First Weed at a World Series?

Curious what you mean about marijuana being lawful or "allowed" in CA.
California does not "allow" weed. Like other States, there is a very limited recognition for medicinal use.
The issue to legalize marijuana is on the ballot next Tuesday. From nearly every poll, it looks like it will be defeated.
The Federal Government has indicated that even if the Proposition were to pass, it will not recognize the law and will enforce drug laws in CA that involve marijuana.
Don't believe everything you read. This is a non-issue.

I am sure the folks had a "medical need and a prescription" for the weed

I do not believe that the Federal Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 has ever actually been rescinded. (Although the Boggs bill was described as superceding it.)

The law was the result of bickering between agencies and the inability to agree on a law criminalizing an act that, at the time, was described as limited to a specific race in certain locales.

While the debate rages on over legalization, let's start collecting the tax.

Vlad looked like he had a "medicinal need" last night in the outfield.

Are you sure there's not a "doctor" at a concession stand writting prescriptions and that can be filled at the next door concession stand?

I am sure there would be a big need with many fans and players having symptoms that could "warrant" a prescription like: apprehension, not able to sleep (before the game), lost of appetite.

I like Ron White's explanation for his need for medical marijuana...depression.

"I get depressed when I'm out of marijuana."

As a 10 year old, I attended the 1973 World Series - Oakland vs the Mets... That was my first exposure to second hand smoke!!!

If there were "illicit" substances at AT&T Park last night - and I would not be surprised at all if there were - it would be far from the first to be inhaled at a world series game....

Let's not forget Tug McGraw's quote from the mid 70's:

Sportswriter: Tug - what do you think of Artificial Grass?

Tug: I don't know, I never smoked it.

Ranger fans may be experiencing depression. Look for snack sales to skyrocket in the Rangers sections.

I heard Lincecum was on Stub Hub looking for a seat in the stands.

This is funny because when Lincecum ran the runner back to third base in the first inning, I said to my wife, "He has got to be stoned".

Strike 3,

That's funny because my wife and I both looked at each other and she said, " Oh no, Tim's on the weed again".

I think people would be truly surprised (but shouldn't be) at all of the skeletons that could be pulled out of players closets; everything from smoking their own stuff, to how they spend their time on the internet, to their sexual preferences, and more. Lincecum's puff would likely pale in comparison to many things that go in in people's lives, and ballplayers are people.

and the closets of message board posters

Trick or Treat!

There was a lot of pot in the bleachers at Fenway in the 70's.

On the pre-game show for one of the local Dallas area channels the reporter said the smell of marijuana was permeating the air outside the stadium. He also said that Josh Hamilton had commented that during game 1 he could smell marijuana smoke in the outfield.

Sounds like there really is weed at the World Series....

We are talking about California here, right? That explains a lot.

One of the tee shirts at the NLCS was "Lincecum Smokes Phillies." For the uninformed Phillie Blunts are a cheap corner store cigar.

I think RJM was referring to Boston.

Josh Hamilton Smells Weed

Here's logic for you. A friend's son was ticketed for public consumption of alcohol at the Salem MA Halloween Street Festival. It's a misdemeanor with a $75 fine. Had he been smoking pot it would be a misdemeanor with a $35 fine.

Wow, something smells funny about that....

Stranger things have happened in Salem...some of the ghosts are still talking about it!

Yeah, he's lucky he didn't get burned at the stake!

One time I was walking through Salem a woman was screaming at us from a second story window of a house. We thought it was part of the act of the city. We found out later it was just a crazy lady.

Bet I'm the only guy in South korea right now with a genuine "Big Time Timmy Jim" t-shirt, and I'm wearing it right now (at work, no less)! Though not particularly a Rangers fan, I have a great appreciation for Cliff Lee as a man and as a pitcher. After all, he played for my Mariners. But having been a Giants fan as a kid, then skipping over them during the Bonds years because of the singular spotlight on one player, it is nice to be back to cheering them on - a TEAM, not a spotlight individual.
GO GIANTS!
