Try Legal Weed! --What? You're Talking About Beer?
Federal alcohol regulators are asking Vaune Dillmann of Mount Shasta Brewing Company to stop producing bottle caps for his beer with the slogan "Try Legal Weed." See, apparently these alcohol regulators think that Dillmann is referencing the illegal marijuana (technically, it's still illegal, people -- let's not get in a snit) but really, oh my goodness, he's not!
Dillmann says the Mary Jane reference is to the town where the brewery is located: Weed, California. In fact, Dillmann "scoffs" at the notion that people think he's talking about la Ganja. He's had the word "Weed" (again, the town, not the plant) on all of his beers for yeeeears. He isn't, as the federal regulators are trying to suggest, "[misleading] consumers about the characteristics of the alcoholic beverage."
Heh. Sure. Try some Weed. As the site says, "Weed. A flavor yet to be discovered." Really. We're still talking about beer, here.

Well I figured if I moved out of San Francisco I'd would have liked to move to ' Cool' California... yes there is a town by that name...
But now.... it's ' Weed' California, they got beer to :-)
The BATF is legendary for having no sense of humor. Well, I guess if we take refuge in our guns, tobacco, and alcohol, SOMEBODY sober has to be in charge.
I went to Summer camp with two people from Cool, and I've also driven through Weed. I recommend not leaving S.F.— ever.
As I said .... ' if '
fair enough
( Hic ) " I left my harp in Sam Clam's Disco " (Hic).... awwwwwww.. heck why move there when I can problalby find a place that sells it (hic ) or else I could probably order it online.... (hic)
