i had to drive - mommy was tired!

Episode 4 (season 3) from Mad Men featured grandpa teaching his granddaughter how to drive on a quiet neighbourhood street, as probably many people were doing in the 60s. Today, if a child is driving her stoned mom home, it’s news. Should it be? Really?

mommy stoned Our society has changed a great deal since the 60s. We live in one big safety bubble, with the president and vice-president no longer interested in upholding the US Constitution, but rather concerned with the nation’s safety at all costs. Was it that long ago that Benjamin Franklin said his famous words, warning against trading off freedom for security, as we’ll end up with neither?!?

Well, anyhow, two moms were busted for being so stoned / drunk that their kids did a better job driving. The first, had her 6-year-old drive the car because, as the kid said, mommy was too tired to drive after smoking that smelly stuff:

In the second news, mom was too drunk, ending up driving her child to the wrong school:

Said the admission officer at Harvard: “to get into our school, you have to smoke crack and your father must be head of the CIA. Then, you have to sleep in crypt. Wait, scratch that last one; it’s true only if you plan to run for president.”

As you can tell, the main thing the two mommies have in common, apart from kids, is a certain aristocratic flair – even the MILF descriptor would seem like an insult.

Here’s the sneak preview of S03E04 of Mad Men, where a grandfather is teaching his young granddaughter to drive on a residential street:

This is not the first time that show is playing with the safety and youth obsessions that have come to define our age. It wasn’t long ago that safety was not paramount and kids enjoyed a less greenhouse-bound existence, better preparing them for real life. Today, this can be seen only in developing countries..

ye dopes!

Stratford is known as the location of the Shakespeare Theatre Festival. It is now also the place where people get sick after stealing a marijuana cousin.

hemp vs marijuanaThe latest hoopla that wakes people up at night in Stratford is not Shakespeare, but rather the illness resulting from confusing hemp with marijuana:

Stratford Police have issued a public alert after reports of people – “adults and youth” – helping themselves to a crop of commercial hemp that looks like marijuana but instead of delivering a high can make users “violently ill” with severe headaches, nausea and vomiting.

The crop, located just south of the Festival Marketplace Mall off C.H Meier Blvd., has become the target of thieves, police say.

“People, both adults and youth, have been going onto the property and stealing the crop, thinking it is marijuana,” said Insp. Sam Theocharis.”

“Our biggest concern is from a public-safety standpoint. Hemp is not meant for ingestion and the user will become violently ill and may very well require hospital care.”

field of hemp Hemp has many industrial uses (health supplements, fibre, paper, textiles and even building materials), while marijuana is only “recreational”. The active ingredient in marijuana, THC (tetrahydrocannabino) is also present in hemp, but with a much lower concentration. Historically, one had to consume a very large quantity of hemp in order to get the high obtainable from only a few grams of marijuana, and would never get there, because of getting sick long before getting high. Furthermore, lately, because of hi-tech weed cultivation, the concentration of THC in grass has steadily increased over the years. As such, there’s no way you can get high with hemp. Just stick to your pusher, maaaaaan.SkullMoney EyesWhistlingFeeling beat upNot worthy
