Cannais prohibition has been ended in Washington State.
As of the 6th of December 2012, we are free to smoke…smoke responsibly.

The people have spoken…

Yeah, 4900+ arrests in 6 years is ~15 a week. if they made 3 arrests at each bust, that would make it closer to 5 busts a week.

That was a very intersting and funny column. I’d like to see the movie. I bet Gleason and Carney are great together.I’m suprised Capone and the other big bootlegers didn’t have their leg-breakers go after them!

“…they knew that any white costumer would have little chance of being served.”
I’m really sure you meant customer (someone who makes a purchase), as a costumer is someone who makes costumes.

Great article, but can’t be factually trusted. It claims they busted an average of 100 joints a week. Nonsense!

Going seven days a week that still amounts to 15 a day, or 1 every half hour.

Even ten joints a week would be pushing it…

I think this is one of the most interesting articles I’ve read anywhere in a long time. Thank you for the post! I want to go read a history book all about Izzy and Moe right now!

With the history of the madness of prohibition … wouldn’t you think our legislators would figure out a way to legalize marijuana and similar?

People who want it are going to get it.

Jackie Gleason and Art Carney portrayed the two agents in the 1985 movie, “Izzy and Moe”.
