Apologies in advance if this offends you, but I have to get something off my chest.
I think it’s time that stoners get a major update on their public image.
To this day we still have the same ideas concerning pot smokers, and most people think of them as lazy goofballs who say “yeah, dude” a lot. I am not saying those people don’t exist, of course they do, but those are mostly young people. I am an adult, I work a full time job, have a family, go to church, and I smoke cannabis every single day. All the guys down at the cannabis dispensary know me by name, because I come in there so often. It’s funny that I know so many of them, because I used to buy cannabis from one or two of them back in the day before legalization happened in this state. Pot growers work hard, as do budtenders, and that should tell you a lot about the cannabis community right there! Almost everyone I know uses cannabis on a regular basis, if not using it every single day of the week, and not one person among them is a stoner burnout. The image is promoted mostly by the establishment, and promoted by Big Tobacco, to help demonize cannabis and make it seem wrong or immortal, or harmful. This is crazy to me, because tobacco is so much more addictive and harmful than cannabis could ever be! It’s fine by me if you choose not to smoke cannabis, but you have to wake up and realize that it is not weird, it’s normal!
