We’re proud to defend our STONER culture against yet another unauthentic POSER cashing in on it; this time around it’s some shamelessly weed-ignorant actress named, Mary-Louise Parker, the NON-POT SMOKING star of Showtime’s laughable portrayal of the “dangerous world of drug dealing” called Weeds. Showtime’s Weeds is STUFF STONERS DON’T LIKE and plagues the airwaves with rhetoric, misunderstanding, and judgment during the time of our nation’s greatest fight to end the ignorance and all-out Reefer Madness surrounding marijuana and the current WAR on DRUGS.
Give us a fucking break already, Hollywood…if you’re going to poach ideas from our culture why not actually employ an actress who is educated about weed or at least smokes the shit? Using some poser chick who thinks nowadays marijuana “doesn’t seem quite as contraband,” is maddening. Listen Parker-POSER, explain to us why there were 78,172 “criminals” arrested in the State of California for a substance that you consider not “quite as contraband” as it once was. Hello…In 2008 there were 78,514 weed busts, Mary Poser…and that’s the most busts since weed met decriminalization in California all the way back in 1976. So, uh…yeah.
“It’s like Sudafed,” said the ignorant Parker to the Boston Herald. Actually Paker, marijuana isn’t anything at all like Sudafed. It’s 100% safe and completely all natural where as Sudafed is a fucking chemical created by a fucking pharmaceutical company. And, before the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 people used to be able to convert the shit into crank! Get your facts straight, man. You’re in a position of influence, man. Because your pretty little face is blasted across the airwaves every week, people think you’re an authority on marijuana and shit. We know you’re not…but they don’t…so we take it as our responsibility to tell the world that the chick considered the matriarchal weed princess on TV DOESN’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MARIJUANA! She’s as fake as Hollywood. Take some fucking responsibility and either start smoking weed or at least read a fucking book about the history of marijuana or something for chrissakes!
Dangerous world of drug dealing? We thought Weeds was about WEED not DRUGS! How fucking misleading! Get your language right, dudes! Marijuana is an herb…Sudafed is a fucking drug, the world of Sudafed-derived meth is fucking DANGEROUS! We’ve been fighting marijuana prohibition and the type of Reefer Madness mentality this show perpetuates since the fucking 30′s, man, and a lame TV show like this does nothing but DESTROY our efforts all the while riding the wave of marijuana’s popularity.
Anyhow, man…YOU SUCK WEEDS and Mary Parker! You both suck for perpetuating harmful stereotypes that damage all the hard work we’ve all done to spread the truth about marijuana and our efforts to get the best herb on Earth into the hands of those who need or want it. Thanks a lot Mary-Louise Suzie Creamcheese for completely dismissing and miscatergorizing marijuana’s usefulness in your highly-valuable position of influence. Your ignorant admission just confirms there ain’t NOTHIN’ AUTHENTIC, worthwhile, or HONEST about Showtime’s WEEDS.
What do you think? Is Showtime’s WEEDS stuff stoners like or does it do harm to the marijuana community. Give us your thoughts in the comment section below.

Agreed. However, I liked watching the show to see how they portray some of the stuff.
The one thing that I didn't like was how they portray the main character to somehow go from small time growing/dealing to being connected directly w/ the head of a Mexican cartel within 1 season.
You have a lot of good points though, opened my eyes about some stuff.
Dude, I think you are freaking out a little hard. I love Weeds and weed. Yes, she is an actress posing as a dealer. (So no secret she is a "poser." Did we really think she was into selling or even into smoking)? On the show, her character, Nancy, does NOT smoke and she is pretty clear on that. Conversely, her friends do partake of the herb, but she doesn't. Yes, legally people get burned all the time for possession, but socially I think it is becoming a bit more acceptable or at least not as big of a deal as it once was. Most shows like Weeds or that center around smoking weed are a bit unrealistic. The show requires a pretty liberal audience and I think if you are into smoking a bit o cannabis, you know how very far fetched that program is. In sum, I think she was referring to the more contemporary view of smoking marijuana, not the legal ramifications of marijuana possession. And yes, it is still illegal, but come on, even legally, things have a changed somewhat. It isn't legal, it should be, but change is slow and I think it is coming. In Dallas, for instance, they quit arresting people for small amounts of weed. It's just a ticket now. Sucks to get a ticket, but I'd rather get a ticket than go to jail. We need people to be out there in the mainstream saying "it's not a big deal, it's like Sudafed." That's the stuff that seeps into the closed minds of individuals and gets them to think a little bit about it. Sure, a true pot head knows better. They know the legal bullshit and risks, but to the average citizen, well, I'm guessing the thought process goes something like this: Mary Louise Parker is a reputable actress and she says it's no big deal...so maybe it isn't... Hmm...maybe it should be legal...
Last thought, it is a comedy...not a documentary. It was meant to be a "laughable portrayal of drug dealing." Did we really think Mary was a pot head? Nancy sure isn't. She deals, doesn't smoke. I sure didn't think Mary Louise Parker was a dealer in real life. So, poser yes. She does act for a living. No surprise there. I'm gonna keep watching...
I have to agree with Amy on this one! I love the show and have turned on so many people to it and most of those smoke. They love the show too and have no complaints. I understand your frustration about things like that. Believe me, I am the first and loudest to stand up for our cause but to me, this is not something to get upset over. Save your energy and let's fight the bigger fight. Smoke on all!!
It's Hollywood man, get over it. An actors/actresses job is to pretend to be someone they are not. Do you think that Al Pacino is stupid to because he really isn't a drug kingpin from Cuba? Mary Louise Parker is not the best actress in the world, but to bash her because she does't feel like getting stoned is kind of ridiculous. Watch the show, you will notice that it is not as big of a shot on Mary Jane than other drugs. Weeds is a smart and funny show and I'm proud to say I get stoned and laugh my ass off when I watch it.
Its not supposed to be serious, its a comedy and a damn good show, and Mary Louise Parker is a hot ass MILF :)
Either lighten up or go light up dude!!! you sound ridiculous and stupid and I would say YOU are giving stoners a BAD name with your intolerant attitude towards a SITCOM....and for all any of us know she could be just saying she doesnt smoke because people are still afraid to come out and admit it freely
Who the fuck wants to watch that piece of shit show except a bunch of kids? Typical mainstream gack for the masses to stuff down their throats. The is no stoner community, any prick on the planet can smoke it and doing so does not separate you in any way from everybody else. Down with elitism and down with kids tv lol.
The show is great, and ur bugging out for no reason. And you're clearly no stoner if you're freaking out this bad over a t.v show. I've never gotten stoned and then flipped out about show where a hot mom sold bud. Seriously, apologize for all this bullshit u just spoke, we all deserve to hear it.
Remember that scene in Dazed and Confused where Matthew McConaughey is in the cool and says "Say, man, you got a joint?" and that scrawny guy goes "No, not on me, man. and then McConaughey says "It'd be a lot cooler if you diid."
That totally illustrates the point here. It would be a lot cooler if Mary-Louise Parker did smoke weed and could talk knowledgeably about the subject. After all, she is in a position of influence and her quotes will be taken out of context and used against her like they are here. If she knew her shit...this couldn't happen. 'nuff said.
