NDP candidate launches pro-pot-smoking book mimicking Harry Potter series—for the kids

Written by Joel Johannesen on Friday September 21 2007 at 04:46 PM


It’s like a freakshow come to life.  Not the Harry Potter books—Canada’s far-left idiot politicians who want to run our country. 

These people—“progressives”—socialists—want to create a national government-run and government (taxpayer) funded child daycare (and “early learning”— wink!) program—to LOOK AFTER YOUR KIDS. 

B.C. bud inspires hemp-tinged parody of Harry Potter series

NDP candidate hopes success of Mary Jane fantasy will see him rolling in it

THE PROVINCE - A federal NDP candidate has written a book that reads like something J.K. Rowling might have conjured up, if she smoked B.C. bud.

It’s called Hairy Pothead and the Marijuana Stone and features a character with the same name who lives an ordinary life until he’s rescued by a biker, gets a glass bong and is taken to Cannabis Castle where he attends Hempwards School of Herbcraft and Weedery and smokes a tonne of marijuana.

The potted parody of Rowling’s hit Harry Potter series is written by Dana Larsen, the NDP candidate in the riding of West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast.

[...]

Larsen’s Hairy Pothead learns to play Qannabbi instead of Quidditch, meets Delirious Bake instead of Sirius Black—and on it goes with other Rowlingesque characters such as Master Head Alwaze Duinthadope, Professor Moruvva McGanjagal and other stoner members of the Hempwards staff.

Larsen said he’s not concerned Hairy Pothead might put off some voters who don’t share his enthusiasm for weed and hemp.

The New Democrat said he’s always been upfront about his marijuana activism—even during his nomination, which he won earlier this year by acclamation.

Larsen, 36, manages the Vancouver Seed Bank, which sells marijuana seeds by mail order. He is the former editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine.

He is also a good friend and colleague of Marc Emery, the B.C.-based “Prince of Pot” who is being targeted by the U.S. federal government for selling marijuana seeds through the mail to U.S. customers.

Emery edited and published Hairy Pothead.

Larsen’s book is being sold in a magazine format, at $8.95, with an initial run of 30,000 copies. He said it will be available at both head shops and chain book stores.

He said he hopes to follow Rowling’s example and write sequels if his initial offering is popular.

“If I attract only a tiny fraction of the audience Harry Potter got, then my book will be a bestseller.”



Clearly, the “leader” of the you’ve got to be kidding party, Jack Layton, fully endorses this crap.  What a leader.  I would suggest you keep your kids away from Layton and all NDP politicians, quite frankly. 

And keep an extremely close eye on their schoolroom lessons and day-to-day activity in our nation’s public schools.
