We are doctors, lawyers, teachers and all of the other professions as well as kids. Cannabis is used by a cross-section of the population. However, the public sees only the "13 year old stoners" and the skull supports this illusion. Then there are the "satanic" implications- yes, I agree no one but a fool would connect using cannabis with satanism- but it seems to me that the prohibs ARE a big bunch of fools! And they will jump on anything that furthers their insane cause. The skull does not help at all! Skulls are immature symbols of teen-type rebellion at best. I don't even want to go into their symbolism at the worst! I'm working on a degree in psychology, and the implications of having a skull as part of the logo for a psychologically supportive site, disturb me. I know that the greater majority of you are under 25 and are male, but even so guys, skulls aren't THAT cool. (I had a big rant here and deleted it- it was on the popularity of skulls and how they can be a marker for insane societies- do your own research if you are interested- start with the Aztecs, and the Skull and Bones Society) The lettering is fine, but the skull must go! I'd replace it with a nice fat indica leaf. :dance:
:dance: I wish I were as gifted at getting a point across, without ruffling feathers as you are, Stormie :thumbsup: ... you absolutely are on top of this, and naturally, I couldn't agree more :dance: ... btw, do you still visit TY ? ... it seems pretty slow over there lately ... :smokin:
