Per the Onion Radio: Marijuana Legalized
May 21st, 2009 by RickQuite the humorous outlook that The Onion takes on maybe a future scenario for a legalization push from pot activists.
Maybe if all activists wore suits and spoke without slang in their vocabulary then people would stop laughing at the issue itself. Of course doing that will just further influence people into thinking that a suit + education = success, and that would just continue establishing an antiquated stereotype.
Now if they could make a bong out of the Washington Monument, that would be some feat.
Tony’s Law Almost Works
January 21st, 2009 by Alex
With all the recent talk about new laws affecting marijuana use and cultivation, some positive and some negative, I can’t help but think about the classic Onion article – Tony’s Law.
Designed to protect Americans from dry spells, Tony’s Law was named after 19-year-old New Jersey resident Tony DiCenzo, who went nine months without getting high before discovering that he lived in the same apartment building as a reliable marijuana source.
Dry humour at its finest, this story has some killer quotes (even if they are fake) that could just as easily come from the guy down your hallway.
It’s always interesting to go through a feeling out period between you and someone you think might smoke. I’ve been through it with co-workers, friends and significant others – each person is a new box of chocolates – and it’s definitely a touch and go procedure. From straight-laced to laid back, I’ve been right and wrong on all the kinds of people who do and do not smoke pot.
Nothing like Tony’s Law would ever work in real life, but damn it would be cool to have some sort of secret handshake or Batman beacon that alerts other chill folks to your presence. Have you ever had weird experiences learning that someone else smokes, or had someone attempt to pry that information out of you? Let’s hear about it.
