What an odd time we live in regarding cannabis. On the one hand, more people than ever believe it should be legal and more states keep legalizing either medical or recreational marijuana. On the other hand, we have Jeff Sessions who believes cannabis is just slightly less dangerous than heroin. A couple days ago Trump was extolling the virtues of Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines for putting drug dealers to death including having vigilantes running around killing people they think are dealing drugs. Kellyanne Conway then corrected The Donald the next day by claiming he only wanted to kill big drug dealers. That was total BS but we all know Kellyanne’s superpower is lying. Whatever.
There are so many innovative ways cannabis is being infused into things. A few years ago smileycreek and I were visiting Denver when we came across a Vodka Bar in Larimer Square in downtown. That place only served vodka from all over the world. It was amazing. They also created and sold their own vodka infusions. We had a belt or two while talking with the owner who told us they’d infused vodka with cannabis. They weren’t sure if they could sell it to the public since it was legal to buy cannabis in Colorado but you couldn’t smoke it in public. They weren’t sure if that extended to drinking cannabis-infused vodka in public as well. He told us it was a moot point because somehow his employees managed to consume all of it themselves so there wasn’t any left to sell anyway.
Rebel Coast Winery has created Ganga wine. They took all the alcohol out and put some THC in the stuff. They claim it’s the first of it’s kind because it’s alcohol-free “wine.” I believe them. This seems like a great idea for those who want to drink something that has no alcohol but will give you a buzz. The only problem is the entire bottle of wine has only 16 mg of THC. I’d have to drink two full bottles to feel anything. Of course, you’ll have to wait an hour or more to know your level of inebriation before cracking open that second bottle for more. Perhaps they’ll change it so each glass of wine has 15mg of THC. That would make a whole lot more sense.
We watched a silly and stupid show on NetFlix called “Disjointed.” It stars Kathy Bates who plays the owner of a pot dispensary in SoCal. It’s really super silly but good for some laughs. You have to go into it with that attitude. Last year we watched an episode of Chelsey Handler with Kathy Bates as her guest. This was during the year before recreational cannabis was legal in California. Kathy brought some real buds with her as party favors and claimed she hadn’t done cannabis herself (really?). Well, guess what? Since recreational cannabis is now legal in California, Kathy has come clean and admits she gets stoned before she reads the scripts for Disjointed. Here’s an example of just how silly the show is. You have to keep in mind it’s supposed to be over-the-top stupid and silly.
Interestingly there are real companies that do real ads on the show including Lay’s potato chips and Del Taco. These ads are all in fun and play to the point of the show. Del Taco is really good stuff. It makes Taco Bell look like Taco Bell. We had a Del Taco near where I grew up. Smileycreek grew up loving Del Taco. We just got a Del Taco in Chico about a year ago. Oh yeah! Let’s look at a couple real Del Taco ads on the show Disjointed:
How about a second real Del Taco ad on Disjointed?
They also have some actually serious real commercials on Disjointed (believe it or not as stupid-funny as the show is on purpose, they speak about health and cannabis.) Here’s one from the Gridiron Cannabis Coalition:
OK. I couldn’t do this diary without including an ad for the Lincoln Car Company...not.
