Thanks to Horse reader Ilene, who sends this great new Dharma-Burger. She writes:
Saw this and had to send it on to you. And to think I've been meditating all this time and all I had to do to reach enlightenment was eat a mint. Who knew?

P.S.
Love your website. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for that, Ilene, and thanks for the tip!

The Horse has talked a few times about how often pot-culture makes reference to "Buddha" as a name for pot itself. Recently a MySpace "friend" posted this ad on the Horse's MySpace page.
It's an ad for "Big Buddha Bud." The copy recounts a very true-to-life conversation between dear friends. Ahem:
My buddy Mark stopped hanging out with me because he has to do a piss test every week. Just last week, though, I see him sparking up. I'm like "Dude are you smoking bud again???" and he is all "Yeah! I bought ONE POUND of legal bud at [website] and I don't need to worry, this shit doesn't come up in piss tests and it's some potent shit!"
Then, our unnamed narrator replies to his good friend Mark, "One pound??? Holy fuck dude you can sell this shit!!!" After seeing how good this bud was I decided to go to [website] myself and bought 8 ounces of Big Buddha Bud. I figured I might as well smoke this and be a local retailer in the neighborhood too."
Um, what's that advice that the Buddha gave about picking your friends? Oh yeah: choose ones who will be good Dharma-friends, who will help you uphold what you're trying to do in your practice. He even said that a poor choice of friend might be "a ready companion to frequent the streets at ungodly hours." And that's not even talking about the use of intoxicants!
Not that so many of us are perfect, but old Mark and our unnamed narrator ain't even tryin'.
As for the MySpace friend who posted this, thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think it was sent as a Dharma-Burger submission. It was actually one of several junk postings that she had posted in a row.
So I hope she doesn't mind that she's since been ...ahem... DE-friended.
