    After the legalization of marijuana leads to a dishonest pot-dealer receiving a huge tax bill, the de-motivated must become motivated before he can lead a one man crusade against a clean-cut district attorney to have the drug 're-criminalized'. (Am VERY interested in hearing some alternate titles for this. The punnier the better!)

    I think this idea has legs for sure but one key thing that dpg kinda brought up- believability. How can you convince the audience that this guy could actually succeed in his efforts to re-criminalize pot? He would have to have some strange bedfellows for sure, which is kinda of the irony I'm sure yoRead more

    He would have to have some strange bedfellows for sure, which is kinda of the irony I’m sure you wanted to explore, but how would this guy, as the poster child for the movement, gain the support of the people with clout he would need?

    Big Pharma, police chiefs and conservative politicians aren’t going to stand on a stage with a drug dealer, no matter how bad they want the same end goal. Those people need to think he is something other than what he is….

    So, I wonder if the greatest humor is actually in a slacker hippy drug dealer having to convince an evangelical town mayor he is a respectable citizen in order to get the support he needs to re-criminalize pot and reestablish his responsibility-free lifestyle?…. but of course the slacker hippy ARCS and learns to be responsible along the way, with some cool twist at the end. 🙂

    When an out of work teacher is given a deadline by a loan shark, he contracts a hit-man on himself so his family can collect on his life insurance. However after he befriends the hit-man they decide to fake his death instead.

    I'm having a problem with mentioning 'out of work' and 'hire' in the same sentence, It begs a question...
