Weeds

The show Weeds is awesome and I think it is good for America. I know it is NOT the perfect representation of Cannabis culture, but it does give a shine a good ray of light on the Cannabis community towards "Lower" and "Middle" class Americans that wish to believe that they are "Middle" and "Upper" class Americans, via the use of "Intentional Debt" such as a 30 year mortgage, and cars owned by the bank. These people are who make up most of America and they are also the one's who would be watching HBO, or ShoTime or whatever it was on originally (But now it's on Netflix). When they watch this show they see people that they recognize, smoking weed.

And THAT is how Cannabis Culture can effect politics. When people watch TV and see people they can identify with smoking weed.
In the 60's, Abbie Hoffman was on the news all the time. He knew that when kids and (some) people at home saw REGULAR people in the streets, getting attacked by police in riot gear, the people at home wouldn't identify with the armed men. They would identify with the unarmed citizens being attacked, which was a HUGE part of why the REVOLUTION (that's what it was) was as successful as it was (though it did fade out after Woodstock and the invention of the CIA).

But anyways. I saw Weeds a while back, but I missed seasons 1 and 2. And now there is season 7 so I haven't seen that yet. But I have now seen season 1 and 2, just finished season 3 about to watch 4 (I'm watching all the ones I saw again, since it's been like 2 years and I only saw them all once).

 

I think 1 and 2 were the only seasons I watched (and maybe some of 3 as well). I'm not sure why I stopped watching, but after reading this and reminding me of it, I think I'll continue where I left off.

It's a good show, you really should. :D
