CityBeat Journalist Smokes Pot, Finds It Newsworthy |

 CLIFTON - Cincinnati Police are investigating a reported pot-smoking circle in Burnet Woods on April 9th. Detectives were tipped off by CityBeat's Greg Flannery, who attended the Global 3 Conference and thoughtfully mentioned the "marijuana workshop" in his Porkopolis column.
Flannery had enjoyed Global 3, but reportedly kept telling the straight-edge anti-globalists at the conference that he was "jonesin' for a joint, dudes." Flannery eventually found a few vipers who would help him "burn one in Burnet Woods." Since almost nobody ever smokes marijuana in Cincinnati, Flannery decided to give the event some well-deserved coverage in his weekly column.
Like any true journalist, Flannery keeps all his anonymous sources strictly confidential. In this case, he refused to tell police his source for the killer weed.
"Even Stephanie Dunlap couldn't get this kind of exclusive story." Flannery told police, "No, I don't regret writing about it. That chronic was the coolest part of the whole conference. So it obviously deserved a paragraph in Porkopolis. Also I needed to segue into the blurb about Christopher Smitherman. I wonder if that dude smokes weed." |
