Montreal 'bring your own pot' cafe opens

Montreal police are expected to keep a close watch on Saturday's opening of a new marijuana cafe in the city. That won't be difficult, because there's a police station just down the road.

Owners of Chez Marijane will allow patrons to smoke pot on the premises, but they won't be selling the drug.

The space will double as the political offices of the Bloc Pot, which says the cafe will be used to push for the legalization of marijuana.

City councillor Nicolas Tetrault has warned the activists that police will intervene if people are caught smoking pot at the new cafe.

The head of the Marijuana Party of Canada, Boris St. Maurice, has said it will be hard for police to stop people from smoking up.

There are many shops in Vancouver BC that cater to potheads. But what do you expect when the outgoing PM Chitern supports the legalization of Pot.

You have to admit, an establishment that sells food and encourages it's patrons smoke pot IS a profitable idea! Why do you think bars give you salty treats for free?

This may be a good place to start a business. We should call it the Snack Bar.
