The THC is in the House!

THC: Tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive substance found in the cannabis plant, aka pot, aka weed, aka marijuana, aka wacky-tobacky.
As you all are enjoying your Thanksgiving breaks either in Tallahassee or far from it, I'd like you all to start preparing yourselves for what awaits you back at the SLC when you return. Namely The Wackness and Pineapple Express. Both of these movies contain lots of a little drug that contains THC. Now besides the probability that the SLC will sell a lot more concessions than usual, we can use these two movies as a barometer for the current acceptance level for marijuana use in the U.S. Drugs have always appeared in movies, but mostly they show the destructive properties of drugs. With regards to marijuana specifically most movies portray people who smoke pot as a "stoner" who provides stupid comic relief. Of course there have been a few exceptions like Reefer Madness which is a parody of the 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda film. But now movies like The Wackness and Pineapple Express are viewing pot use as a normal everyday thing that many different types of people use recreationally.
So after you're sick of your parents nagging you and you're back at FSU, we'd like to encourage you to sit back, relax, laugh, and most importantly buy lots of concessions with the Student Life Cinema as we bring you two movies filled to the brim with plenty of THC.

For a few hours I have been reading and looking for The THC is in the House and is amazing and disturbing how many blogs related to generic viagra are in the web. But anyways, thanks for sharing your inputs, they are really helpful.
Have a nice day
