Our legacy has been secured. Again.
As should have been expected, Humboldt State University’s announcement that it was firing up an Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research Institute was picked up by significant news organizations across the web — CBS News, the Huffington Post, Italian Rolling Stone.
Sure, sure. But none of that coverage will be as remembered as the “report” filed by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night’s edition.
Kimmel observes: “We already have a college research institute devoted to marijuana. It’s called college.”
And it goes from there. Enjoy.

Smoke bowls do tons of meth and party, that’s what CR is all about dud PARTY
t is not about what “Jimmy” says; nah, rather it is what “Jimmy’s superiors connected to politics for profit” says in order to take advantage of “social stygmas, dogmas, taboos, etc….just capitalization in a capitalist market. – HOJ
Hey Jimmy, You can also work for ABC after graduating from HSU.
Thanks for knocking down my HSU degree a couple notches in the eyes of my no longer interested employers. Thanks alot Jimmy.
THERE ARE SERIOUS, DEDICATED, HARDWORKING, AND RESPONSIBLE STUDENTS HERE AT HUMBOLDT STATE UNIVERSITY. HSU IS A CAL STATE AND THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS HERE DO NOT SMOKE WEED. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND DO NOT TRY AND RUIN OUR FUTURES.
Jimmy sounded like a white shoe bitch! Bitch meaning “DOG” when he thought he was hilarryass only to him self. Jimmey we have seen you and Adam do stunts that show you were probably on some sort of drug. You used to be a favorite all the way back to Ben Stien now your just another Hollywood bully because you have the ability to say anything about anything or anybody and believe your really funny…you failed talking about Humboldt State University because it obvious your just as ignorant as…”I can’t think of anything more taste less as you;” and to think I I have wasted my time watching your ignorant self!
I can’t explain how upsetting this is as a student at Humboldt State. I have lived in Humboldt my entire life and never once smoked weed. I have been working unbelievably hard this semester with 20.5 units. Thank you for ruining the possibilities for me to use my Humboldt State teaching credentials to get a job some day…
Did Jimmy Kimmel even go to college? Probably not, seeing as how now he’s a sleazy talk show host who has to pick on other people to boost his shit ratings that he’s loosing to toddlers and tiaras or drag race or some other show. If he did go to college, great job using that degree!
f*ck you Jimmy !!!! ignorant mofo
Tha was so fucking retarded and highly insulting. This is the type of publicity that ruined hUmboldt. Next time maybe get a REAL marijuana aDvocate. That dude looked perma-high from lsd.
That guy can’t “..say anything..” or “..do anything..” He can only do and say what his masters tell him he can do and say. He’s just another “Mother Night” for the ruling class.
I can feel the butthurt from here. You people are sad little potheads aren’t you?
BUTTTTTTTTTHURRRTTTTTTTTT
This is not a show of proper respect for a school whose educators are on the cutting edge of science that can save the human race from driving their own extinction via ceaseless greed, rights abuses, overt resource consumption and environmental destruction. Marijuana advocates are not the ones with blood on their hands. HSU teaches ethics and responsibility. Recreational choices are an individual’s decisions and are not geographically based upon easily pigeon-holed stereotypes. People medicate with marijuana all over the world. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Man, some of you guys need to get a sense of humor. I lived in Arcata for over 10 years, and you know what its famous for? Weed. It was a 3 minute skit on a late night show. Jimmy is a known toker, so I really don’t think it comes from a place of hate. It will be forgotten by the time the next monologue rolls around.
As usual, Jimmy Kimmel has his head so far up his ass that it’s coming out of his mouth.
Man, you guys are a bunch of whiners. I’d rather hang out with potheads any day
Ruining the possibilities of using your Humboldt State teaching credentials to get a job?!
Well I’d never hire you because you’re stupid enough to write that.
Maybe he’s right about Humboldt State if you’re a student up there because you obviously have no critical thinking skills.
You should probably change your major to the Weed Institute or whatever it’s called.
Man, get over yourselves.
H.S.U. has serious students, where?
If it ain’t smokin’ weed, it is partying-up as student athletes to get your soccer season cancelled.
Lost the “serious” scope when “jobs” and “blame” started being falsely iterated……as if the HSU grads were gonna have a job prior to Kimmel’s “kibbles and bits joke”.
College students today are just dumbed-down stupid when it comes to economics and politics (students are taught to blame others) just as their professors taught them to be.
Besides, H.S.U.’s enrollment is too much for the community; albeit, local politicians will disagree because of the money they can pilfer while hiding away newly created AND extra impacts for the short term in order to debate years down the road on the public’s dime after the money has been pilfered.
Anyhow, hope grads get jobs, but don’t blame some comedian for their “pre-destined future of little to no employment opportunities that pay appropriately”. Chances are, enough of these “students of higher order” will be working for McDonalds, BK, KFC, WalMart, Sears, Home Depot, etc…..ya, college is so effective…..- HOJ
what could anyone expect? he’s a douche just trying to get a laugh. You have to expect this kind of reaction when announcing this kind of stuff to the public. Let it roll off, my community members, for the real news sources are doing a good job of pointing out the Institute’s true value. If any prospective employer takes their advice from Jimmy Kimmel, why would you want to work for them anyway?
the comment by AMAZING is just what the other comments area about. some people who need to make fun of others to boost their owh ego, good for you AMAZING!
Henchman Of Justice is another person that has issues. Really dude.
That was hilarious! A great example of how stupid some people up here can be…..dude, I organized a drum circle and was part of a club dedicated to the liberation of musical instruments… Wow, I don’t think Jimmy had to try very hard to rip on that guy or people like him. I guarantee it will be a waste of time. Classic!
Jimmy went to the university of LAS VEGAS and then to Arizona State where he did not receive his degree…He is doing this for laughs and attention, don’t bother taking him seriously! Who cares what Jimmy Kimmel thinks! I heard about this and then saw it was only three minutes of TV…it is not going to minimize our opportunities for jobs as long as we prove to employers that we are professional and productive members of society. There are more important things to worry about than what Jimmy Kimmel said on a three minute skit! I was amused and I am a HSU student as well. We are known as a stoner community for a reason, but there are also MANY hard working and serious students at the college as well. At least we are trying to look at it in a studious manner also!
HSU is at the bottom of the CSU system. It sucks.
So true, this is what Humboldt represents really. Getting stoned, smoking weed, barely making the grade, yep that’s Dumboldt!
fricken hillarious
Are you potheads STILL crying about this shit? really, the last thing “good” that came out of HSU was Spongebob Squarepants.
Ape Canyon isn’t on the list.
BUTT HURT BUTT HURT
HSU is a great school. Facts speak for themselves:
HSU is one of the 123 colleges named a Best Western College by The Princeton Review.
Universities-Master’s (West): Top Schools. U.S. News & World Report chose HSU as a 2010 Top Master’s Level University in the Western United States.
Humboldt State has been recognized by the National Science Foundation as ranking #1 in the nation for public, non-PhD granting institutions for Biology/Agriculture, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Mathematics, and Physical Sciences
Look like someone made a mistake. According to the HSU May 2013 calender. Commencement is scheduled for May 18th not the 13th.
Not one student or alumni commenter actually talks about the Institute and what it may represent, good or bad. U of Miami has been known as THE party school of USA for years–yet doesn’t stop people from going there. Spelling mistakes, anger and profanity in student comments are indication of very low ethics, standards and education. And as mentioned, if you can’t laugh at yourselves, you’re a bit high strung. (pun intended? You decide)
HAHAHA that was hilarious!!! I don’t understand the harm in any of this? There are two sides to HSU. I lived there for 11 years and they took away so many degree programs, such as the nursing program and graphic design, so what is left? Weed! Everyone knows Humboldt for weed. This makes me laugh so hard that anyone would get so, yes Amazing, butt hurt, over a funny skit! IT’S FUNNY!!!
If you seriously are worried about getting a job with your HSU degree over this skit you should take a look at what you are studying and if you are there to get a degree that will get you a job in the real world or just another stupid degree in something (I won’t name anything here) that are cliche’s that the slackers who go there just to get stoned get. I went to school there and at CR and both have excellent professors.
I’m so sure! Is this news to people? Like you weren’t a stoner when you decided to move away from mommy and daddy to go to HSU what a crock of $**T!!! This is so funny!!!
A word of advice if I may. If you want HSU to be such a “reputable” CSU school then how about the community and the school pulls together and start cleaning up Arcata? Clean up all of the junkies and bums and nasty people who flock there using the Plaza for their very own outhouse mmmmkay?
People want to go to HSU and live in a bubble, take anything they can out of Humboldt, inflating rent by growing and doing other stupid crap for people who actually have families and live in the community. Practice what you preach. You want to be so “high and mighty” then friggin do something about Humboldt instead of turn a blind eye to all of the poverty that surrounds you.
