Something casual today, before I head off to England to stay at a haunted castle with a couple of friends (no joke). It amazes me that nobody seems to have remarked on the peculiar gardening habits of Morticia Addams, matriarch of the Addams family. If you know the entheogens, then you find references to them everywhere in culture. It’s like watching Disney movies as an adult, there’s stuff you can’t see as a kid and similarly, there’s stuff you can’t see as a tea-totaling adult.
My friends, this will shock you to hear, but the Addams family are on drugs. Allow me to show you some of the evidence. In the original TV series there is an episode called Cousin Itt’s Problem, released in 1965, where we find the following exchange:
Morticia Addams : Oh, Gomez, would you make the cocktails? You do them so well.
Gomez Addams : It’s that extra sprig of henbane.
