That's what we are to them, 'Hippies'.


Yes, exactly we need to eliminate the stereotype.
At the moment we are being calm, relaxed stoners. We need to be angry and violent IMO, just like the anti alcohol prohibitionists.

Oh yeah and BTW it wasn't Obama that played it down. The change.gov site has nothing to do with Obama, they just are kind of a representative for the people.
Sue the media. Calling cannabis users, be it for medical or recreational use, the term hippies is their way of degrading the issue.
