Kevin Sabet’s Secret Weapon: The Stoned Diner Epidemic

My little buddy, Kevin Sabet, has grown so tired of me on Twitter that he has blocked my account. I take it as a moral victory, though I’m disheartened to know I can’t communicate with him anymore.

I want to point out that I was never cruel or mean to Sabet. I simply would disagree with him, sometimes with humor or sarcasm, and try and point out why what he was saying about cannabis was bullshit. But he just buried his head in the sand, nursing that allergy he has to facts and truth.

Luckily, Sabet cannot stop me from seeing what he posts to Twitter, even if I can’t wipe egg in his face directly.

Recently, Sabet tweeted about an article from Food and Wine magazine which discusses that, in Denver, there is an epidemic of people going to restaurants so stoned that they just pass out in their food during the meal.

The article is quite short and talks to one chef. I’m not saying that this doesn’t happen, but to say that it’s happening to such an extent that restaurant owners are complaining is just assinine. I worked in the restaurant business for many years, even working in one post state legalization. This Sabet tweet is the first and only time I have ever heard of this happening.

Also, every single chef I have ever worked for (there have been at least a dozen) has been a huge stoner. Great food and weed have been best friends since the dawn of time. Why would a chef who wants to make money off selling food gripe about something that makes people hungry?

Gee, I wonder why a magazine that touts the awesomeness of wine would have something against cannabis? To be fair to Food and Wine, their piece doesn’t sound negative at all, it really is just a silly little story. I do think it’s pretty hysterical, however, that Kev-bo thought it was a good enough feather in his quill to blast it out to his followers. I’ll bet he saved the souls of like forty stoners with that mindblowing news piece.

I know it’s against the moral code and all, but if there was ever anyone who needed a drive-by toking, it’s Sabet. Come on, Kev! Would you just roast a little sativa and chill your ass out already?
