Need weed, need weed

A City Councilwoman in Baltimore is proposting to close bodegas that are havens for illegal drug activity, reports Convenience Store News:

In an effort to reduce drug dealing around corner convenience stores in residential neighborhoods, a city councilwoman is pushing for legislation that would give police the authority to temporarily close such businesses.

Illegal drugs? At bodegas? It couldn't possibly be! If they did this in New York City, I would immediately suggest they close the 123rd & Malcolm X bodega, where weed is smoked openly and a guy sometimes walks in circles muttering "need weed, need weed."
