N. and I are watching a Soviet trivia quiz from 1982. (And discovering that we both remember it from watching it back when we were 6 years old. Which is very creepy.)
“Thanks to this plant, the Soviet people can see sausage, candy, milk, and other foods in our grocery stores,” the show’s host announces. “Please name this plant.”
“Wow, I had now idea hashish was discussed so openly on Soviet television,” N. says.
He is right, the only way of seeing all of that stuff in Soviet grocery stores was by getting stoned out.
