Hemp Brownies At "Toasted" Sub Shop Aren't Illegal
<snip>

Two-foot-long papier-mâché joints rest above one of the restaurant's doors and TV set. The menu offers Thai Stick, White Widow and Northern Lights — sandwiches and salads, not strands of marijuana.

Next to the cash register sits a 4-inch-high figurine of a man smoking a joint and a basket filled with "hemp brownies" and Rice Krispies bars.

Pictures of men in Afros getting high decorate the walls; there's a marijuana leaf clock, and a poster of a 1950s salesman with "marijuana" printed at the top and "Proud sponsors of ... um ... we forget!" on the bottom.

No, it's not a college student's dream cafeteria. All of these images contribute to the ambience at the new Cheba Hut "Toasted" Subs shop on Baxter Avenue.

If there is a dream, it belongs to co-owner Josh Lee, a 23-year-old student who until recently attended concerts where hemp brownies and Rice Krispies bars were shared and who understands the connection between food and marijuana.

2. By law, 'marijuana' is defined as...
...the flowers, leaves, and fertile seeds of the cannibis plant. The stalks and seeds that have been sterilized are specifically excluded in the law's definition (if Anslinger's definition still stands, which I think it does).

BTW, you used to be able to buy 50 lb bags of sterlized seeds from China as 'birdseed'. They're kind of dried out, so they don't have as much oil as fresh seeds, but they work for making hemp milk (similar to soy milk).
