The Weeds Social Club Facebook App Teaches Players the Drug Business

The Weeds Social Club is a Farmville-inspired Facebook game based on Showcase's notorious show Weeds.

In this game, the player has to sell pot to other users and have enough money to save his house, similar to Nancy Botwin in the Weeds show. The main worries of the player are police raids and other drug lords that may interfere with business. The user also has to give out tasks to fellow characters in the game and hope that his weed-selling business goes as plan.

The Weeds Social Club game is a fun way to feel a little rebellious in the virtual world and provides an escape from harsh realities.
