Currently working my way through Season 2 of Weeds on Blu-Ray. Fantastic show!
Surely the whole show `promotes` (but also takes the p*** out of) the whole drugs culture???

It`s actually an extra on the DVD box set that was rejected, not the entire season.

Quote:
Cream of the Crop is a 5 minute DVD extra for the US TV show Weeds. It consists of a segment, filmed in the style of a cookery programme, in which a member of the cast introduces the viewer to his top 5 varieties of marijuana. He extols the virtues of each variety in terms of its flavour and effects and encourages viewers to obtain and partake in marijuana.

Although the Board accepts that the work is played with a certain degree of knowing humour, it is clear that the lack of any other content or context means that the likely effect of the work, taken as a whole, is to promote and encourage the use of illegal drugs. The Board's Guidelines state that No work taken as a whole may promote or encourage the use of illegal drugs

The BBC typically getting it wrong as always.
