University of Colorado Administration funded safety officers to enforce a closed campus and keep the once-expected pack of marijuana smokers away from Norlin Quad on 4/20 Saturday, and it worked.

For the second consecutive year, CU Police Department officers and Argus security staff asked for Buff OneCards at checkpoints around the perimeter of campus and blocked the quad with yellow tape. Two citations were issued to CU students for marijuana-related offenses and no arrests were made Saturday.

Much of the traffic that may have traveled to Boulder was diverted to Denver. Tens of thousands gathered at Civic Center Park for a massive marijuana smoke-out before two people were shot in the leg and a third was grazed by a bullet at about 5 p.m., according to Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson.

Crowds scattered, but no one was killed and investigators do not know the cause of the shooting.

Even though Amendment 64 has legalized small-scale possession and recreational use of marijuana, it is still not legal to smoke pot in public in the state of Colorado.
