As an occasional pot smoker who has friends in law enforcement (none of them know) I keep hearing the same thing about us. We are all criminals and every pot head that they run into is always doing something else illegal. Another thread about a guy getting popped for possession after the police were called because of a domestic violence incident got me thinking.
Does anyone hate potheads who are actual criminals? I mean by definition we are all criminals but I don't see myself like that. I mean I pay my taxes, mow my lawn and take care of my wife, pot is the only criminal activity I take part in and all I do is buy it and smoke it. I guess I am from a simpler time when guys like Willie Nelson were the "stoners" and the worst thing they did was fire up a J driving down the road. Now we have all these rappers who flaunt the fact that they smoke and love to commit other crimes (especially violent ones.)
I mean it pisses me off here to read about the next generation of "pot culture" think its just fine to shoplift and steal from people. While I have seen a few try and justify violent crime against those who steal pot and rippers I don't think many would ACTUALLY do these things. I mean isn't pot culture about non-violence? I mean we protest, we don't firebomb DEA headquarters to get our point across. Anyone else outraged at the direction the "movement" is going?
