Monday, on the eve of marijuana legalization in Alaska, the Wasilla City Council banned making pot brownies at home.
Fewer than three hours before recreational marijuana use became legal across the state, the city known for a freewheeling attitude about everything from big box stores to ATVs passed what may at least for now be the strictest local laws governing recreational pot use in Alaska.
The council with a 4-2 vote essentially limited marijuana use within city limits to smoking -- or consuming edibles made outside the city -- on private property. Even smoking at home is illegal -- if it bothers the neighbors.
The new regulations include a ban on making edibles, concentrates or extracts at home. And at least within Wasilla city limits, it’s now illegal to transport more than 2 ounces of marijuana inside one vehicle. State law allows up to 1 ounce per adult but doesn’t limit totals. The regulations prohibit marijuana clubs and require that the use of marijuana "cease immediately" if other residents or neighbors are disturbed.
Okay first off how could smoking pot in your own home "bother" your neighbors? What are you suddenly too mellow and laid back for the neighborhood?
And second I don't think the people of Wasilla even know how to make brownies without pot in them.
Look Wasilla is known for only a couple of things; Stupid politicians, high levels of sexual assault, gun fatalities, meth, and the best marijuana in the state. (I'm relatively sure those are not all related.)
Telling Wasilla residents to stop smoking pot in their homes is like asking the Palin family to saying stupid things and starting fights at parties, it just isn't going to work.
Not only that but when the state laws are finally all ironed out they will supersede these laws making this whole thing relatively moot.
Which makes you wonder, are these people high?
