Up In Smoke

The students recently arrested in the AAPD pot bust were “set up” by the city’s tolerant attitude toward marijuana, writes Ann Arbor resident Bill Barker. In particular, “You were set up to believe growing and selling pot would be overlooked because this council needs your student vote.” Can we have some of whatever he’s smoking?

  1. Even right now, poor juveniles are being set up by the awesome sex that you can have while high out of your mind. Sure, your demon weed might make you moist or erect, but what solace is a hard-on in Hell? If those pot growers had just stopped fucking nubile red-eyed teens long enough to realize that their mind-blowing orgasms were the path to the penitentiary, they would have cast aside the doobies, bongs and bubblers that were setting them up to take the fall!
    Man, this city’s about to set that dude up to have his car egged…


  2. Pot might give you a hard on than Ron Jeremy might be jealous of, and you might be able to dot a Ann Arbor girl’s eyes with a 9 roper or something, but for fuck’s sake, it isn’t that these guys were set up, but that pot makes you lose motivation to care about anything other than finding a taco bell open at 4:00 AM, even if it means driving stoned to Cleveland. And who cares anyway about these 22 people? Certainly the city council has never given a shit about my vote, therefore, I doubt they would have given two shits for these 22 kids who probably don’t even have residency status anyway.

    Defies. Logic.


  3. My friend’s brother, in high school, did drive to Ohio once to eat at a Hardee’s. Then he and his traveling companion promptly turned around and came back. All told, it was about 4, 5 hours of driving, and I think they set out at around 9 or 10.

    And all this time, I didn’t think to connect that with pot. Christ. It all makes sense now.
