It's Just A Plant...

You can learn a lot from sports radio. I have found that my life has been greatly enriched by listening to Colin Cowherd. He is hilarious, spectacular, nutritious, witty, random, intelligent, sporadic, incalculable, spacious, just keep adding positive adjectives. Even if you don't think they would apply to a human, they do to him.

Let me share some tidbits that I have learned through listening to his podcasts:

This was on April 24, about 6 minutes into the podcast (in case you want to start listening with me).

Weber High School has been infested by drug dealers. It took an undercover cop infiltrating the school to break the drug ring. Pretty big news coming out of my former high school. Good ol' Weber, Grand ol' Weber...

Here's a link to the story: http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_9027289

Also, for all you pot smoking parents out there that are worried about what you are going to tell your little ones when they start asking about your drug habits, fear no more! There is a book all about teaching your children about your little Mary Jane addiction.

Here are some quotes directly from the website. The book is called It's Just a Plant:

"It's Just a Plant is a book for parents who want to educate their children about the complexities of pot in a thoughtful, fact-oriented manner."
It is important because many drug facts are "blaming pot for everything form teenage pregnancy to terrorism."
"It's Just a Plant encourages parents to explore the topic and their children's questions about it, all the while reminding them that trying "pot" is an experience for responsible adults."
Straight from their section of reviews: Entertainment Weekly calls this book "An outrage". Wow! Something to be proud of.

You can actually read the first part of the book, and I would recommend that you do. Holy cow! Hilariously sad I have to say.

I hope this post has given you all something to think about.

To the skies we'll sing your praise - wait, what? I knew there was problems when I was there - but it is still sad to hear. Glad they are doing something about it. Did you read some of the comments from the article? How do stupid people like them, and the people who wrote that book, not run into walls all day long?

Holy cow. You know I like that WHS makes into the paper for random things like this. :) I wonder if it's the leftover kids from that MASSIVE pot farm in the valley. Hmmmmm. Sweet lil North Ogden.

I'm going out RIGHT NOW to buy that book for Jaylee. Raise 'em right, right? Right?

All I can say is, marijuana is an herb, rather than smoking it, maybe people should just cut leaves off to garnish their favorite pasta dish. Seriously, a few weeks ago at University of Oregon the school paper ran a front page headline about smoking pot. Sadly the article didn't try to keep people from smoking pot, but rather explained that smoking weed can be relaxing and fun, but should be done "responsibly". Eugene, OR is not the epicenter of rational thinking they make themselves out to be.

Sheesh! What is going on??? Do you remember the reason Weber received national news coverage while we were going there? This just might top that. (Hello by the way! Katie, thanks for your sweet comment to me, and right back at ya!)
