Stoned In Suburbia (UK)

[Nature Boy]

Did anyone see the rerun of cannabis documentary "Stoned In Suburbia" tonight on Sky Three?

As new potcom Weeds shows us: even the straights get high these days. There are an estimated 3.5 million cannabis users in Britain. That really is quite a stunning figure — it seems like there are a lot more. There isn’t a large social gathering you can attend or even a high street — no pun intended, man — you can walk down without catching a waft of marijuana. People either don’t really believe it’s still illegal or are simply too stoned to care. From school kids and working mums to crusty old dealers, this programme asks users if they can remember why they smoke dope.

The show featured the likes of infamous pot granny Patricia Tabram and Britain's best-known stoner Howard Marks and covered subjects such as medical use of cannabis, how the UK cannabis trade is growing annually, smoking paraphernalia and the bad quality of street soapbar. Enjoyable show. Keep an eye out for more repeats in coming days.
