N.J. Man Sues Country Club Over Pot Brownie


It sounds like the kind of country club that exists only in the stoned imaginations of Cheech & Chong, but apparently it’s real: Barry Russo is suing the Copper Hill Country Club in New Jersey, claiming some members there of serving him a pot-laced brownie. Russo, 68, is a diabetic, and went to the hospital complaining of dizziness and numbness—so it’s possible that the “brownie” and not the “pot” part of this story is where things went wrong. Nonetheless, this story makes me fantasize about other upper-class locales in need of drug-laced pastries! Can we get some pot crumpets served with tea at Downton Abbey? Or would that make Maggie Smith too awesome? [AP]
