Cannabis Clips

Cannabis clips are back! The recent drop-off in pot culture days is due to a combination of a little vacation, a little laziness, and writer's block. But, I'm back on the ball, hopefully writing some decent humor for my fair readers. Also new is the poll to the right; be sure to vote!

Let's take a look at a film that is known as the epitome of a cult movie: Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children).

Once a movie made to scare people into fear of marijuana use, Reefer Madness is now a quintessential "stoner flick." My favorite part has to be the man who encourages his lady friend to play the piano faster and faster and faster!

Having seen the whole film, I feel that I am capable of saying that this movie reaches comedy through absurdity. No one in their right mind today would argue that marijuana induces a desire for rape or homicidal tendencies. For those who have an allergic reaction to old time black and white movies, there is also a 2005 musical version that aired on Showtime. If you want to watch the 1936 version, watch it here. If you want to watch the musical version, which I must say is quite funny, you can find it online on places like SurftheChannel.com or you can buy it. Ha ha, yeah, buy it . . . right.

First off, the results of the poll are in. Eleven voted yes, and two each voted for 'medicinal use only' and for no. I will launch the same poll at in about two weeks to see how effective my arguments were. Next, a new poll has been created. One of my friends who is currently a student at UNCC is excited to go see Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D. Yeah, he's eighteen years old; don't judge him. He is so enthusiastic for the new flicks because this will be his first time seeing these childhood classics while he is high. The poll asks whether you have ever seen a movie high and whether you liked the experience. Remember, all polls are anonymous even to me, so do not be afraid to vote. Now on to Cannabis Clips!

I regret that in my earlier posts, I have neglected the front-running reason for marijuana legalization. Of course I am referring to the hybridization of marijuana with Kentucky bluegrass for golf course turf. As, Mr. Carl Spackler states, “you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night.” The following is a video of an interview on Mr. Spackler’s life work.

Congressmen, if you’re out there and reading this, how has this not convinced you yet? Do not let Spackler’s work go to waste. An advancement like this in the field of golf course greenskeeping has not been made since the creation of grass! As the Dalai Lama says, "Gunga galunga … gunga, gunga lagunga!"

Last week was marijuana in music, so I thought I'd switch it up for this week and move into cannanis in film. If you liked the music posts, do not fret! I may write more of those the week after.

And please vote in the anonymous poll on the right ------->

- The Big Lebowski

Kiddos, remember to roll down your windows before flicking your uhh ... cigarette butts. Or be a Little Lebowski Urban Achiever and avoid littering.

Note: If you didn't get that reference, watch the movie and enhance your life.

Pot Culture Friday

Well, I realized that since this blog will run for only four weeks, there would only be four pot culture days. I think you, the reader, could not be able to fully grasp the concept of marijuana in pop culture with only four posts, so I am hereby expanding it to two posts per week!

Rollin' down the street, smokin' indo

sippin' on gin and juice, laid back

(With my mind on my money, and my money on my mind)

-Snoop Dogg, "Gin and Juice," Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg: quite possibly the finest multi-tasker of all time.

My artistic interpretation of Mr. Dogg's daily life

Oh, and this is so VERY illegal. I mean, he's not even trying to hide it!

Pot Culture Wednesday

Pot Culture Wednesday is idea for a weekly post on marijuana in pop culture. Strictly for entertainment/humor value only.

I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess.

-Dr. Dre from N.W.A, "Express Yourself," Straight Outta Compton

Uh, Dr. Dre? Yeah, what was the name of your debut solo album?

Yeah, not the top words, smarty-pants.

Oh, right, The Chronic. And you hang out with this guy:

Never mind.
