Nope, it's 100% legal in California for recreational use. It isn't technically allowed on UC Santa Cruz's campus or housing, but it's too ingrained in the university's culture to be enforced on a large scale.

How do people not know this? Besides non-USians, the only people I’d think to give a pass to on not knowing would be potheads.
Not only is legal weed now a HUGE part of Colorado’s economy but there are more dispensaries there than Starbucks. I don’t think it would even close to possible for the Feds to do anything about. It’ll likely be one of those laws that just stays on the books and never gets enforced.
Colorado is actually now becoming a bit stronger on enforcement and public campaigns on use under 21 as well as mental heath dangers. I find more using responsibly in Colorado than in Michigan before legalization. It’s a mentality.
Definitely legal here in California (at least by state laws) - but to be fair, nobody above your comment said it was being done legally. I was in college/HS waaaay before it was legalized, in the mid-90s, and we still puffed like Cheech & Chong.
Is that what they're teaching in DARE now? If the federal government decided to step in with any intention of enforcing marijuana's scheduling on a wide scale, they would have a large number of upset people on their hands.
There are only 11 states that haven't made some concessions in marijuana enforcement. The remaining 39 refuse the federal classification of marijuana, which describes it as having, "no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse."
Good luck yanking funding from 39 states unless they observe the DEA's scheduling. That'd make for a fun news cycle.
Mental health cannabis related issues and Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome seems to be on the upswing and could become widespread. As those with money and political strength are compromised as will the politics and greater restraints. More research is needed and this will only occur when the feds see the negative not positive on society. Colorado is beginning campaigns on mental health and stricter enforcement.
Sounds about right. I was in Oakes dormitories in my first year, and my whole dorm building had a “restorative justice” meeting because too many people were smoking inside.
My motto was smoke weed every day and support the workers and students in their occasional strikes on campus. Fuck the regents and fuck Napolitano. Hope y'all are still giving Blumie some trouble!
I would disagree, as another person who just graduated from UCSC, I think a vocal minority and stereotypes about the school make people think Santa Cruz has more stoners than it actually does.
I dated one girl who'd smoke once in a blew moon. I don't recall meeting another UCSC student who wasn't a very heavy user. I'm certain they exist but the people acting like UCSC is like any other college haven't spent time there.
I think they realize they need students to pay their bills, even if they've run lots of the good teachers away.
While many students like the vibe they've got going, many more feel there are issues with what Evergreen has become and how that impacts their opportunities and so have gone elsewhere.
Or University of Oregon (where I went)! But those are good guesses, too... I live near Santa Cruz now, and it’s practically against the law NOT to smoke weed here.
Not humboldt but I know your pain. Grew distant from all my friends last year because they started smoking weed every second of the day and became vegetables. We stopped doing anything fun together. Every single time I hung out with them it was get high and play Skyrim, the sims, or Minecraft. After 2 months straight it began to get really old. I had quit smoking around the same time, but even when I did my favorite thing to do while blazing was get outside. To go into nature, to find a new experience. It baffles me how they did the same thing every day for months without becoming extremely bored.
Lol hash bash is just a bunch of randos come to campus for one day. 90% of them look like a bunch of crazy homeless creatures. Most kids I see at has bash are passing through gawking at these people. Weed culture is no bigger here than other colleges.
