Ha, I’m conflicted. Watch part of a show again that I couldn’t even stick with through its entirety; or just take your word for it.

I guess I’m not that conflicted after all. I choose to believe you and not subject myself to that again. 🙂

> NBC’s _Parenthood_, albeit not a sitcom, has portrayed pot smoking a couple times, though the more recent one involved a middle-aged mom who had cancer and I’m not sure if they showed the actual buds (the first time was outside at night and just a passed-around joint).

They’ve shown some of the “kids” using it much more recently, and the stuff was shown in the bag and during use.

> _How I Met Your Mother_ had a running gag that narrator-Ted would Bowdlerize smoking pot to “eating a sandwich”. The characters would hold tiny hoagies like joints and be visibly stoned, or talk about how they were really looking forward to the weekend because they just got their hands on a big bag of sandwiches. Aside from narrator-Ted being unwilling to tell his kinds that the sandwiches were actually drugs, the show ranges from neutral to positive in its depiction of sandwich-eating.

Nitpick: They were big giant subs, usually.
