Colorado College Tops Pot Smoking Poll

From: Daily Camera

The phase "CC Sucks" took on a whole new meaning today as Colorado College was named the #1 Pot Smoking School in America by the The Princeton Review.  For the first time since 1957, Colorado College finally finished on top of a national poll at the end of a season.

The University of Colorado in Boulder — where more than 10,000 people gather each April 20 for the annual 4/20 pot smoke-out — moved up two spots to No. 4 on this year's "reefer madness" list.

But the Boulder campus was trumped by its southern neighbor Colorado College, a small private school that ranked in the "reefer madness" list.

Princeton Review released its annual college rankings today, and CU-Boulder also ranked No. 20 for "great college town" and No. 20 for "most politically active students."

Rob Franek, vice president and publisher of Princeton Review, said Colorado College has been a "usual suspect" on the marijuana list for the past few years, and this year surpassed CU-Boulder. Both schools, he said, have strong academic records.

"I have high respect for both schools," Franek said. (No pun intended).

The Princeton Review surveyed 122,000 students nationwide before compiling its lists.

"We go directly to whom we think would be experts, and that's current college students," Franek said.

But CU-Boulder spokesman Bronson Hilliard said the rankings are subjective and have no scientific backing.

"The media is way more interested in the rankings than we are," Hilliard said.

In the spring, Playboy ranked CU-Boulder the No. 1 party school in the nation, saying it's a "beer drinker's paradise" and citing the massive 4/20 gathering.

Colorado College students also scored #5 in another Princeton Review category [Birkenstock-Wearing, Tree-Hugging, Clove-Smoking, Vegetarians].

Congrats to CC. Those pot smoking nimrods down there need to sell some of that chronic and use the proceeds to get Scotty Owens a new haircut.

no participation banner, although please feel free to add a banner next to the 57 championship banner or has that one fallen into disrepair due to age.

Hey, No. 1 is No.1 -no matter what it's for. An achievement like that definitely needs a banner right over center ice. "No. 1 pot smoking school 2011"

I love jokes where the pun has to be blatantly intended

I don't know if these poll results are tweaked or not; but you have to admit, it's pretty amazing that DU manages to stay relatively clean, given the hugely accessible, and flourishing MMJ scene in Colorado. There's a hell of an abundance of green grass and weeds along I-25 within this state.....and I don't mean what you see growing in the fields and driving along the interstate from your car window. Still, it's all jibberish; Least we forget - Pot or no Pot, poll or no poll - CC still Sucks

I have two things to say –
1) Your eggo can’t get prego from oral
2) No matter what your life partner told you, two dudes can’t make a baby (I’ve tried)

I'm sorry you missed that day of health class in high school =)
