'High' Hopes For West Hollywood
People are flocking to West Hollywood, California to enjoy a 'pot-luck' experience now that city officials have gone public with their plan to make public consumption of marijuana a doable thing.
In a 'joint' effort, residents, city officials and police personnel got together to hammer out the terms under which this new policing policy would affect the area.
"All we're asking for is that law enforcement turn the other cheek when they see someone smoking a joint because we want our town to be mellow as hell," said one official. "Many of our citizens are already using this drug therapy for "medicinal" purposes and we don't want to force them to smoke behind closed doors because that creates a stigma that only furthers their esteem issues."
While critics argue that consumption of this drug induces laziness, lack of motivation and other such characteristics in certain individuals, others argue that it will bring a new element to the area--happy carefree citizens who are less phased by current war news, global warming, death by air pollution, and our current national government.
Officials are hoping that consumers will benefit the most, especially those who like to eat out.
"We are hoping that by allowing our residents to dope themselves in public it will help to revitalize the food service industry by adding new restaurants and fast food drive-thru services," officials said. "We've already been approached by several snack food companies who are hoping to open several shops along Santa Monica Boulevard, and we feel this will not only add to the ambiance of our quaint neighborhood it will also give a boost to cities revenues."
One young man who recently got wind of this new proposed law said this is good news.
"Whooooa duuuude, that's like really cool."
