In honor of 4/20 I thought I would re-post this classic pre-database disaster piece.

I got a late start in to the office this morning… So instead of riding in with the early risers, who generally tend to be the brief case crowd, I ended up catching a later train which I shared with mostly students and slackers. Right away I sensed the atmosphere was much more, shall we say… Relaxed.

At the first stop two students got on looking as if they walked straight out of the pages of an Abercrombie or Hollister catalog, they were young, they were hip… They were baked!

So as I watched the two twenty somethings in front of me debate over which word sounded funnier mesothelioma or Mesopotamia while sucking down Mountain Dew and inhaling a giant bag of FunYuns, it occurred to me…

I’ll bet quite a few products are wholly dependent on the sale and consumption of marijuana! I mean honestly would anyone who wasn’t stoned drink Mountain Dew, or eat FunYuns? What the fuck are FunYuns for that matter???

But I digress… Imagine if you will, a world without weed… Without waste-oids, stoners and pot heads. I know… I know… Scary thought isn’t it? Especially if you work for one of the manufacturers or suppliers of any of the fine products listed below…

I present to you the top eleven things that wouldn’t exist in a world without weed… And yes… It is a list of eleven. Any burnout with a blog can give you a list of ten… It takes a real genius to bring you eleven…

1. Cool Ranch Doritos
2. The comedy stylings (or lack thereof) of Demetri Martin
3. Tie Dyed anything
4. White Castle
5. Phish and or Cypress Hill
6. The word duuuuude
7. Lava Lamps
8. Black Lights
9. The Cartoon Network
10. FunYuns
11. Mountain Dew

Remember… Legalize it - don’t criticize it!

I’m just sayin’…
