The Green Slime* used to be absinthe popular in New Orleans, but by the time my parental units got around to Mardi Gras it had been banned. The Green Dragon has been around for a while Charles, have they made it legal in your neck of the woods yet? Alabama will be the last, but eventually America will catch wise to The Netherlands Model, for the most part only tourists use Loco Weed.

* The Green Slime (oozing, oozing down your leg) became the CB handle of a kid not wrapped too tight upon his hearing my recitation of bizarre song lyrics as late night Beat Poetry on Chicken Band. The lyrics that caused that minor disaster were those of I Am The Slime by Frank Zappa. I changed "oozing out of your TV set" to "oozing out of your CB set". The Mothers did it on Saturday Night Live with a cool effect, shaving cream oozing out of suspended monitors making piles on the floor. Mark Bolan of T. Rex was the king of weird, "You're built like a car you have a hub cap dinosaur halo. You're built like a car, oh yeah." Try to beat THAT, I won't. I don't want a girlfriend I'd make love to her tailpipe and get my nob burnt and covered with soot!

BTW Cheech & Chong started something, and Tommy Chong carried on the tradition starring in the first of The Evil Bong movie series, all of them funny as all ____. On the other end of the stoner movies scale is Star Weed, but the message is clear. NEVER let on where someone's secret grow is after they've been kind enough to lead you to it and let you smoke it (don't take any home) or they'll have to kill you. After all it's still illegal at the federal level (Schedule 1 CDS) because there's more money in prohibition than taxation.
