Colorado's 4/20 Rally: Is the Rebellion Over?

The Waldos might be surprised to see the present day outcome of their innocently coined '4/20'.

Stoners rebuked the attempt to label them as drug addled victims who needed "protection" which came in the form of avidly enforced laws by creating a unique festival dedicated, not just to the recreational use of the herb, but also to the marketing of its diverse applications in sustainable fields.
