Fox host: 'A lot of pot smokers are coming' to DNC David Edwards and Stephen C. Webster

Print This Email This In a Wednesday warning to Democrats attending this year's Democratic National Convention, the hosts of Fox & Friends cautioned that while Denver has legalized posession of small amounts of marijuana for adults -- and passed an ordinance making it the lowest law enforcement priority -- state drug laws will be enforced during the convention.



Or, in the words of Fox host Dave Briggs, "The implication here is that a lot of pot smokers are coming to town."



"To all of the Democrats who are going ..." began Fox host Steve Doocy. "And, this is also news to all the Republicans going to their convention in St. Paul. Don't take your pot. Don't take your pot to the DNC."



"That's something ... You might want to forward that to Peter Doocy," quipped Briggs. "Only kidding."



"Apparently in Denver, they have made it a low priority to make arrests for people who are smoking pot, caught with pot, whatever," said Gretchen Carlson. "So, what's the concern now? They think that because all the security is coming to the city, there's gonna be more arrests for people who are smoking pot?"



At which point, Briggs asserted that the news implied "a lot of pot smokers are coming to town."



"But," said Doocy, "the Denver police want you to know that if you bring your Mary Jane, you could end up in the hooscow."
