This show means the world to me. I want my story of my personal relationship with Weeds, how it shaped me into who I am today, and why I can still love it as much as I did when I was a little child.

There are a lot of details in here (some you may think that are unnecessary), but everything ties in very well. Here's mine:

I was born in 2007, but at the age of 2, 3, and 4, my mom used to always watch Weeds. It'd just be playing on the TV all the time. By age 7, my mom and my three younger siblings moved back into the Family house temporarily. We stayed in my aunt's old bedroom. My aunt had all the seasons of Weeds in her wooden glass drawer--- as well as many other movies and shows. My mom would occasionally go in the drawer to pick out a a movie to watch. In this time, I recognized certain characters & scenes, but my eye's weren't glued to it. It'd be playing in the background and I'd find myself coloring and watching it. This went on for about 3 years.

One day in early 2021, I was scrolling through Netflix. During this time (late 2018-early 2022), my mom and siblings had been staying with my younger sister's dad. I had a laptop & a monitor and my favorite thing to do was to make beats and watch my content (whether it'd be movies/TV, YouTube, whatever). As I scrolled through Netflix, I noticed that Weeds was on there and that it was leaving the platform soon. I had a mini-vision where I saw myself as a small child watching the show. I immediately clicked on it and began watching the show from the beginning. I had never seen the show from beginning to end, only parts of it--- so this was very exciting for me. As I watched and watched the show, I became so comfortable with it. When I lived in my sister’s dad’s house, because there felt like so many people in the house, I kept my headphones on all day. I slept in the living room on a futon. We were in an apartment, so I sat at the big dinner table. I didn’t like to hear anybody while watching or listening to my stuff, so my headphones would be on all day. At night, at around. It wasn’t until around 11pm-12am when I could finally take my headphones off, let me ears breathe, and watch my shit without hearing other people. I’d go to school, come back around 4pm, and watch Weeds. Eventually, the month ended and Weeds was no longer available to watch on Netflix. So, I had to find another way to watch the show. If I can avoid paying something, best believe that I’m gonna go that route. So, I ended up finding this one free movie website that had all the seasons, no ads, good quality. I continued to watch the show. What I loved about the show was how personable it was. I wasn’t rich or grow up in suburbia, but I really connected with Silas. We moved around from our own place, to a family members house, to another, and on. I just related to Silas so much, and the more I grew up the more I understood him. I was a kid who was raised in the IE that was always moving. The comedy, the darkness, the style of how each character was portrayed was impeccable. I just wanted to keep watching. I’m not a gamer type of guy, but I would play this Roblox tycoon game called Resort Tycoon. I really love color and that’s really all I would play it for. I’d play that while watching Weeds. It became a regular thing to watch the show while playing that specific game.

As I began coming close to the end of the show, I really started to appreciate it beyond and beyond. One of my favorite episodes in the later seasons is the episode where Andy coaches Jill’s daughters in their roller derby game. I ended up going roller skating for my birthday that year because I wanted to pay sort of a tribute to the show.

When I finished Weeds, a chapter of my life that had been waiting to be written had finally been completed. The last episode always gets me. Some people think the ending is horrible, but I love the fuck out of that ending. The way all the characters (Doug, Silas, Shane, Andy, and Nancy) come together and sit on the steps while smoking a joint is just so heartwarming. These are the core. That’s the real family of Weeds.

What can I say… I grew to love every single character on screen EXCEPT for Peter. He was the worst character. I really loved Doug, Andy, and Silas. The whole cast was really a gift.

I just related to them so much. Though I was born in the 2000s, but didn't grow up in 2000s, I did however grow up watching content from those years, having items from those years, etc. I grew up with products from that decade.

I’m 17 today, and I have been smoking weed since I was 14. I’m not a heavy user. I like to hit a joint, dispo, or a bong every now and then. When I started smoking weed, it really brought me closer to the show and closer to myself.

The most valuable thing that I hold to my heart that came from this show, is that “Life is just blah blah blah”.

There are so many iconic, memorable, and unique moments in this show that it brings joy and tears to my eyes when I see or hear someone that knows the show.

This show has been my comfort show for a long time now. I’ve watched the show over ten times. I had to disconnect myself from the show because twice I had started the show, finished it in like a week, took a couple weeks off, then started watching it again.

When I hear the song "Shane Digs Gretchen" (song from season two) that song takes me backkk. It brings me to a certain mind of peace. A time where my life was just so simple. I check my Apple Music Replay every now and then, and that song has been on at the top of the playlist since the beginning of 2024. But, it’s understandable… the song is short and very memorable for me. I love the season two soundtrack.

With the many close people in my life, I just wish I could get through their heads how much the show means to me. Everyone is different, no one is the same. It doesn’t matter how well you explain something to someone or do your best to make them understand how great something makes you feel, they’ll never understand on the same level as you—- that’s life.

This show is great man.

TIA edit: I needed this laugh, I will re-post in an official arborist subreddit. I do have a professional arborist coming on Monday to check this out.

as per the title. in seasons 4 to 7 Nancy sleeps with practically every character (both male and female) she meets, always unprotected and usually within a handful of seconds of first meeting. he even offers to do cunnilingus for some trim! that bitch has some serious self-control issues.

Okay Megan in the finale pisses me off. And honestly the fact that Silas doesn’t facilitate a relationship between his daughter and mother is sad to me. He has moved on from his childhood and has a relationship with his mom and his wife should be respectful of that. As a wife I understand resentment of an in law. I get it I do! However my husband chooses to have a relationship with his parents and so no matter what feelings I have towards his parents I do love them, know that they love their grandchildren, and am kind to them. I am also a child from an abusive home. My parents had a lot of issues when I was growing up but since then we’ve all grown and changed and have good relationships. If my husband was actively rude to my father about things that happened 15 years ago, things that I have moved on from, I would not be okay with it. I understand Megan is her own woman and I love that about her but you can keep someone at arms length without being actively rude to them. I also understand protecting your children and I can see where she might feel like she needs to do that so really I do see where she’s coming from but on the other hand… they see Nancy a couple times a year? You can’t let her hold her grand daughter? Okay rant over. It just really rubbed me the wrong way and I had to express my feelings lol. I am a Nancy fan. I think she’s a mess and definitely put her kids in plenty of unhealthy environments but to me it seems like she’s grown by the time the finale came around and I think if I can see that then I wish Megan could.

Found this on fb and died🤣🤣

Hi there! Julia from Charitybuzz.com here.

I wanted to reach out about an incredible charity auction we're doing in support of Chris Evert Charities for the chance to win the chance to meet Full Metal Jacket, Weeds & Stranger Things Matthew Modine via Zoom!

Chris Evert Charities provides prevention and intervention programs to eliminate drug abuse and child neglect.

Let me know if you have any questions & the link to bid is above!

When they get back to the USA shouldn't Shane be like immediately arrested? There was a tape in Estebans car SHOWING Shane killing Pilar and both Guillermo and Ignacio have 0 reason not to point that out..

I know Ignacio got out early and he does say "they got the color of the car we were driving wrong" as part of why so maybe they just never found/saw the tape or when he gets back he's using fake name..

But then he becomes a COP how do they not flag him

Mrs. Mullen is the mother of Shane's police officer girlfriend.

Old Partner is the fat guy with a step son.

honestly feel like nancy shouldn’t have won the last round but lol

Doing a rewatch and in S3, while they use Celia's house to grow, there's a scene between the two ladies. They had such a funny chemistry together. The producers missed an opportunity to have them become some sort of friends with their sarcastic banter. Thats my rant. Love the show.
