Episode 73: Judge Druggs

Happy April 20th, everyone. A holiday celebrating the delightful intoxicant known as cannabis. Apparently in 2025, we're going to get a very funny occurrence, which is that Easter will be on 4/20. So there's your notice everyone, you have two whole years to come up with bits to do. Hopefully our country hasn't plunged into a holy civil war where Jesus jokes are punishable by death. Recent trends on that front have not been encouraging. April 19th would also be a pretty solid day for Easter, because then you can properly enjoy that leftover ham/mac & cheese sandwich the next day. That won't happen until 2070, when if I'm still alive I'll be in my late 70s- real borderline territory. Maybe taking a gummy then eating the leftovers sandwich will be my final act. What a way to go out! Or, maybe I'll just get Alzheimer's and wither to death, either way. But that's not funny. Hopefully this episode is, it was kind of hard to tell because I don't remember swaths of it. As you may have already guessed, this is a special 4/20 theme episode. We open things up by fulfilling a promise we made to you all a long time ago: we watched and reviewed the surreal 1990 anti-drug PSA animated special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. To clarify further, Cody and Alex watched it, and try very hard to make it make any sense whatsoever to an uninitiated JackJohn. Following that, it's 3 marijuana-related stories of Guys, featuring a cranky anti-weed town mayor with an ironic name, a teenager whose silly high school prank led to a very frustrating Supreme Court decision, and a pioneer in the field of medical marijuana with some interesting methods of study.
