There's been no organized attempt to make this marijuana week here at GMiJ, but yesterday's "They Deliver Pot!" story from the Press has a natural analogue in this Seattle Times piece on another source for the drug: Craigslist. After the jump, the offending passage.


Now, clearly, this is not as bad as the Press piece. Yes, it's your basic, "Oooh, people buy pot" story, but it's mainly straightforward for what it is. Until, you know, they go crazy with that whole stoner lingo:

Eric scans craigslist for ads placed by people who are seeking pot. More often than not, he'll find someone posting an ad looking for marijuana using code names like "Mary Jane," "MJ," "the sticky icky," "the chronic" and "420."

Reading this piece made Dave Chappelle quit his job again.
