Doobie or not Doobie? Five (Possibly) Weed-Related Lines in Shakespeare's Work
As the bones lay resting at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon pending the Professor's request, speculation as to whether William Shakespeare was high when he composed his famous literary works only raises new questions about possible working titles or first drafts of famous quotes.*
A selection of five classic works of Shakespeare reconsidered:
A Midsummer Night's Spliff
The Medical Marijuana Merchant of Venice Beach
The Merry Wives of Weed
Eighth Night
All's Well That Rolls Well
Five famous quotes as they might have originally been or intended:
"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May" (Sonnet 18)
"Get thee to a dispensary." (Hamlet)
"We few, we happy few, we band of tokers." (Henry V)
"A hit. A very palpable bong hit." (Hamlet)
"All the world's a
stage, and all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages. Don't fuck up the rotation." (As You Like It)
