Ok, so i know that this is really weird, but i have just discovered my new favorite TV show, its WEEDS.  You know its that show about the suburban mom who loses her husband, so to support her family she becomes a drug dealer!  I know it sounds crazy, but every episode is so clever, and although the show revolves around pot, there is so much more to the story line! Every time i watch the show i am totally immersed in this life that i will never know, but i love it, when an episode ends a literal tear is brought to my eyes.  I could say so many things to try to persuade you to watch the show, or try to explain it, but it really is to great.  Its one of those “well rounded” shows, in the sense that it has drama, comedy, romance, and the list goes on! I am pretty sure if this was my life, and my mom was a drug dealer i wouldn’t find the concept so compelling, but I really don’t think i have to worry about that (haha).  I don’t know its not that i am trying to say smoking pot is okay, but i think i would rather have my kids smoke a joint, than go out drinking with their friends.  CRAZY, i know, but just hear me out… teens that smoke the occasional bowl, or joint are not compelled to go out driving, and harm not only themselves, but others.  Alcohol on the other hand is not a controlled substance by any means, kids are compelled to drive, jump off bridges, or play football on roof tops.  When getting high I’m pretty sure the only thing you will be destroying is your parents pantry (munchies)! I find it funny all the things that we watch on TV, things that we do not understand, or things that we do not agree with, but we continue to go back week after week.  I have come to the conclusion that TV is our alter ego, we watch shows and movies of things that we secretly wish we could be apart of… even just once.
