Weed

 Ok so because I'm so swamped again this week I'm gonna put off the army post one more week and make this short again.  I guess I'll discuss the rhetoric of weed just because it was what I researched for my part of the project. In particular i'm gonna talk about this movie I saw when I was researching about weed. Actually I didn't find it one of my friends showed it to me. It was really funny. The title of the film was Super High Me, a spoof ( kinda) of the famous documentary Super Size Me.  The subject is a comedian whose act is all about him being high all the time. He doesn't smoke for 30 days then smokes all day every day for another 30 days. In the experiment he tests his medical condition, his test taking abilities, his memory abilities and even his psychic abilities (buuulll shit). Anyway its a good movie and it gives a lot of information on the legalization of marijuana in California. Its a pretty interesting film that I would encourage everyone to see not just because its absolutely hilarious, but because its actually pretty informative.

Anyway there's lots of Rhetoric surrounding weed both good and bad. Personally I'm one of those guys that doesn't see anything wrong with it even though I don't usually partake when my friends indulge. There are people on both sides of the spectrum: those who say smoking is bad and the majority of young people who really don't see it as a bad thing.  Regardless we all have that friend that gets high all the time and thanks to him we all know the terms: weed, Mary Jane, pot; then we have our strains with all their lovely names: super lemon haze, white widow, afghan kush and all that jazz. Then you got your paraphernalia: bowl, bongs, vaporizors, blunts joints and the like. Anytime you hear any of things you know right away what that person is talking about. Weed has it own language of grams headies and joints that is universal in it's underground world. But weed is a universal thing that we all know about. we all have friends who smoke it and most of us have ourselves. So the rhetoric of weed is something that we all have been influenced by. In many cases we don't even see people smoking and yet we know what is going on simply through context clues. So yeah... weed... woo...
