What Color Is Your Parachute?
Durango, CO
4:19 p.m. An officer responded to a report of several people underneath a parachute smoking marijuana outside in the West Quad area near Crofton Hall. When an officer pulled the parachute up, about 30 people fled. Someone left a digital camera behind and several individuals were identified and arrested.

30 potheads in one spot? Must have been a NORML meeting.

It wasn’t Ann Arbor, so it couldn’t have been the Hash Bash, but I’ll bet someone tries it there next year…

They should have tried smoking the weed under parachute while in the air. It does crack me up to imagine 30 stoned people running out from under a parachute, though!

When they started it was a white parachute. By the time they finished it was multi-colored.
By the way the post reads, it sounds like this took place on a college campus. When I went to college no one would ever had called the cops for something like that. They were far more likely to either try and get under the parachute or stand outside it making fun of the people inside.
Funny thing about the digital camera…the person who owned it probably took the picture and isn’t in any of them. It’ll be hard to live that down. They might as well transfer schools.

Yeah, Keeg, you’d have thought the doper’s would have been smarter than that. “Dude, where’s my camera?”

I would say the color of the parachute was rather a “PURPLE HAZE, they was smokin’ hash, hash-oil, opium, Maui, and some Thai sticks. I have met the 70’s in college. Sorry, I don’t know about the new stuff. Of course my mind is shot from the 70’s LOL!. Lucky I divorced the guy I met in the 70’s, on the night I graduated high-school I decided I wanted to try some of the stuff, POT, like all of my friends in school. I didn’t figure I’d need my brain anymore ‘cuz I was just gonna be a photographer. Then I MARRIED the guy I tried it with, MISTAKE! After he was history. I was too parinoid to find ANY other stuff, I had a kid, so I kept clean! Now I am 50, I remember the past EXTREMELY WELL, but 5 minutes ago is HAZY! HMMM

Why bust the party at 4:19? Why not wait one more minute to make it ironic?
