Ron Artest and other obnoxious rich idiots are against marijuana legalization

​NBA loudmouth Ron Artest of the Los Angeles Lakers is always happy to share his opinions, no matter how dumb they are, on any subject — and marijuana is no exception.

“Even if they legalize marijuana, I won’t be smoking marijuana,” Ron-Ron told Kevin Ding of The Orange County Register.

“So there you have it,” writes The Daily Heat. “The man who once admitted to drinking before his games while on the Chicago Bulls roster (who wouldn’t?) has turned turned over a new leaf.”
But the would-be political commentator Artest wasn’t content to spread his vast knowledge on the subject only with the Register
“He took his fight to the one true intellectual battlefield (apart from Opposing Views) left in the world: Twitter,” The Daily Heat tells us.

This is the van that handed out free pop lollipops at the Lakers’ parade on Monday.

​​Some of that happiness among fans at the Los Angeles Lakers’ parade on Monday might have been other than the “thrill of victory” kind. As reported here on Toke of the Town on Tuesday, a mysterious medical marijuana truck emblazoned with WeedWorldCandies.com was giving out free pot lollipops along the parade route.

The truck was handing out marijuana lollipops in hues of orange and blue, the Lakers’ team colors.

​It was a high old time at the Lakers’ victory parade in Los Angeles Monday. A medical marijuana truck emblazoned with WeedWorldCandies.com was giving out free pot lollipops along the parade route, according to Gale Holland at the Los Angeles Times.

The truck was handing out marijuana lollipops in hues of orange and blue, the Lakers’ team colors, according to the Times.
The pot truck, itself, was green, “with a photo mural of young women in bikinis sorting marijuana leaves,” Holland reports. (If anybody has or can get a picture of the truck, I’d love to run it here on Toke of the Town.)
