Snarky New York Times columnist Maureen "MoDo" Dowd treated us to some inadvertent chuckles when she wrote in her column yesterday about a very bad experience with a cannabis candy bar in Colorado. Not to mock her extreme discomfort when she ate many times the amount needed to get high for a neophyte consumer, MoDo clearly didn't listen to the information provided by the "guide" at the legal weed dispensary where she bought the chocolate bar. As the esteemed Charles P. Pierce noted:
"Perhaps it would have been smart to contact the "medical consultant" prior to downing the candy bar. Perhaps it would have been smart to talk to some of the regular customers of the edibles plant. Perhaps it would have been smart -- not to mention professionally obligatory -- to do some, y'know, real fking research before plunging right into your own hippocampus."Asking pertinent questions, weighing different information, and researching something before writing your "story" is basic journalism….oops, we forgot it's MoDo we're talking about.
