The Weed Olympics

RATM

You've just gotta give it to those San Franciscans They now have a dope delivery service going in a few cities in Cali with new laws and regulations on the way to legitimise the use of dope even further. It's kinda funny cos I hear that there are moves in Holland to make it illegal again, looks like San Fran could become the new Amsterdam.

From the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/us/06bcpot.html?hp

In his nondescript San Francisco flat, Kevin Reed operates a sleek, efficient marijuana delivery service.

Rebecca Kaplan, an Oakland councilwoman, spoke May 29 at Oaksterdam University in favor of unionization of pot workers.
Five drivers deliver the product — glistening green buds in white paper bags — to neighborhoods throughout the city. Two operators work the phones. Flat-screen TVs display security feeds of the surrounding neighborhood.

Mr. Reed, who had a clean-shaven head and wore a pinstriped shirt, calls his business the Green Cross. It is the only pot delivery service in San Francisco with a city permit, for which Mr. Reed paid $15,000.

Getting the permit was a laborious, three-month process, and this is why Mr. Reed is watching the proliferation of rival pot delivery services — none licensed — with dismay.

“I have to compete with the guy who has 2,000 plants in a field behind his house,” Mr. Reed said in a lilting Alabama accent as he smoked a joint. “And is selling his pot for $200 an ounce in the newspaper, delivery fee included. And not paying Uncle Sam a dime.” ............As he showed off several rooms filled with marijuana plants beginning to flower, the collective’s members gathered in another room to celebrate the 76th birthday of Mr. Smith’s father, Scott Smith Jr., a former Black Panther who taught his son to garden.The celebration was to be followed by an event called “the weed Olympics,” in which the participants try to out-smoke one another.

That muck will fry ye'r brain cells lads. Best to give it a wide berth.

Disapointing.

Thought it would be an actual 'Weed Olympics' where all participants were off their bin while attempting to compete in events such as the relay and long jump.
