'For the love ...': The most bizarre detail from Maureen Dowd's pot candy freak-out

Oh dear.

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd didn’t just binge on a caramel-chocolate marijuana edible and share her tale with the world.

“I figured if I was reporting on the social revolution rocking Colorado…I should try a taste of legal, edible pot.” http://t.co/oNVRGfjk4X

Here’s what happened as the “panting and paranoid” Dowd “lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours” (emphasis added):

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.

Worse? No one told her not to wear “green corduroy jeans.”

Please tell us she hallucinated those pants. Please.

I think the takeaway from http://t.co/th3hUspSNL is that @NYTimesDowd chose to wear green corduroy jeans when she WASN'T yet high.

To be honest I think the most troubling thing about the Maureen Dowd pot column is that she apparently wears green corduroy jeans…

I'm mostly interested in Maureen Dowd's green corduroy jeans. Like, what a weird article of clothing.

Coming soon?

I fully expect all dispensaries to name a strain "Green Corduroy" after the Maureen Dowd story
