Colorado barber shop keeps pot-stinking customers out

GREELEY, Colo. - You know the sign "no shirt, no shoes, no service"?

Well, a Colorado barber shop is now refusing to serve people who smell a certain way.

The owner, Hugo Corral, said the stench of marijuana on some of his customers got so bad, he had to do something about it.

When Corral first hung a sign out in front of his barber shop announcing the new pot-stench-free policy, he had no idea how much attention it would bring.

"I feel that it's my right to make the statement," Corral said. "It's the same thing as no shoes, no service."

Throw your stones here. I hate the stink of the stuff. And, yes, it stinks in your hair and clothes. Yes, it does.
Regular tobacco smells, too.
Some businesses will have to choose, or lose my business.

Go ahead and scream at me. It's my choice.
