City Council members and their pot smoking ways

city-council-1933.jpg
Frank Stoltze of KPCC had some fun asking each member of the Los Angeles City Council — before today's final vote on the medical marijuana ordinance — if they had ever smoked pot. Some hemmed, some hawed, some answered honestly and a couple offered stories to go with their confessions. Audio | Text

The scorecard:

Yes, of course: Koretz, Rosendahl, Garcetti

Yes, with a story: LaBonge, Alarcon

Um uh, nope not us: Perry, Hahn, Parks, Zine, Smith

I'll never tell (twinkle in eye): Wesson

Wouldn't even answer: Huizar, Cardenas.

Couldn't be reached: Reyes, Krekorian
