Two men killed in attempted pot theft on first day of legal toking

12/8/2012

For every marijuana enthusiast who believed the world would be more peaceful after pot was legalized, day one of legal reefer in Washington state got off to a bad start. Two men were killed while attempting to rob a marijuana growing facility, though neither the would-be robbers nor the victim seemed to be high at the time. Reactions on Twitter ranged from @bryancstewart saying, "Just goes to show this is still a culture of death and crime," to @lennyzelms bemoaning, "this wont look good to the FEDs, someone always has to ruin it." But maybe @DiHuang said it best: "Funny how people get excited about piles of leaves." [Source]
