In 2021, in Season 23, South Park added a storyline about Tegridy Farms, a legal cannabis brand owned by Randy Marsh (voiced by Trey Parker). "I think we’re really for the first time going to bring Tegridy Weed into real life," Parker's co-creator Matt Stone hinted. That never happened.
Beware of spoilers
Fast forward to Season 27, Episode 3 ("Sickofancy) in which Parker and Stone sadly close the doors of Tegridy after an ICE raid.
Randy tells the family: "My marijuana business is failing again. The government took all my Mexicans."
He consults ChatGPT for advice. The female voice tells him to change the name of the brand to Techridy. Randy explains to the pot-smoking Towlie (Vernon Chatman), "All we need is me, you, ChatGPT and one Mexican," adding:
"We're no longer a marijuana farm. We are now an AI-powered marijuana platfom for global solutions. Our AI-platform tranfers insights from the cannabis ecosystem into global action. And just like a tech company, we are expanding our minds by microdsoing ChatGPT."
"Horse tranquilizer?" Towlie asks. Randy replies:
"It's a microdose of horse tranquilizer. These tech guys do one little spray in their nose once a day. It's a micro amount of ketamine to get their minds the edge to work with ketamine."
Randy decides to send Towlie to Washington, DC to meet Pres. Trump, While there Randy appears as a hologram and says, "We need you to reclassify marijuana on the federal level."
Trump ignores Randy's request and asks for a present, which turns out to be Towlie, who ends up in the president's bathroom.
It's a high-larious episode, combining pot politics (rescheduling marijuana), alternative drugs (ketamine), tech (ChatGPT), immigration (the Glass House ICE raid in July), the takeover of DC and, of course, Trump's cozy relationship with Satan.
