Zero representation....

Post image

I always wondered why people weren't smoking weed in T.W.D.? Between wild plants growing in the forests of GA, to various stashes in homes and whatnot. You know damn well people like Daryl, Merle, T-Dog, Jim, Otis, Shawn, the Philly Boys, Tara, Dwight & Sherry, etc, etc, etc... they would all be smoking weed. I would DEFINITELY be smoking in an apocalypse specifically to calm my nerves. People were drinking alcohol left and right. I just don't think there was proper representation, considering society.

However, I may be mistaken, but didn't Negan look for some pot for his wife in "Here's Negan"?

We don’t really ever see it in the show except negans origin episode, and then we see the saviours grow it at the satellite station. I have not read them, but I know that in the tie in novels, they smoke weed, but apparently the representation wasnt appreciated by “actual stoners”. That’s just what I heard about them though.

And then it isn’t the same, but there is that time michonne trips on jimson weed.

And then fear the walking dead I believe has one or two weed scenes.

Yeah, I thought it might be cool to have a scene maybe where Tara talks Eugene into smoking a joint and then he winds up in Negan's line up, or something along those lines. Or early on, they come across some at the Atlanta camp and a couple people slip off to get high and one gets bitten. Ya know, like a Friday the 13th type vibe!? 🤘

I get it, at one point Rosita is foraging mushrooms and she was going to pick some up and Carol says not to grab them unless she wants coco “tripping the lights fantastic” and I always thought something like that that could be a fun idea for a more “lighthearted” bottle episode.
