Fishermans Wharf Going To Pot
San Francisco's progressive attitude towards sex, drugs and rock and roll have been highlighted in the news for decades but now some are questioning whether this very attitude will bring a new class of undesired elements to their famous Wharf.
While 56% of Californians voted to pass Proposition 215, a bill which allows the use of medicinal marijuana under medical supervision, it is becoming apparent to city officials that many local residents don't want a 'pot dispensary' at one of the cities biggest tourist attractions.
"Oh yeah, this is certainly gonna make this area a big tourist attraction," said one disgruntled neighbor. "We're going to have every sick mother f***er that visits San Francisco hanging around this 'joint' venture. Next thing you know they'll put a f'ing Wall Mart in too."
But, while many see the dark cloud presented by this issue others see it as a way to increase commerce in the area not only by the pot sales themself, but by the influx of independant 'medical' experts who are flocking to the area looking for lease property hoping to get a piece of what many believe will become a cash-cow.
"I feel it's my responsibility to provide this kind of medical support," said one doctor whose brand new store boasted a sign in the window that reads 'Pain=Pot=Pleasure'. "If I can't provide my patients with this kind of relief they'll just go somewhere else, so why the hell not."

...if it's really successful, they can just rename it The Cash-Cow Palace...
