Pot Smokers Are Potential Customers, Not Criminals

Atleast according to two game developers.....

Quote:
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (Wireless Flash) -- Two NASA engineers-turned-game designers are game to end the drug war as soon as possible -- and they're putting their money with their marijuana.

Andrew Looney and his wife, Kristin, are the creators of a card game called Fluxx, which is especially popular with families.

There's also another demographic: Stoners. Andrew says his company, LooneyLabs, gets hundreds of letters from potheads telling him "the game works great stoned."

Andrew says the stoners taught him an important business lesson: "Pot smokers are customers, not criminals." So he created a version of the game specifically designed for fans of "wacky tobacky."

Partial proceeds of that version will be donated to organizations trying to reform drug policy, but the Looneys also hope their efforts inspire other business owners to start catering to pot smokers.

thekingofpain is on a distinguished road
So he created a version of the game specifically designed for fans of "wacky tobacky."

Me---being a medical marijuana recipient find the quote:
"the game works great stoned."
alittle difficult to understand, seems as if the "Looneys" should maybe have stuck to NASA---they seem to know alittle about marijuana and its actual effects but are just trying to exploit this avenue to fatten their wallets---

The actual game in question is called "Stoner Fluxx" and is a cardgame based on the original creaters game called "Fluxx"
The STONER version is clearly labeled for adults, here is a link: http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs...x/Default.html with previews of some of the cards etc---

Id avoid it---too bad Rob didnt...
