THE LANCE ENTERTAINMENT lew Movie Portrays feens Using Pot by AMANDA WILLOUGHBY STAFFV/RITER Living Off The Land And Roadkill Whether you sit in iNeal Bushovcn's Ameri- Government Class or not, It probably have an opin- aboutiL Is pot really the iless, hip drug of the leties, or is the whole ild going to fall victim to ifer madness?" i(il Either way, the Ahion and entertainment llustrics are cashing in on ^ so callcd "grass" roots Jivemcnt. the latest SJramercy Pictures "Puff fee" reports that the new- Pj, hottest selling motif on Ithes is theoh - so - familier '^jinabis leaf. In fact, they ),(iite, "The last word in cam- ^ s culture this fall is cloth- fl made out of hemp." “lough of that. If its "the last B|rd," we must all be wcar- j it, anyway, right? Hollywood has also is ml te 1st veil jumped on the pot, craze. The most blatant effort is prob ably the new Richard Linklaier filni, "Dazed and Confused" which examines the last day of high school in 1976, for one particular group of students. The movie is, of course, laced with scenes of beer and pot. Linklaier says to the authors of the "Puff Piece" ,"Pot is coming back in a real big way, andif you're going to make an honest teen movie, you're going to see beer drinking and pot smok ing." Perhaps this film is an honest representation of youth in 1976, and the youth of 1993. The easiest way to decide, and maybe to under stand something about the new pot mania, is to see for yourself. The film was re leased September 23.
