Concerning LOTR and Weed

[Matt the Funk]

Good combo, also weed+ Star Wars is a nice one.

i am a big fan of both weed and lord of the rings and from reading the books i dont think he meant marijuana, and i dont think tolkien was high to write it. it is possible to have an imagination without weed...

[couch-potato]

YES!!! LOTR and some kind bud are a perfect combination!

[psteve]

I read the books stoned when I was like 12 or 13.

[It's that Haze]

says that Tolkien rejected the claim that pipeweed was 'marijuana.'

Those movies arnt really my thing, but my mate put on on and at the beggining it said something about people harvesting piping weed or something like that. That made me laugh.

[BUZz UK]

yeah mate, someone bought me the extended edition dvds, and i used to get blazed and watch them for fucking hours. they do go well together, i must say...

[Nochowderforyou]

I found that entire story a little stale and boring. Wow, a magic ring that goes on for like 8 hours. Zzzzzz...

But I do enjoy the very last one, Return of the King. When it's about 30 minutes in, then those battles go on for a good hour or so, then the last half hour I don't care about.

I don't think it's so much Tolkein referrencing the weed, but Peter Jackson. Tolkien even specified that it was "tabac" in the books, but maybe Jackson was just getting with the times and shifting (indirectly) to weed.:jointsmile:
