"WEEDS" the soap opera, new Network9 TV show

[Jess Stone]

Any one seen the ads on Ch9 for WEEDS starting Tues 5th Dec ? Theres nothing on 9MSN about it however I've seen quite a few ads so far( during Letterman Monday morning 3:00am 27-11-06) ,theres a bit on the net WEEDS TV Show ,from memory the show does not portray cannabis in a negative way,its just by-the-way dope sales as they go about there lives.A single mum I believe this could be interesting in view of the current "Reefer Madness" hysteria in OZ at the moment. As you can imagine its cable only in the US however so is the Sopranos&the Simpsons and we get those uncensored, the US audiences would never get this sort of stuff free-to-air ,remember the Janet Jacko BS ? SBS would give the average Yank a heart attack ( well bu$h's support base anyway) Edited November 26, 2006 by Jess Stone

Yeah, It's not bad at all i just finished watching season 2, hoping for a 3rd season but not too sure if there will be. you guys would love their grow room, it's been set up by the advanced nutrient team.

Wow I'm a bit shocked theyre gonna air it here Jess?

No it sort of takes away the stigma of cannabis, desenstizes the audience to it; then shows the violent side of greed and organized crime - DEA included.

 

Bloody excellant show tho! Must have watched the season 2 finale about 50 times

 

I heard there is a third season in production to Moking

I think the finale of Season 2 (in fact, MOST of Season 2) reinforces perceptions of criminality and cannabis in a distinctly USA way (ie. lot'sa guns). It's a shame but I suppose that is the reality of cannabis prohibition (meaning growers are ultimately targets for cops or crooks or both..)

 

Having said that conflict IS a neccessary part of drama and it's nice to see a TV show that isn't about police/doctors/lawyers..

i was wondering when it would get here

 

good show but your better off downloading it, you can see season 2 as well that way

[Jess Stone]

The latest ads have a bowl close-up being baked and it says growing season starts 5th Dec,its a big deal that its on FTA TV ,its going to out/enrage the Anti-Cannabis-Nazis !

its going to out/enrage the Anti-Cannabis-Nazis !

Only if they watch it and a bit more public debating on the subject won't do any harm.

Excellent show! The season 2 finally was good stuff.

 

I'd also like to bang her. She's definitely a MILF as Snoop said

[Jess Stone]

WEEDS is certainly better than the Other Crap on ten ! I'm not a huge fan of soapies but this was OK,Nancy is definitely bonkworthy . Whats up with Nine they show WEEDS then later on Penn&Tellers BS is about the BS war on drugs . Is Nine trying to tell the public something? If so management should have words with ACA the reefer madness idiots. I had the P&T BS :The war on drugs embedded on DTS but GoogleVid or Utube whoever had it was made to take it off,which was a pity as even though P&T are HUGE wankers its a pretty good critique of the phony BS war on drugs.
