Academia is a hot bed of leftism. And you are wrong on the pot heads. Being a 'hippie' is not 'cool' at all anymore. They pretty much get laughed all over town. Next time you go into church, look at your church youth group. That's your current generation of pot heads. Oh they keep it hidden well from their parents, but a large portion are doing it (and no I'm not implying that only church-going kids are potheads). No you are implying that all kids are pot heads. Got news for you, not all are, but you go ahead and peddle your views that marijuana is not a part of the drug culture, when common sense all around you, states otherwise.
You continue to put words in my mouth. I didn't say that all kids are pot heads. Let me repeat what I said.
but a large portion are doing it. My personal guesttimate is that over 75% have tried it, and probably 40% are very casual users, 25% are party users and 10% are normal/heavy users.
No you are implying that all kids are pot heads. Got news for you, not all are, but you go ahead and peddle your views that marijuana is not a part of the drug culture, when common sense all around you, states otherwise.
It is no more a part of the drug culture than alcohol. 99% of the reason it is associated with the drug culture is because the DEA classifies it as such still.
Sorry, I didn't grow up in the 'hippie generation'. All that 'common sense' is not around anymore. Marijuana today has nothing to do with hippies anymore. It's used by the same type of people that were using it before 1960, and that is your every day average kid. When was the last time you actually hung out with a teenagers/young adults? You know probably next to 0 about our lifestyle. Being a hippie is definately not a defining attribute.
