A ban on "outsiders" (non-Stokies) buying marijuana came into effect in parts of Stoke today, with a protest planned in Longton.
Cannabis is technically illegal in Stoke, but it is sold openly in small amounts all over the city under the city council's famed tolerance policy.
The city council has said that, as of today, only people with a Stoke accent, or a tattoo of one the badges of local football teams Stoke City or Port Vale, will be allowed to purchase the drug, and non-Stokies are not eligible.
The policy does not take effect in Longton until next year, and may never do so. Locals oppose the idea and drug dealers there will disobey the policy. Stoners plan a protest there later today, if they can be bothered to get up on time.
