Our elected officials—some of them—talk about whether they’ve toked

A proposition to legalize marijuana will probably be on the November ballot, and—in a sure sign that our attitudes toward the long-illegal devil’s weed may be softening—eight of nine Long Beach City Council members surveyed actually spoke to a reporter about whether or not they’ve toked. (Apologies to KPCC-FM’s Frank Stoltze, who recently asked the same question of Los Angeles City Council.) The other man—Third District Councilman Gary DeLong—didn’t respond; and neither did Mayor Bob Foster.
