BOULDER, Colo.—Boulder officials are supporting the University of Colorado’s efforts to stop one of the nation’s largest marijuana smoke outs.
The smoke out is planned for Friday, 4/20, the unofficial holiday celebrating the drug nationwide.
According to the Daily Camera (), city council members on Tuesday night voiced concerns, including the possibility of riots, over what they called a heavy-handed approach to shut down the rally. They still voted 7-2 in favor of backing the efforts.
The university said the campus will be closed to all visitors that day. The school is also shutting down the quad where the rally is traditionally held to spread fish fertilizer.
The rally may move off campus, where Boulder police will be patrolling.
More than 10,000 people gathered for last year’s smoke out.
