PUBLIC CONSUMPTION RULE REASONABLE

I would like to thank the Anchorage Assembly for taking the lead on 
defining public consumption as it relates to the new marijuana laws. 
The reasonable and responsible ordinance passed last night sets an 
example for the rest of the state. Just as with alcohol, no one wants 
to have to put up with people getting intoxicated anywhere they please.

A special thanks to Assemblyman Pat Flynn for insisting on an 
"unnecessary" amendment providing for consumption on the premises of 
a licensed establishment. The honorable Assembly members have a 
difficult task ahead of them, and this ordinance strikes just the 
right balance.
