Some people are screaming what else but racism after a Wisconsin restaurant said it will not seat people drenched in the skunk smell of marijuana.
At the Mayfair Collection in Wauwatosa, the parking lot at Golden Nest Pancakes and Cafe is always packed. But now, some customers feel like they’re caught in the middle. It’s because of this sign inside: “Please do not enter if you smell of marijuana. Golden Nest Pancake and Cafe is a family restaurant and this is unappealing while guests are dining.”... “I think this is fairly hilarious at all that this has become an issue,” said Doney. “A lot of our customers were complaining about individuals that we were allowing in the restaurant that smelled like marijuana or a skunk, actually, which is how they attributed it.” Some say they feel the sign is targeted. “Basically, a group of young individuals. A group of African American individuals that you do not want visiting,” said customer Yolanda. “You cannot exclude someone for smelling like marijuana just like you cannot exclude someone for having body odor. I don’t see the difference.” Doney says that’s not the case. “There’s no demographics about it. I don’t care if you’re old, young, doesn’t matter,” said Doney. “We’ve never had any other issues with any other odor before.” “I think marijuana was very intentional because had they said no smelling of smoke, then maybe everyone wouldn’t feel so targeted,” said Raines. “Why can’t I come in and have breakfast? My money is as good as anyone else’s.” Others say they’re worried other restaurants may follow suit. Article
They worry "other restaurants may follow suit"? We can hope such happens. I don't give a damn if an adult smokes weed. I also don't care if someone drinks. However, no one likes being around someone who reeks of booze and many don't want to be around people that smell like a skunk.
It is a smell that is getting harder to escape. One can't walk through Walmart or Kroger without smelling it. You smell it driving down the road. If they want to scream racism, tough luck. It's called enforcing civilized behavior. People don't want to smell your stinky skunk-smelling ass so take your money and go somewhere else.
Kingfish note: Koestler Prime enforces a similar policy. Are there other restaurants in the Jackson metro area that do as well?

The restaurant has the right to not serve people for smelling like weed. I do believe grown adults should be able to make up there own mind if they want to smoke weed
Simple solution is to stop smoking blunts so you don’t reek. It’s not just the cannabis smell. It’s the dog turd smell of cigars mixed with cannabis that is unique to the AA toker.
Just plain stanky
This is fake news. You can always find some person willing to go on camera with foolishness the media likes to blow up. Their are plenty of black institutions and people who do not want the smell of marijuana in their premises and find it annoying. You can always find some idiot willing to ignite the race fire for nothing at all.
Culture.
