Weed Wisdom

on many things, as he discusses in the video below.

That’s the title of a novel by Lee Henshaw that I just ordered thanks to the description by Dom Joly as “Like some stoned new Kerouac, simply brilliant…” and also the YouTube video below posted by some fans of the book. The guys in the video are supposedly re-creating a “Blackcurrant Bath Bong” scene from the book.

First of all, RIP Professor Morgan. He passed away earlier this year (2008). From the NORML.com website:

Dr. John P. Morgan was a physician and professor of pharmacology at the City University of New York Medical School. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of medicine in 1965. Following training in internal medicine (at Syracuse) and clinical pharmacology (at John Hopkins University and the University of Rochester), he began a career in academic pharmacology and medicine at the University of Rochester. He began his position at City College in 1977, where his teaching included the topics of pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and drug policy. His book, Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts (The Lindesmith Center, New York, 1997) reviews the latest scientific and medical research and debunks the common marijuana myths.
Dr. Morgan published approximately 100 articles, book chapters and books, largely focused on the clinical pharmacology of psychoactive drugs. His research and writing involved issues such as urine testing in the American workplace, medical marijuana, the socio-pharmacology of crack-cocaine, alcohol prevalence during national prohibition, and physician prescribing practices.

Dr. Morgan was a member of numerous professional associations, including the American Society of Addiction Medicine, the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and the American Council on Science and Health, and he served on the advisory board of the Drug Policy Alliance.

and here is a video of him speaking about weed.

Got me a couple of marijuana-themed movies (new releases) from Blockbuster this week.

Stone & Ed was kinda stupid. A lot stupid actually. It stars some dudes I’ve never heard of,  as well as the fat guy from Borat. The back of the DVD box says:

 ”It’s just another hazy day for Stone & Ed until the unwittingly stumble into a cat and mouse game between a drug lord and the CIA. Stone & Ed are in the for trip of their lives.”

 The other movie I watched was Smiley Face, and it wasn’t half bad. I mean, it was stupid also, but it starred ultra-hot Anna Faris as a stoner chick. Other stars in the movie are Danny Masterson (That 70’s Show), John Krasinski (The Office) and one of the dudes from Harold & Kumar. This movie was better than Stone & Ed.

Oh and if you dont have an online Blockbuster.com account, you need to CLICK HERE and get one. You can get movies at the corner store, and have them delivered to your home at the same time. True dat.
