They say too many pot places in WeHo, but a lot more are coming. You have the one by Crescent Heights, the one at Flaming Saddles, the one by the Pleasure Chest and some on Sunset Blvd.
Yeah, yet another pot shop. look at our elected officials falling all over themselves.
Maybe they were all high.
Really wish they didn’t look so damn star struck. Just look at Horvath’s face. A real embarrassment.
