DENTAL MARIJUANA FACES UPHILL FIGHT
Obstacles Abound for Weed as Novocaine Replacement

A group of California activists hoping to legalize marijuana for dental
purposes only may be facing an uphill struggle in their legislative
battle, a spokesperson for the group said today.

"Most other nations in the industrialized world have already discovered
what the California legislature seems unwilling to admit: that one hit
from a bong can do more to ease dental pain than an entire shot of
novocaine," said spokesperson Davis Wilton.

"It wouldn't hurt to have a few black light posters in the dentist's
office, either," Mr. Wilton added. "After a few hits of dental marijuana,
dental black light posters can be very soothing."

The activists, who have been pushing for the legalization of so-called
dental marijuana since the early 1990's, say they are hoping that a newly
released study touting the benefits of dental weed, especially before
tooth cleaning or root canal procedures, will help them in their
legislative fight.

But according to Dr. Conor Glausen of the University of Minnesota School
of Dentistry, the study is not without its flaws: "If you read the fine
print, you'll see that the 'expert' who authored the study was actually
smoking dental marijuana while writing it."

Dr. Glausen said he was also concerned by the source of funds used to make
the study possible: "I'm suspicious of any pro-marijuana study that is
underwritten by Frito-Lay."

Elsewhere, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would step
down as executive editor of the magazines "Muscle and Fitness" and "Flex,"
but that he would retain his editorial position at "Nazi Groper."
