    "cortical lesions" may refer to the "Uglies", a 2005 science fiction Orwellian novel by Scott Westerfeld, as it turns out populations is controlled by the way of surgery lesions in the brain to make the people placid --JakubNarebski (talk) 22:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC) Or it could refer to River Tam (e.g. https://xkcd.com/311/ or https://xkcd.com/406/) 172.69.42.130 (talk) 03:12, 25 September 2020 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

    Anyone notice that the third panel preshadowed the Vancouver riots? 108.162.250.223 (talk) 05:53, 13 September 2014 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

    edit: moved previously added information to proper paragraph in explanation 108.162.216.84 03:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

    I have the feeling that the grass in the last panel is different varieties of marijuana, which the girls have thoroughly labeled as such. Consumption of this grass would lead to the sensation described in the title text. 173.245.53.105 16:21, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
