Chief Bratton Of The LAPD Would Like Marijuana To Be The New Viagra
2 April 2009, 9:45 AM. By Alex Alvarez
LAPD Chief Bratton is frustrated at the fact that, despite a state law passed thirteen years ago by voters, Los Angeles continues to extend moratoriums on new marijuana dispensaries while lawmakers draft new regulations. Why, he argues, can we not regulate and sell the drug in pharmacies, like Viagra?
If only there was something he could do to relax…
At a media event that had nothing to do with dispensaries, Bratton expressed his frustration thusly:
While I fully support [marijuana's] use for medicinal purposes, why don’t we regulate it like we do Lipitor or Viagra. You can’t buy those two without getting it through a legitimate pharmacy. If this drug is so important and so helpful, why is it not regulated like every other drug?
We can’t wait until the day we see fuzzily-lit commercials on television urging us to try “Marijuanocet” or “Weedocil” while happy couples roll through fields of clover with their golden retrievers, or ride bikes on the beach.
Back in 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law with the aim of providing ID cards to those with prescriptions for medical marijuana, but actually implementing this plan has proved difficult. Perhaps lawmakers were feeling fatigued, hungry or disoriented.
Bratton is tired of having to regulate marijuana usage himself, and also thinks that you, stoner, are a hairy dick. Or something:
I think that the policy of the federal government at this time is unfortunate. I think the policy of this state is Looney Tunes.
They pass a law, then they have no regulations as to how to enforce the darn thing and, as a result, we have hundreds of these locations selling drugs to every Tom, Dick and Harry.
Well, there’s always Weedmap.

that’d be crazy if getting a hairy dick was a side effect of smoking. I’m glad i do not have one because i’d be worried.
then it would be funny if it did happen and your name was tom. CRA-ZY.
If what I learned in my Catholic school health class is true (and of course it is!), then this actually does happen when someone smokes pot.
i just textd one of my friends asking if his peen is hairy. We’ll see what he says, he is probs still asleep.
my friend said no, no hairy peen.
Cannibatrex. Ugh I know.
Sure, smoking pot is all fun and games….until you find yourself in jail for frying up a baby with garlic and onions.
sounds like yr pot was laced with something serious & not fun. see! regulation would really work maaaaan. and tax the shit out of it and we’ll be out of our financial crisis!
