Yesterday may have been April Fool’s Day, but for NORML Terps, the university’s alcohol policy is hardly a joke.
In recognition National Alcohol Awareness Month, group members
gathered outside the Main Administration Building, protesting what they
believe to be a discrepancy between alcohol and marijuana policies at
the university and nationwide.
“Currently, alcohol is seen as a Class B violation,” said Zach
Brown, the president of NORML Terps. “If you’re caught with alcohol,
it’s just a slap on the wrist. But with marijuana, you’re kicked out of
housing.”

Auraria saw a little hint of green April 1, as SAFER stopped by to
discuss lessening penalties for marijuana offenses on campuses. The Denver-based non-profit organization, Safer Alternative For
Enjoyable Recreation, led by Executive Director Mason Tvert aims to
educate the public about the relative safety of marijuana use. The
Emerald Initiative, is SAFERs plan to open up the discussion about
marijuana use on college campuses. Tvert acknowledged the date for a
nationwide push of the initiative was not an April Fools’ prank,
banners reading, “This is not a joke…Let us make the SAFER choice!”
were placed in the center of campus.

Students argued that drinking alcohol is more harmful than smoking marijuana last Thursday on the Free Speech Steps. The nonprofit organization Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation
started the project with the purpose of “educating the public about the
relative harms of the nation’s two most popular recreational drugs:
alcohol and marijuana,” according to the group’s Web site. “In
particular, the organization works to highlight the fact that marijuana
is far safer than alcohol both to the consumer and to society.”
