Weeds!

Well, you guessed it... the show is all about marijuana, the ganja, the hemp plant, the herb, grass and most common street name, Weed. This is probably the most hyped about plant debated over the senate on legalizing it as a medicinal drug. Now, why can't they do that here?

This show is brilliant! Just when DH (Desperate Housewives) is filling up the void left by Sex and the City, I personally prefer Weeds over DH any day. Both are dark comedies and similar in a way. The shows involve the life of mothers, single or married, going about their everyday lives. Only one involves the controversial drug.

Basically Weeds stars Mary-Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin, a single mother struggling to make ends meet by selling marijuana. It is set in a fictional town called Agrestic based in California. Fortunately for her, she has a whole list of clients in this small community. So, would this ever make it to our shores in Malaysia? I think not!

Now she gets totally creative in one of the episodes after visiting this place called Bodhi Sativa. Call it the legal drug joint selling everything related to the hemp plant. This place was created to help people with marijuana, for medication purposes, or so they say. When I say everything I mean everything! From plants where you can smoke, to edibles, to hash oils and hemp oils. All this is made legal as they operate under the Health and Safety code 11362.5. The only catch is that this place Xerox your driver's license and puts the name of the 'users' in a state control databank.

After visiting this place she finds out that the product that she's been pushing low quality product. She goes back to her supplier and asks for some of the high quality stuff. Now she learns to take her trade to a whole new level. It's one thing being creative but putting marijuana into popcorn balls, and into a ? Now this is what I would call value-added services!

So far, after 5 episodes since the premier I am totally hooked on the series!
