No Smoking Zone

Dear Diary,

Today I went to see a place on Lorimer. It was grand. However, the lady renting the room was not. She hates smoke. She told me that even though we have 2 (TWO!) large terraces that she would prefer a roommate that didn’t smoke cigarettes. I was sad (appalled). She then told me that the only rule she had (clearly, aside from cigarette smoking) was no drugs. Being a long time friend of Mary Jane I thought pot was obviously moved from the “drug” category into the “medicinal” category, making it therefore not a drug. I was wrong (and sad). Ashia is to pot as I am to heroin. Sure the thought of doing it (for me) and knowing people who’ve loved it (addiction and again, for me not her) might have driven me to do it by now, but in all honesty what’s wrong with a little pot?

Moral: Smoke all the pot you desire, because when it comes to finding a roof over your head you might have to turn down that apartment off Lorimer, 3 doors from 5 Leaves with 2 terraces and free parking simply because it doesn’t allow you to inhale.

Love always,

V
