'We'd have a smoke-in on the lawn in front of the Capitol, and sometimes it gravitated to the Greek Theater at Civic Center, but it was usually in front of the Capitol...Eventually, all of this turned into the 4/20 event.'
Brandon Marshall
Fresh out of law school in 1995, Warren Edson represented Gorman during his many legal bouts with the city, helping him secure various event permits, fight cannabis citations and push for Amendment 20, which legalized medical marijuana in Colorado in 2000. After Gorman was murdered in 2007 , his friends continued the tradition of gathering at the park, hosting what became the 4/20 Rally in Denver at Civic Center Park from 2007 to 2017.
How do you feel seeing 4/20 celebrations and events over twenty years later? Do you view the most recent incarnation of 4/20 at Civic Center as progress? But I was doing work in truancy court in Denver County years later, and I remember going into the judge's chambers on a 4/20, because his office looked out on the park. This was the early 2000s, and we were both surprised at how big the crowd had grown. It was something.Do you think recreational legalization's passing in Colorado led to a decline in activism on 4/20?
