Seattle, Washington, is a city where marijuana law enforcement has been on the back burner (pardon the pun) for a long time, but with the passage of Initiative 502, marijuana will soon be completely legal.  However, it won’t be legal until December 6, and between now and then the Seattle Police Department has been inundated with questions concerning marijuana.  To stop the questions, they have come up with a novel solution.  Seattle’s police have produced a user’s guide to the state’s new pot law.

The guide is called “Marijwhatnow? A Guide to Legal Marijuana Use In Seattle,” and was written by former journalist Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, who wrote for Seattle independent newspaper The Stranger.  He came up with the guide with police spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb.  It’s written in a very amusing question and answer style, and has gained a lot of popular traction on Facebook among legalized pot fans.

“I just try to write posts I’d want to read,” wrote Spangenthal-Lee via email.  “I knew we were probably going to be inundated with questions about 502, so I figured I’d try to get answers to the kinds of questions Seattle residents (and reporters) might ask, and put them out there.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
