Would you want Frankie and his friends building aircraft?

I don't want drunks building aircraft - what should we do to deter that?

‘Cept it’s not true. He already established a “private” smokers club to get around the smoking ban. This just allows them to smioke marijuana as well as tobacco in the private club.

No one knows for sure if Schnarr is breaking the law by allowing his patrons to smoke marijuana at his establishment.

“Marijuana remains illegal under federal law,” said Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle. “I can’t tell you whether what he’s doing is legal or not.”

Since when do business owners have a positive obligation to ensure that their patrons comply with federal laws?

I bet when you pay your $10/yr, they either tell you, or point to a sign that tells you.

So drunk only behind the wheel is ok? Hoo-kay!

!!!!!

The stoner's the guy in the right hand lane doing 15 MPH below the speed limit, jamming out to Foghat on the radio.

No, it isn’t hoo-kay. Drunk behind the wheel is bad enough. Now you add the stoned component to it. Doesn’t help things.

Maybe some enterprising person should set up a cab stand right outside o' Frankie's "joint."

Capitalism solves yet another of society's most awful problems.

Bingo! Thanks for nailing it. The Left and their Cafeteria Libertarianism is gonna make my head explode.

Of course, it's not really bingo if you read the actual story.

I suffer from Pernicious Dandruff and Toastaphobia. The only relief I get is after I smoke a pipe of choom. Now, there will be a place in Washington where I can go to escape the intolerable pain I suffer as my scalp dies and falls off. And while many see toast as merely heat-hardened bread, those of us suffering from the horrors of Toastaphobia recoil in terror at the sight of slices of whole wheat thrusting forth from that most cruel of all appliances, the toaster. If it wasn’t for the courage producing effects of choom, I would spend my waking hours trembling at the white flakes on my shoulders and the fear-inducing smell of cooking bread. Choom allows me to face a world engulfed in flecks of dead scalp and heated bread. Some may use choom to escape reality, but, to me, it allows the freedom to purchase Head And Shoulders shampoo and sit in a Denny’s without cowering under a table.

Sooo—IF second hand smoke is bothersome to workers in a bar, how come second hand MARIJUANA smoke isn’t harmful?

Is everyone going to leave that bar at closing time high???

Probably, that’s why lots of people go to bars. This way, you could make 1 beer last all nite by just hanging around the pot smokers and inhaling. Besides, I bet 6 beers gets you higher than 2nd hand pot smoke.

I bet one beer does (unless you're right next to a burning pile of confiscated pot).

I hope more establishments like Frankies start popping up. That way, after a few years or so, we’ll actually have data on the effects of legalisation instead of people just saying it’s evil or it’s ok.

Read the article, the smoking (tobacco and marijuana) law vis-a-vis Frankie’s and the employees, and how the owner bucked the State law banning public smoking, is explained in detail.

There’s no combustion in vaporizing.
