Brickbat: Butt of the Joke

Health officials in Ontario have ordered the High Limits medical marijuana lounge to remove all of its ashtrays. Under the province's anti-tobacco laws no business can provide ashtrays. Marijuana smokers must now flick their ashes onto the tables and countertops.

Empty Coke can, flowerpots, saucers - lots of things aren't ashtrays. Flowerpots are handy for whacking dumbass codes inspectors upsidethe head, too.

No butts about it.

no ifs, ands or ...wait for it...BUTTS!

[Copernicus would chip]

You just tell the officials that the receptacles aren't ash trays.
Ash trays are used to collect burnt tobacco, thus the anti-tobacco law forbidding them.
These particular objects are marijuana waste containers.
Do I have to think of everything?

[Fist of Etiquette]

THEN SNORT THE ASHES. Do I have to think of everything for you stoners?

[Radioactive]

yeah, pretty much, they're stoners after all...their thinkers don't work so good anymore

They could sell those little aluminum ones places like McDonalds used to put out. Sell them for a penny apiece.

Problem solved.

"These aluminum plates are not ashtrays, they're lids for customer's coffee cups. I know we don't sell coffee, but a lot of our customers drink it, and we don't want them to get anything in their drinks."

If you want to go that way, just leave a pot of coffee out during business hours. It doesn't have to be drinkable, it just has to be available.

Huh-huh, butt.

Huh-huh, huh-huh huh.

Why not drill holes in tables near the seats? For butts? Put receptacles under them but out of site.

And make a political statement with it. Put photos of Canadian politicians and make their mouth the butt holes. Then it becomes a First Amendment issue and the gov...oh never mind. I forgot you didn't have one of those.

[UnCivilServant]

Yeah... Canukistan was the place that put a guy on trial for disagreeing with feminists. Freedom of speech is not their strong suit.

[Rhywun]

Can't wait til someone gets busted for lacing their medical marijuana with tobacco.

[Hi there!]

No ash trays, huh? What's needed is a machine that can take used-up plant matter and transform it into a beneficial mulch for flower beds and such. Do any of you know of such a machine?

[pan fried wylie]

it's not mulch so much as soil amendment, PK and micronutrients, and doesn't require processing before application. though it's probably a good idea if people aren't flicking burning debris directly into a flower bed.
