日曜夜11:00から東京MX「未公開映画を見る」。
今回は「スーパー・ハイ・ミー」という映画の前編。
このタイトルどっかできいたことありません？
そう、マクドナルドを30日間食べ続けると人間どうなるかっていう
実験映画「スーパー・サイズ・ミー」ですね。
これはその映画のパクリなんですが、内容がもっと過激（未公開映画なんで、、、）。
30日間マリファナを四六時中吸い続けるとどうなるかっていうものなんです。
あるコメディアンが身体検査はもちろん知能検査や超能力検査まで行い
多角的に（？）マリファナが人間に与える影響を調べます。
来週は後編。興味のある方はお見逃しなく！
ちなみにアメリカでは子供向けのマリファナ解説絵本があるんです。
その名も「It's Just A Plant」。
あまりのアホさ加減に笑いが止まらないのでここで紹介。
途中までですが無料で見れたので画像とテキストをアップしますね。
Jackie loved to go to sleep at night.
Before she got tucked in,
her mother would help her walk on her hands... all the way to bed.
One night, Jackie woke up past her bedtime.
She smelled something funny in the air,
so she walked down the hall to her parents’ bedroom.
“What’s that, Mommy?” asked Jackie. “Are you and Daddy smoking a cigarette?”
“No, baby,” said her mother. “This is a joint. It’s made of marijuana.”
“Mar-a-whahh?” asked Jackie, sleepily.
“Marijuana,” smiled her dad, “is a plant.”
“What kind of plant?”
“Well...” said her mom, “how about we go on a bicycle ride tomorrow,
and I will tell you all about it. Okay?”
“Okay,” said Jackie.
The next day Jackie woke up early to get ready for her adventure, when she remembered...
It was Halloween!
After a big breakfast, Jackie and her mother put on costumes.
Then the two of them hopped onto bicycles and began their journey.
Their first trip was to the farm where Jackie’s mother got her vegetables.
“Farmer Bob?” she called out.
“Hi there,” said the farmer, coming out from behind a corn patch.
“Nice costumes!”
“I came to teach my daughter about marijuana,” said Jackie’s mom.
“You’ve come to the right place,” answered Bob.
“I’ve got some growing right now. Let’s go look.”
Farmer Bob walked Jackie and her mom through his garden,
stopping to point out the different plants.
He grew many! There were avocados, with ruddy skins like an alligator.
They also saw a cactus, figs, pumpkins and even mint growing
by a strawberry patch. Mmm!
Finally he reached a pot with a sweet, skunky smell.
“This,” said Bob, “is a marijuana plant.”
“This plant lives all around the world,” he said.
“It can grow very, very tall with long green leaves.
Or, it can be short, fuzzy and purple!
Marijuana has been cultivated for thousands of years just like fruits, beans and grains.”
“Is marijuana a fruit?” asked Jackie.
“You could say it is,” said Bob.
“It grows flowers to make its seeds.
I pick the seeds to make food and oils.
Then I clip the flowers and dry them.”
“What do you do with the flowers?” asked Jackie.
“My friends eat them,” said Bob, “and smoke ‘em.”
“They smoke flowers?!”
“Yep. Doctors, teachers, artists, actors,
even mayors and presidents.
Marijuana makes some people feel happy. Other people say it’s ‘dreamy.’”
“Why do you use it, Farmer Bob?” asked Jackie.
“I don’t,” he said. “It just puts me to sleep!”
“Wow,” said Jackie, after they left. “I’m going to plant some marijuana at home!”
“We’ll talk about that later,” said her mom.
“Now we’re going to see my doctor, Dr. Eden.
I think she will have some more information for us.”
Dr. Eden had a very colorful office.
The receptionist told Jackie and her mother that they could come right in.
“Marijuana,” said Dr. Eden, “is used for many reasons. Like many plants,
it can be a medicine or a drug. It can heal pain,
it helps some people relax, and it calms the stomach and
helps many others eat when they need to.”
“Will it help me if I use it?” asked Jackie.
“No,” said the doctor.
“Marijuana is for adults who can use it responsibly.
It gives some people joy, but like many things,
it can be used too much. I don’t recommend it for everyone.
It is a strong medicine - not healthy for you right now.
I know you understand that there are some things that are okay for an adult,
but definitely not for children.”
Jackie and her mother left Dr. Eden’s office,
with her words and beautiful pictures floating through their heads.
“Marijuana is for grown-ups,” said Jackie’s mom.
“Like driving a car or drinking a glass of wine.
You can make a choice to try it or not when you are an adult.”
Suddenly, Jackie stopped to sniff the air.
“I know that smell!” she said....
“YOU’RE SMOKING MARIJUANA!” yelled out Jackie.
Four men on the corner, taken by surprise,
started laughing when they saw Jackie and her mother.
“Excuse me, Miss,” said one of the men, “I call that la la la.”
“And I,” said another, “call it ganja.”
“I call it cannabis sativa,” said the third.
“Oh?” said the fourth. “I call it...
reefers, muggles, cheeba cheeba, sinsemilla, sweet leaf and weee-”
Before he could even finish,
two police officers drove up and told the men to turn around
and put their hands up against the wall!
Jackie looked at an officer and asked him,
“Mister, why are you arresting these people?”
“Young lady,” answered the policeman,
“These men were smoking what I call grass, and that is against the law.”
“Marijuana isn’t against the law!” said Jackie.
“Yes.. it is,” he said slowly. “Let me try to explain...”
