Did five-time Emmy winner John Larroquette get paid in weed for his narration work in 1974’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

One of the oldest rumors in showbiz was finally confirmed by Larroquette himself in a recent interview with Parade.

“Totally true,” Larroquette said. “[Director Tobe Hooper] gave me some marijuana or a matchbox or whatever you called it in those days. I walked out of the [recording] studio and patted him on the back side and said, ‘Good luck to you!'”

Larroquette, who would go on to achieve fame for his role in the classic sitcom Night Court, admits that he’s “not a big horror movie fan” and has not seen any of the Texas Chainsaw films, but he was happy to do a favor for friend (and score some weed).

Although The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was filmed on an extremely low budget, it would go on to become one of the most iconic horror films of all time, with several sequels and remakes.

Larroquette reprised his narration role for Netflix’s 2022 sequel, creatively entitled Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Unfortunately [spoiler alert], the movie was a total dud, which critics and horror fans alike were all too happy to lambast as a complete waste of their time.

Larroquette, meanwhile, has moved onto other projects included a new reboot of Night Court.

Moon Rock Weed: Out of This World

What is Moon Rock Weed?

Definition and Composition with Hash Oil

Marijuana moon rocks are a unique and highly potent cannabis product that combines multiple forms of cannabis into one extraordinary item. The creation process begins with high-quality cannabis buds, which are then coated in hash oil—a concentrated form of cannabis extract. This sticky, oil-covered bud is subsequently rolled in kief, a collection of resin glands found on cannabis flowers. The result is a product that boasts THC concentrations of 50% or higher, far surpassing the typical 15-30% found in standard cannabis strains. This combination of cannabis buds, hash oil, and kief makes moon rocks an exceptionally strong and sought-after product in the cannabis community.

History and Rise to Fame

The creation of marijuana moon rocks is credited to West Coast rapper Kurupt, who brought this potent product into the limelight in the mid-2010s through his brand, Kurupt’s Moonrock. Since their introduction, moon rocks have garnered a reputation as a premium cannabis product, often likened to the “champagne” of the marijuana world. Marijuana moon rocks stand as a symbol of both the uniqueness and evolution within the cannabis industry, representing not only high potency but also the creativity in cannabis culture. Their rise to fame has been fueled by their powerful effects and unique composition, making them a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts. The combination of celebrity endorsement and the product’s exceptional potency has solidified moon rocks’ status as a top-tier choice for those seeking an elevated cannabis experience.

Alcohol vs Marijuana: Alcohol Worse?

Turns out, your friend who swapped tequila shots for THC gummies might be on to something. A new poll has found that a majority of Americans now believe alcohol is more harmful to a person’s health than marijuana—and frankly, it’s about time. The severe health risks associated with alcohol use, including addiction, various diseases, and a high incidence of mortality, are becoming more widely recognized.

The survey, conducted by YouGov, asked over 1,000 U.S. adults to weigh in on which substance does more damage: good ol’ booze or that plant that’s still somehow federally illegal. The verdict? 64% of respondents said alcohol is more dangerous, compared to just 27% who pointed the finger at weed. The rest? They couldn’t decide or didn’t care enough to pick.

Compliments: The Power Move

There’s something oddly revolutionary about giving someone a compliment these days. Not the hollow, “Nice shirt, bro,” kind. I mean a real, unfiltered, bone-deep acknowledgment of something another human being is doing right. A small moment of connection that—let’s be honest—we’re all too stingy with.

And that’s a shame. Because in a world addicted to criticism and keyboard jockeys, the compliment is punk rock. It disrupts. It challenges cynicism. It rewires the way we see each other—and ourselves.
