Chugging Beers Live in New York City

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 – running time 48:01

More episodes:

Diggnation returns to NYC for the 3rd time! We discuss the first ever US marijuana cafe, hot girl's dance fail, the anticipated launch of Google Chrome, crazy wife's online husband traps, Japan regulates on chub, and of course so many live Diggnation shenanigans!

First Weed Cafe in US Opens in Portland

It's not drugs, it's a f'ing plant! So the way it works is you pay a $25 monthly membership fee gets you your own bud waiter and all the Mary Jane your little heart desires! Remember though, this is for medical purposes only. Kevin's toke on this? Alcohol has killed way more people than marijuana ever would kill.
