10 Family Guy Episodes Probably Made Out Of Spite

If you can think of just about any hot topic that divides the entire population of the United States of America, there’s a good chance Family Guy has had its say on the subject. This is certainly the case with legalization of marijuana.

Seth MacFarlane is an advocate for such legalization, and has even admitted to smoking pot with his parents in the past. Like many things, he was able to put across his own views with Family Guy, in this case how he believes the country and the government sensationalises pot.

In the episode, two cops let Peter go despite being drunk at the wheel, covered in blood, with a corpse on the back seat, and a map detailing where he was going to bury the body. And yet, when they found a small amount of pot on Brian he was sent straight to prison.

As something of an attack on the ‘phony war on drugs’, in which Brian tells the real reason marijuana is illegal and that it is less dangerous than alcohol, Family Guy certainly took their shots, complete with one of its greatest songs to date.
