Some people like a glass of wine to end their night, or a cold beer when they get off work. I don't drink, so i prefer a bowl when i unwind.
Pictures of weed plants on your socks is for stupid kids that want to give the impression that they're rebellious, cool or trendy.
Glamorizing it like it's some great thing is just dumb. It's not that great, sorry. It's just weed. And it seems like half the people that listen to Reggae only listen to it because of Bob Marley and the association with weed.
When i see these idiots running around with giant weed leaf pictures on their shirt i just roll my eyes. Oh yay, you smoke weed, want a ****ing cookie?
It's not that big a deal. I wish everyone would stop acting like it is.
My issue isn't with weed or those that smoke it. My issue is with those who feel the need to glamorize it and flaunt it.
I just wanna smack those people and tell them, "It's just ****ing weed, NOBODY cares".

Yeah, I'd say most people that listen to reggae are because of Bob Marley. He kind of helped create and define the genre. I'd also throw Sublime into that mix as far as bringing people to the genre.
Weed isn't something I do when I'm bored, it's something I do a lot. I can do it at work or wherever I go basically. It's how I start my day, finish my day, and make it through the hours in between. Of course everyone does it differently and no way is right or wrong. But I'd say most pot smokers are not Ike you in the way you feel about it. If you don't feel that connection with it, then that's your prerogative. But don't get it twisted plenty of hip hop artists, rock artists, and surely lots of other types artists sing about it, and glamorize it. Not just reggae.
