i kid, i kid.

but i highly doubt that yesterday's tokers actually got involved politically. Most of them probably majored in other things (if they even completed their majors). Keep in mind, tokers of back in the day were more for activism, today's tokers are much more casual. For the most part, today's tokers just smoke and have fun, while people from the 60's toked, but also gathered in huge rallies to protest all kinds of things, from college campuses, to the streets, from the war in vietnam, to legalization, they actually got up and did stuff...today's tokers complain online but don't do anything...for the most part.

Hey I send letters to congress, I send letters to my local representatives, etc. Most people aren't bothered enough to do that.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Obama ALL admitt to toking just to mention a few and what did it get us.....Clinton actually esculated the war on drugs 10 fold!

If people of yesterday were to be asked what a drug dealer was they'd probably have said some burnt out hippy getting high having sex all day. Today if people were asked they'd probably say some punk wearing a blue or red scarf with a 9mm in their pants. THAT is one of the MAJOR problems with the movement today. We got a violent element involved that is being related to the toking scene.

Also, we didn't talk of ripping people off in order to buy a bag........I can't count how many times I've seen that type of garbage here on this forum that does nothing but give the rest of us a bad name. There was a thread in here about a week ago on how some dude felt bad about pinching a bag he bought for someone else. THEN there was an assclown reply stating that he made it common practice! Just one of many sort of b.s. posts/threads about the rip-off issue.

We were much further on the way of changing laws in the past than today.......when the "older crowd" relates weed usage to violence and thievery there is very little hope for change. Not like the old days when your kid was a peaceful hippy type...now the parents are scared shitless that they may have a gun in their face or that lil' precious popped someone on the street.

I commend you on shouting out to the politicians though.......more people should!:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . A thought on mindsets... Today, my school had a meeting about prom (that I'm not going to), and our principal kept warning us not to do drugs and stupid things that we shouldn't be doing, etc. Every time he mentioned drugs (which I'm sure he was specifying marijuana), he said it in an angry, stern voice. I realize that he, along with everyone in his generation is against marijuana, probably because of all the ignorance and propaganda. Most of those people don't know the facts, or they REFUSE to believe, no matter Rating: 5
