Today’s lamest headline is thanks to Discovery, which will soon announce a new docu-series called “Weed Wars,” featuring marijuana activist Steve DeAngelo and his work at the Oakland Harborside Health Center, the country’s largest pot dispensary.
The show will follow the journey of the plant from germination to harvesting to sales at Harborside, which has opened up a second location in San Jose despite “constant police monitoring and security sweeps,” says to the network. [EW]
So I guess the police sweeps are the “war” aspect of “Weed Wars”? It seems like every other reality show is some kind of war. “Storage Wars.” “Whale Wars.” “Cupcake Wars.” “Wedding Cake Wars.” The only war seems to be the one against irony. If TV networks named movies, The Social Network would have been called Friendship Wars.

Shocked that an old hippie with two braided pig tails and a hobo hat would work in a weed store.
I’m pro-weed, but some people love it way too much.
/nice placement of stoner dog
This show is going to be about hippies.
So yes, there will be a war, Matt…a war that involves me punching as many hippies as I can find.
I’ll call it Hippie War and it’ll premiere on whatever network that accepts submissions from a federal prison.
So it’ll be on the WB
I prefer the version on Showtime — it’s got Mary-Louise Parker instead of some aging hippie stoner.
Here’s how a weed war would go down.
Country 1: Hey, do you want to fight?
Country 2: Fight about what?
Country 1: What?
Country 2: Jesus, I could go for some IHOP.
Country 1: Fuck yeah, I’ll drive.
I’m pro-weed, but some people love it way too much.
If you’re a man with braids and a bowler hat, you love weed way too much.
For future instances of this, I humbly request a photoshop of a dandelion spraying roundup at a foxtail armed with clippers.
Perfect lead in for Cupcake Wars. So smart over there at Discovery.
I never thought I would be as unexcited for a TV show about growing weed.
Jeez UU, I know she’s not a classic beauty but do you have to call the hippie chick a “dog”?
(Yes, I see the poodle…Oh shit…he so hiiiiigh.)
Stoner Dog rulez!
Looks like he’s ready for a bit o’ the ultraviolence.
I hope they have a crossover event with INTERVENTION and follow it up with an episode of COPS, and finally one of those shows about being behind bars. I recommend he start learning now how to file his braids into shanks.
Lets face it, the man in that picture doesn’t believe in war, he believes in conflict resolution. They should rename it: “Weed Peaceful Mediation and Nonviolent Methods for Channeling Aggression”
so, are they also going to highlight the gangs that traffic people in to work as slaves producing the weed in grow-ops, stealing power and water, and basically all the bad things gangs do? No? Also shocked…
You’ve been watching NCIS again haven’t you.
Hey I don’t care what kind of hippies they show on this show. This can only be a good thing for people pro-weed.
Just seems like a buch of hating… no real comments.. Grow Up ? We are all in this together and ur prolly smoking hating on someone thats trying to help you… damn America is filled with “smartness” lol…
prolly = lots of weed; cheers.
