Indeed! So we stoners are the ones who actually lives above the influence... of the government BS! :jointsmile::stoned::rastasmoke:


And for the OP... I think some stoners feels superior to non-stoners because they know a thing non-stoners doesnt know: how is to be high.

Being high is another state of consciousness, different from the usual "waking sober" one, and everything we do and are is very related to the state (or states) of consciousness we know.

For example, whenever i have to think about anything important, i think about it sober, then i smoke and think about it stoned. Usually the viewpoints i have in this differents states of consciousnes are very different. Analysing a thing when sober and when stoned gives me a better, a wider perspective than if i analysed it only sober, as non-stoners would do.

So, from this viewpoint a stoner actually has more resources, more knowledge, than the non-stoner, because it can see anything from two different viewpoints, instead only one.

Of course knowing more, or being wiser than other people doesnt give anyone the right to feel superior. But unfortunately many people think it does, and feels like this...
Coelho Reviewed by Coelho on . Humility Why do I often feel that there are many stoners who believe they are in some way superior to those who do not toke ? I can only say that in my experience that if someone is an idiot before they start toking they don't cease to be an idiot after sparking one up. In some ways I am superior to the next man but by the same token they will have me dead beat on other things. Swings and roundabouts. :thumbsup: Rating: 5
