It's Not Easy Being Stoned

So marijuana. Let's be blunt (giggle). It seems to be on the cusp of being made legal so I thought I better do some research. I realize I may be seriously behind the curve but then when did I ever need to know anything about weed? Never, that's when. (Shut up. I didn't inhale. Don't you have to be at church or something?)

Now, however, I have teens and they're going to make this stuff legal, so fine. I'll do my due diligence, right? I won't be caught uninformed when this stuff hits Walgreen's! No sir!

Did you know there are three separate species? Sativa and Indica are the ones everyone smokes. Ruderalis is just plain normal hemp. You can make baskets out of it. To store your weed. In far out rooms lit by black lights and covered in Grateful Dead posters. Who knew?

After that there are dozens and dozens of different strains and hybrids that have different effects on different people and make no sense in terms of names. There is no real standard. It's worse than wine. There are more names and effects for different strains of weed than there are laws banning them. You have things like Hindu Kush, Blue Dream, Gas, Jack Herer, AK47.....you name it some stoner dreamed up a name for it while smoking it. There is even Girl Scout Cookies! Girl Scout Cookies I tell you! Can you imagine the scenario that played out in naming that strain?

Look apparently you need to be a master toker just to appreciate your first toke. You start looking into it and you quickly realize weed is its own huge buzzkill. I mean you want some weed and they ask you, what kind? Weed man! I want weed! Just give me weed! How hard can it be?

You have to shake your head and wonder when you need weed just to calm down and figure out weed. That's not right. No wonder stoners are always so confused.

Don't do drugs. Stay in school.
