens when you bring 10,000 hippies, dread heads, college students and *Quote Normal *Unquote people all together in on of the most culturally diverse city - Boulder, Colorado - on the planet? That's right a Ganja marathon to see who can smoke not only the most ganja and how quick, but also see who can resists the temptation to start before the magical hour of 4:20 PM arrives - to date there have been zero winners.

We are are talking about pot heads after all, which might explain why there are no winners - hell, your average pot head is only aware of the munchies most of the time, the rest of the time they are sitting around not washing their hair and listening to lame music like The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Carrie Underwood. But the festivarians come out year after year to entomb the city of Boulder in and new kind of smog that can be enjoyed instead of annoyed by all.

Even the local law enforcement has a hand in extracurricular festival activities. Two years ago lucky enough goers who provided their own weed were provided free drinks all thanks to the local popo who were kind enough to turn on the sprinklers. Last year they provided free pictures of all the fun to be had by the pot heads and even posted them on the city website for all to see and enjoy. They even turned it into a game, if you could name that tocker you could win $50.

You have to love the Peoples Republic of Boulder. Smoke on festivarians, smoke on. . .

Hope to see ya all there next year - the date and time is easy to remember 4:20 PM on April 20.
