I think aligning your personal brand with marijuana is always a bold choice. It is an illegal product that is often associated with ‘the underworld + underachievers’, so any1 who wears indicators of ‘being a bro who chills on weed’ is a truly free spirit who does not care about society’s ‘rulez and regulationz’. Being a lil bro in a ‘metaphorical graphic tee’ indicates that u have a lot of swagger (aka ’swag’) kinda like Vern Troyer.
Lil People can do the same stuff that ‘regular people’ can do. Smoking weed, tugging off to internet p0rn, or even ‘going 2 clubz and bein on party pic sites then looking at urself the next day and finding life to be a lil bit more meaningful.’
Is ’smoking dope’ authentic? Or is it an ‘entry level’ gateway drug towards a mainstream alternative lifestyle? Or is it for people who ‘can’t handle the real world’ and ‘aren’t creative enough to do anything other than watch movies/eat/go to concerts because they think they appreciate music’? Or is marijuana kinda like ‘giving urself a morning tugjob’–it’s just not a big deal.
Is marijuana too ‘entry level’ 4 u?
Do u get blazed and read HRO?
What is it like 2 get ‘lifted’?
Remember the first time ur parents found ‘ur stash’ and u thought it was the end of ur life cuz weed is so illegal?
R u gonna move 2 Canada where they legalized PCP?
Does ‘grass’ make u ‘more intellectual’?
How do u feel about mainstreamBros who morf into weedBros and have ‘bromantically meaningful conversations about life’ 2gether then go to Taco Bell/Wendy’s Late Nite?
Have u ever listened to Bob Marley or just kinda heard his personal brand talked about a lot because he sang vague songs about ‘freedom’, ‘peace’ and ‘enjoying life’? (a model implemented by Dave Matthews)

Smoking weed is dope if u wanna ‘chill out’… but going to a party all stoned isn’t really that fun…I’d rather be ‘keyed’ up or ‘buzzin’ off Sparks™. I’m trying to quit blazing y’all bcause I feel that It lead me down a path of mediocre alt-ness. I’m gonna start blazing again once I ‘get my shit together’ and have my own ‘pad’ to grow weed at. I think weed gave me ADD. What does Adderrall taste like?
PS- Should I buy a t-shirt with a ‘pookie’ on it?

Adderall literally tastes sweet… sort of like saccharine.
People make way to much of a big deal about “stoners”. There not as common as you think. The typical profile of a marijuana user has no typical profile. Everyone should smoke at least a little sometimes…. like fertilizer for your personal brand. Like all drugs people should know that you use it sometimes but not ALL THE TIME…. because frankly stoners are pretty boring….. but occasional smokers are quite interesting. It’s really the one drug (besides alcohol) that anyone can use without pretense. Now if your doing blow off an ipod then I think your trying to send a message… drugs in and of themselves don’t make people alt… but they usually don’t hurt.

@anony, tru…any 1 whose brand revolves around a/drug(z) tends to become a trying-to-hard/not enough parody of a sidekick in a shitty Adam Sandler/Will Ferrel movie…or they’re an alt bro chillin’ out at LACMA on a sunday afternoon talkin loud about how “comin’ down” they are, “d00d.”
but a little of anything now and then, even if it is smoked out of a lightbulb in a dumpster behind a ghey club: not a bad thing.

i smoke weed every day multiple times.. really i find it a habit that havent stopped since i was 14.
now i smoke even more than i used to, because i live in l.a and have medical card, so i can just buy it at the clubs.
i think smoking weed is only authentic if its works for you. i personally use it to get outside the box and think in wildly different ways, and when i work on music, it helps tremendously, because it allows me to let go of the bullshit that doesnt matter completly and focus on one thing

Weed is almost the complete antithesis of a drug. It’s an all-natural substance that can and should be used openly. Society has told us that it’s dangerous, and has therefore made it illegal… it just perpetuates a stronger division between cultures/races/people/etc. People fuck themselves up more on fucking Tylenol/prescription drugs than on weed. Or alcohol for that matter. Have you ever seen a bar fight between two stoned people?? Weed brings people together. Bottom line; pot isn’t a big deal…

@Gldfsh,
so are corn, sunlight and human beings.
can you guess which kills more people every year? Sharks + boa constrictors + poisonous mushrooms + hurricanes. or perhaps hospital born infections.
the “natural argument” as you put it, is valid because its one of several characteristics of marijuana. its an ALTernative to our medical system in most states, in several parts of the world. it is one of the largest cash crops. it can be grown privately, used privately or conversely it could be a taxable crop/product.
it smells good, it tastes good, it doesnt have to be smoked. it has cancer fighting properties.
boa constrictors are beautiful because they are nature, and their not parasytic.
poisonous mushrooms.. thats kind of vague, however several vaccinations have come from fungi. the mysteries of plant life have yet to be fully understood.. come on you can do better then that.
and hurricanes.. hurricanes a natural phenomenom.. we’re not talking about cultivating storms here, however you might be interested in reading some of Kurt Vonneguts accounts of his time working for GE with his brother who researched storm brewing, in a sense. or just checking out what the Chinese government does with anti aircraft guns to cause rain.. tis true
i think you probably over estimate the effect marijuana use has on people based on your own experiences, so you form hastey opinions of people who behave differently then you, and generalize based on that. fair enough.
again i think NATURAL is benefitial.. its not the only argument for marijuana, the thing worth considering is that the argument isnt about forcing people to smoke pot, its about giving sanction to those who do.

PHONY is right. and as if snorting fucking coke is alt. do you know how many bros do coke? and GNOs. jezuz. helllooo all of them. so stupid to say its alt. it keeps you skinny, and at suuuuch a cheesy cost. ucsb frat boys and GNOs fucking on coke with bros watching, some gross little hipsters trying to ‘pussyfootedly molest each other on coke, maybe even trying (and failing) to be a badass with some contrived moves and dirty talk– you go limpdick boy — toe-may-toe to-ma-to. so if you think you’re being alt by doing coke you’re a tool. its just an ego drug. everyone thinks they’re all fucking hot on it. which i guess is what a lot of alts are seeking, since they’re insecure bastards. what- its true. the posture, the chip on the shoulder, the sallow gross little face from never going outside, except for some bullshit picnic where everyone is uncomfortable and you just get shitfaced and take “candid” pictures of yourself trying to look like bob dylan and edie sedgwick. allergic to grass and sun. trying to play it off like you don’t like the music on, thats it, yeah. sniffing your flomax. grow a heart.

Maybe it’s different in other places of the world, but here in california, weed is pretty normal. (at least with everyone chill)
