This week I was listening to the Herd, IMHO the best sports radio show out there, and heard about the book, It's Just a Plant. Colin talks about a lot of stuff other than just sports, so I wasn't too surprised he brought this up. Hearing about this, though, I didn't know whether to laugh or shake my head (I did both). This, from an editorial review on Amazon:
"Jackie wakes up late at night and finds her parents smoking pot. They give a simple explanation and promise to talk to her about it the next day, which happens to be Halloween."
The goal of this book, apparently, is to acclimate one's children to the proper use of marijuana. It is, after all, just a plant.
"And those who were standing watched, and walked carefully near him, not knowing what he'd do--they'd all seen wonders, but nothing like this. And some said he was witchcraft, a phantom, and were afraid to answer him . . ."--Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
