My favorite part of the article:
quote:
New Orleans officials are exploring what can be done about a small fleet of Weed World Candies vehicles that seem to have multiplied in the Central Business District in recent weeks. The vehicles are wrapped in a glaring graphics advertising marijuana-laced confections and are often parked on or near Bourbon Street.
quote:
Authorities say the business is a scam designed to dupe unwitting tourists into paying high prices for candy that doesn’t contain any THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. But Commander Nick Gernon, who leads the New Orleans Police Department’s 8th District, said he believes Weed World van drivers may be involved in small-time marijuana sales.
My favorite part of the article:
quote:
Aaron Motwani, whose family owns 10 stores along Canal Street, said the Weed World vans are bad for legitimate business owners. The people who operate the vehicles are very aggressive, he said. and when they’re parked in front of one of his stores, tourists avoid his legitimate businesses trying to get away from the street hawkers. “If someone’s going to go to one of my stores and they’re automatically confronted, they just skip the store and keep on walking,” Motwani said. “It’s terrible for the city and tourists don’t need to see that. These guys skirt the law, don’t pay anything and harass our customers."

If that baw thinks the trashy weed vans are the only people harassing his customers in fricking New Orleans he must have never left his store.

I was a block off Canal and a guy was standing by one of those vans. He handed me a lollipop which, because I really wasn't paying attention, I took. He then jumped in front of me and demanded payment. I tried to give it back and he wouldn't take it. I then flipped it in his general direction and walked off. frick those guys.
It was my impression that he thought I was a tourist and he could intimidate me into paying. For whatever reason, I constantly get pegged as a tourist by the idiots down there. Especially the "got yo shoes" guys. As soon as I open my mouth they realize I am local and walk away.

That’s a classic symptom of marijuana abuse. I can’t believe this is allowed to go on unchecked. One more reason to avoid NO.

The cops let them openly sell weed out there, and they’re too stupid to let that be enough for them. They have to be pieces of shite and harass people forcing the cops to make a move. Some people will never make it in life

Pretty amusing coming from the Motwani's, who have helped ruin the Canal Street corridor.
