Glitz & Grass at MPP Playboy Party

Friday, 05 June 2009 14:16

The Playboy Mansion rolled out the green carpet, hosting the Marijuana Policy Project's fourth-annual benefit in BelAir on June 4. Tom Ammiano (below) and Todd McCormick received awards, the Dandy Warhols and Kyle Gass performed, Faruiza Balk hosted, and Adrianne Curry, Sen Dog, Lou Dog, Rohan Marley and Hal Sparks were among the celebs who came out to support the cannabis cause.

Balk (right) set the tone early when she called for a change in the pot laws. "Let's legalize marijuana," exclaimed the actress who's appeared in Humboldt County and Almost Famous. Ammiano seconded that motion. The San Francisco Assemblyman has sponsored a bill that would tax and regulate marijuana in California. MPP executive director Rob Kampia called the bill the No. 1 most important thing to happen in policy reform since last year's Playboy bash.

Gass, who played with a trio he dubbed Tenacious Me, joked that "Jack Black couldn't make it tonight because he's making too much money elsewhere." They performed three songs: "Ventura Highway, " "Greatest Song in the World" and "Fuck Her Gently."

The Dandly Warhols' Courtney Taylor-Taylor thanked the "marijuana press, because they do a good job," in particular West Coast Cannabis' Ngaio Belum, who got the band stoned before their half-hour set, which included "Bohemian Like You" and "Heroin Is So Passe." Their latest album The Dandy Warhols Are Sound comes out on July 14.
