As the weeded citizenry hoped, the DC City Council yesterday legalized medical marijuana in the District. Let chiefas ring, from Hobart Street to Georgetown! Alas—across the country, the weedheads of Los Angeles were simultaneously receiving terrible news.

The fallout from the January vote by the LA City Council to wantonly restrict the number of medical marijuana dispensaries—heretofore referred to by us as "doctor ganja's house"—is now hitting the city's sad, sad streets. The city is ordering 439 (dude!) dispensaries to shut down, leaving L.A.'s glaucoma sufferers with a mere 130 legal spots, and like, 13,000 illegal spots. What is this, Russia?

[To all my friends left in DC: Get your prescriptions. Safety first.]
