I am a survivor of decades of domestic violence and abuse. I had a severe case of PTSD. Marijuana is the only medicine that actually brings me relief without disabling side-effects, gives me back my quality of life, and allows me to be a productive and successful person. However, I still have nagging guilt and anxiety from growing up in the Midwest where "good people" don't smoke weed. "Disjointed" has characters and story lines that nearly anyone can relate to in some way. This show educates about, legitimizes, and normalizes marijuana use. The humor ranges from gentle empathy to in-your-face hilarity! I can't count how many different emotions I feel from one moment to the next.
Most of the time the jokes and banter are mundane and realistic, then you are hit with psychedelic animation, and finally, a giant dose of adolescent ridiculousness that smacks you in the head with the characters of Dank and Dabby. At first, I was taken aback by them, but now I can't wait until they show up! They represent the child-like joy and wonder that abuse victims rarely get to experience. I wrote this review to thank the creators of this show for helping me give myself permission to feel happy :) Ruth's Alternative Care (the fictional cannabis shop in the show) has indirectly cared for me for real.
