An Infomercial for Pot-Heads?? Are Marijuana Smokers Using the AeroGarden to Grow Weed?
Monday, December 17th, 2007
The AeroGarden sells itself as a great way for people to have fresh herbs and lettuce always available in their kitchens. The infomercial for the AeroGarden takes place in a clean suburban-looking kitchen and features testimonials from lots of middle-aged soccer moms.
But the first time I saw the AeroGrow infomercial I thought, “Isn’t that a device for growing marijuana?” The only association I have with hydroponics and fluorescent “grow lights” being used to grow plants inside a private residence is that of some weed-head trying to cultivate some really killer bud.
Many people have watched infomercials while stoned, but this may be the only infomercial that can actually help people get stoned!
I wondered if anyone else had a similar thought on seeing the AeroGarden on TV.
The topic of using the AeroGarden to grow weed is indeed a subject of some discussion on marijuana websites. The opinions are sharply divided between those who say they actually use the AeroGarden to grow marijuana and those who insist the product is worthless for that purpose.

Forget Cathy Mitchell and Erica Shaffer. If the AeroGarden makes a new infomercial they should sign up Woody Harrelson and Snoop Dogg as celebrity endorsements!
