Maureen Dowd Suffers Pot Paranoia As Dopers Advance
NYT columnist says she was ‘curled up in a hallucinatory state’ for eight hours
Maureen Dowd of The New York Times has attracted attention with her column about eating a marijuana candy bar and remaining in “a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours,” as she began “panting” and becoming “paranoid.” Some commentators are laughing about it.
