Chow / Drugs Sorry About All That Pot, Eastlake

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 10:13 AM

Pazzos at inner right.
  • Seattle Municipal Archives
  • Pazzo's at inner right.

Eastlake Ave. has the letter that Pazzo's owner David Mendoza has written to the neighborhood saying sorry for importing over a ton of marijuana into our great nation this past summer.

"I am truly sorry for my actions, the results of those decisions, and the breach of trust, in which you as a neighborhood had given me. No matter where you sit on the morality, or legality of marijuana, I still broke the laws of the United States, and more importantly, the integrity of my community, and the trust of my family. For this, I sincerely hope that you, as my community, will accept my deepest apologies."

Mendoza writes that he has received close to a hundred letters of support (and a few of "condonment") from Eastlake residents.

The whole letter is here.

As a former resident of Eastlake, I accept your apology, Mr. Mendoza. Your Pazzo's makes a damn good pie, and I'm sorry you're stuck at the SeaTac Federal Detention Center awaiting what will likely be a long federal prison term. I'd like to apologize to you, if I may, on behalf of the good ol' U.S. of A. for its stupid, stupid drug laws.

Thanks, HL.

Eastlake is where? I assume the area east of a lake, but which lake? Washington, Union, Tapps, Green, others...?

There are also negative drug screen reports for him posted up on every telephone pole on Eastlake all the way to Fairview.

Meanwhile, California has legislation to totally decriminalize non-medical marijuana in their state ...

providing 2000 lbs. of weed to the populace should be considered a public service not a crime.

The pot is all to sell pizza. Only stoners with the munchies would eat their mediocre pizza.
