- NEW!
by CheddarCheese on January 7th, 2010
Back in the old days, the word 'dope' wasn't really associated with drugs. It was a word used to describe an idiot, or fool, or someone really stupid. The WWII generation seemed to like the use of this word (i.e. "Quit acting like a dope."). Then, when the drug era came into being and ever since, they associated the stupid, silly, foolishness of drug users with the word 'dope', which led to phrases like 'taking dope', 'being on dope', 'using dope', 'being a doper', 'doped up', etc.
what if someone spliced the genes that produce the buzz in pot into a legal plant? (tomato, lawn grass, ivy, etc)
