What’s a Little Weed Among Friends?

September 8th, 2009 by admin

Quite some time ago, maybe three or four years, Joe Lynch gave Kory a cute little book full of dog tricks.

Isn’t that a cute book?

Kory forgot about it for a while, but he recently picked it up while looking for some new things to teach Riley. Hello, Riley.

Kory was a little taken aback, and highly amused, when he reached the chapter on How to Teach Your Dog to Detect Marijuana. Go ahead. Enlarge the photo and read a little.

The reference to the “friendly neighborhood drug dealer” and the claim that “everyone knows someone who smokes grass” were my personal favorites. And not just a little grass, either:

And then there’s the actual training:

I can’t help but laugh every time I imagine Kory out in the yard with Riley and a bag of pot, calling “Where’s the grass? Find the grass!” I’m sure the police station up the road would be enthralled. Either that or the neighbors would think my brain damaged son was trying to get the dog to identify the lawn.

I honestly thought the book would have been published some time in the sixties, but it came out a little later:

Lucky for us, Riley is not interested in becoming a drug dog.

She thought the book made a pretty good pillow, though.

    I don’t see what is wrong with that at all. Detecting MJ is a very valuable skill!

    Maybe so, but encouraging my 15 year old son to go out an procure himself a big bag of weed is kind of questionable!

    Too bad, I might consider Riley less worthly of being lacquered if he had learned this skill.

    Aw, c’mon Eric. Riley has lots of useful skills! I can’t really think of any right off, but I’m sure she has them!

    In regards to post #2, I’m sure a small bag could be used for training purposes.

    [...] of my readers: I can’t BELIEVE none of you pointed out I spelled “among” wrong in this post. I’m an ENGLISH MAJOR for crying out loud, and that embarrassing mistake was up for months! [...]
