Cedar Point and good ol’ Canton earned column space — not to mention color photographs — in the May issue of the internationally circulated High Times magazine where the motto is “Celebrating the counterculture.”But first, the Canton cannabis conundrum. Those of the straight-and-narrow persuasion probably were unaware of the significance of the number 420. For marijuana mavens, it’s the code word for prime smoking time.
And so it was that last November, the folks at Your Pizza Shop located, incidentally, at 420 12th St. NW, put up a sign reading, “Got Munchies? Our 420 Fried Special — Large 2-item Pizza, Combo of 3 Finger Foods, $14.20.”An indignant, self-described DARE graduate, demanded the sign’s removal, citing its drug references. The sign came down, but the menu still offers daily tongue-in-cheek specials like Munchie Monday, Toasted Tuesday and Green Leaf Wednesday. Shop owner Pat Koury told High Times that business is booming. “People are coming from other towns and even other counties to walk in and giggle while they choose their orders. In a way, (the complaining woman) was right about the sign drawing a crowd. It’s just not the violent crowd she feared,” he said, “but a surprising number of supportive people who believe in our right to promote our shop as we please.”The Cedar Point reference, sitting atop the Canton story, crowed over the park’s newest roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster, described in mainstream press as the fastest and highest in the world. Cedar Point’s Janice Witherow, public relations manager, commented, “We were not aware Cedar Point was mentioned. And we do have a very strict policy for substance abuse inside the park.”Complete Title: Bold Face: Canton Pizza Shop Featured in High Times MagazineSource: Repository, TheAuthor: Diana RossettiPublished: Sunday, March 30, 2003Copyright: 2003 The RepositoryContact: letters cantonrep.comWebsite: http://www.cantonrep.com/Related Article & Web Site:High Times Magazinehttp://www.hightimes.com/420 12th NW Pizza Shop Signs Off on 420 Specialhttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread14778.shtmlCanton Woman Angry About Pizza Parlor Signhttp://mapinc.org/drugnews/v02/n2105/a10.html

An indignant, self-described DARE graduate, demanded the sign’s removal... Does the DARE grad realize it is wicked to cage humans for using a plant?  They don't teach that, do they?A DARE-fried brain is a brainwashed brain.Diaper scrap.
