Where's The Dope?

What is the status of the great marijuana Lafayette City Council Study Session? I'm asking because I know some readers of the blog may have both the real answer as well as interesting side comments about this.

The hub-bub about the topic and the back-burnering of it strikes me as an implicit acceptance that the issue was not a major concern beyond the initial handwringing and posturing some people feel obligated to do whenever marijuana is mentioned, and that other topics were recognized to deserve more attention. At the very least I hope it means staff has been instructed to spend the time rounding up statistics to show a trending that warrants action.

I'm not pro-pot, just pro-government-out-of people's-lives-unnecessarily.

This issue went up in smoke.

Randy Luallin's Nothing Sacred show, covered a story from Superior, where the cops knocked on a door, and smelled pot, so they entered and confiscated parifinallia. He joked that if it had happened in Lafayette, the people in the house would probably have been shot, no questions asked. Not true, but fair, given the track record the last few years.

Anonymous, your comment was blunt.

Sorry to torch your stash Spicoli, but that's what was said. Perception is important. Should council be worried about making laws tougher, or convincing the police to target tougher offenses? Randy isn't exactly the best thermometer for public opinion in the area, but he does speak his mind.
