Aurora Mall Bans Medical Pot Patient Over T-Shirt
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) ―

A medical marijuana patient says wearing a pro-pot T-shirt got him banned from Town Center at Aurora.

Jake Gailey told CBS4 mall personnel approached him last weekend and told him his shirt was offensive to some customers. The shirt features a play on Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" campaign slogan and graphics but instead features the message "YES WE CANNABIS" and displays a marijuana leaf.

"I reminded him that (medical marijuana) was legal in our state, that I voted for it and I had a medical marijuana card as well," Gailey said.

Gailey, 28, was told to take the shirt off, turn it inside out or leave.

1. America..
the land of the perpetually offended.

Since when are we guaranteed that we won't be offended by someone's apparel at the mall?

3. As long as we have little Eichmans in the world, we will always accosted by them.
A mall cop badge is just as legit to boss people around as a Colonel bird is on a hat.

2. It's on the ballot in Aurora, to equal Denver's 1oz possession law.
Tensions must be rising. Of course the bored and thankless Mall Cops are just trying to show their dick size.
