This week, the Seattle Weekly uses the occasion of Hempfest to produce a very special “drug issue” (don’t worry, they still get in their quota of monorail hate),which appears mostly to be an excuse to run a mean open letter to and and unflattering cover photo of Courtney Love [sw]. Really, when can we get over it and stop picking on her? Does she even live here anymore?
I know, I know, the Stranger ran a Courtney Love “rememberance” pullout section last year [stranger], but at lest they gave the topic a little perspective. Maybe it’s a rite of passage for local alt-weeklies?

Other highlights include a goofy, poorly researched rant on the unspecific dangers of caffeine. I guess slow news is good news.
