Pot smokers sue San Diego, say long drives to dispensaries pollute air

Medical marijuana smokers in San Diego say the city has forced their pot shops to locate in remote areas and that means the drives to and from will increase air pollution — and ultimately, harm their lungs.

The Union of Medical Marijuana Patients has filed a lawsuit, saying the city is violating the California Environmental Quality Act, United Press International reported.

The suit names as defendants the Coastal Commission and the city of San Diego and claims the zoning laws put in place for marijuana dispensaries means patients have to actually get in their cars to drive to the remote locations — and the additional drive times will only increase the city’s air pollution levels.

On top of that, some patients, perhaps those without cars, will now have to grow their own marijuana plants, an activity that further contributes to global warming, the suit says, UPI reported.

Perhaps they consider it a matter of public safety, to prevent scenarios like this. Just throw in the globull warning angle, because, well, because they can.

Some stoneys came up with this idea of a lawsuit after tokin’ a joint.

You wouldn’t expect stories like this in a country that was actually sane.

Just emblematic of how America continues to slip into madness and degeneracy. America 2014: dopeheads, faggotry, open-borders, and socialism. My God, what a pathetic and grotesque embarrassment this country has devolved down to.

If the druggies need their fix for their pain then why can they drive so far with that pain?

I suppose these druggies would like to have their drugs delivered to their house too.

Government should exist to block trouble-makers from making your life hard through force, fraud, fear, or theft.

But today, the greatest source of force, fraud, fear, and theft is the government. And so many people want the government to do more, more, more.

imagine talking about this, drugs or marriage 20 years ago.
Now talk like this back then would be classed as nuts and shocking, but sadly today we just sigh at how nuts some people have become

And therein lies your problem.
You believe this is real. I realized some time ago, we are avatars living in some-body’s bizarre computer world.

Can't help you on that one, but Al Gore has stated publicly that smoking cigarettes is responsible for global warming

I think the city should have mobile pot shops. Move them around and make the potheads drive all over to find them.

I’m waiting for the day when it is announced that smoking MM causes lung cancer (maybe it already happened and I missed it).
