Weeding Out

A Los Angeles Times mapping info-graphic called "Where's the weed?" built on Google maps shows the location of marijuana dispensaries. Of course, this map could be used by two separate groups of viewerships: those who want to pursue citizen law enforcement in the name of not-in-my-backyard wholesomeness and those who might be looking for the product themselves. Note the absence of dispensaries in liberal Santa Monica, which has allowed for head shops to open in the past.
