Let’s get one thing straight: Smoking marijuana — inside, outside, wherever — is not a new phenomenon for this or any other neighborhood in the city.
A college town and centrally located transportation hub? Yeah, there’s been plenty of pot around from long before it became legal.
Now that a private club is planning to welcome cannabis aficionados for a legal, social smoke (and a small fee), though, city officials are aghast.
Hitch couldn’t pass on this opportunity.
