Rick: Um...well, I knew it wasn't physically addictive, so I guess I didn't think it was all that dangerous. Jeff: Thanks, Dad. You've given me a lot to think about. Rick: I have? Joanie: What's up, menfolk? Jeff: Hi, mom! We just had an honest discussion about pot, right, dad? Rick: Uh... Joanie: Honest? You were honest? Are you out of your mind?
