Well, they certainly wouldn't be able to get away with portraying it in a positive light. One of the unmentioned rules of the capitalist media is "Never seriously question longstanding policies of the government". And on the odd chance that you do see a legalization advocate on TV, there will always be some government-propaganda-spewing suit next to him. The capitalist media is all about attracting the widest possible audience to the spectacle, so they cannot make any definite statements about whether any longstanding government policy is just or not, since a large majority probably believes that it is.

Since the longstanding government policy on marijuana and the propaganda it generates to support that policy have convinced most people that it is an "evil" plant, this idea must be presented as potentially valid in the series, to maximize ratings. Sure, they will probably try to put some funny pot jokes in there to appease the potheads watching the show just because it's about weed, but fundamentally they are looking to attract John Q. Everybody, and will form the show in a way so as to not seriously question the majority opinion.
ermitonto Reviewed by ermitonto on . Weeds???? Anyone heard of the new series coming out about pot? I think it's called "Weeds" not sure though. Maybe it's even out already. I just read an article about it in the Times magazine. But it sounds like they are going to make it comedic, but at the same time be showing how bad it is!It's about a soccer mom who starts growing weed to make extra income in the suburbs. It's suppose to show how even though the suburbs look clean, there is an underlying problem. I hope it does not come across this Rating: 5
