People who smoke weed regularly are a breed apart from those who smoke occasionally or for medical purposes. "Pot heads" as they are known, are the biggest THREAT to the legalization of marijuana, even though they are at the same time the strongest supporters thereof. They need to know that, when trying to change drug policies, their audience is neither marijuana smokers or marijuana prohibitionists. It is the reasonable middle that has to be persuaded that this isn't simply an issue about getting high. It's about practicing a safe, non-addictive ritual that aids in relaxation and meditative thought...and NOT something that convinces people that it's a good idea to dress like the Grinch and strap on a dildole. C'mon, potheads, we need you guys to CHILL OUT!

Well, chalk one up for bobby Martin. Let's hope people keep in mind that it's been a long time coming and there is resentment on both sides.

If your thinking of straping on a dildo to show your support, don't.

That's their put down word for it. I'm a head, not a pothead, and if this country had a lot more heads and a lot less alcohol lovers, it would be a helluva lot more peaceful country, at home and abroad. Many thousands of people would no longer die or be maimed each year, in alcohol related disasters.
Most regular cannabis users (at least adults) are not doing anything that compromises the legalization movement, your post kind of makes it sound like you think we're all a problem.
I don't think this guy's stunt did any significant damage, but I could be wrong about that.

Compare with what you expect from an alcohol lover when they malfunction.
We can live with what he did, all it did was hurt his cause a bit and offend some people's feelings, we can't live with what alcohol abusers do to innocent people in horrifying numbers. THAT'S where zero tolerance is needed.

I try not to use the term pothead, it's rather derogatory, and implies that the user is addicted, or incapable of choosing not to smoke (which, for 10% of heavy users, could be an indication of dependence).

Personally, I prefer the term Cannabis Aficionado.

Accurate, it also implies some sense of expectation of quality. Such as, "Most cannabis aficionados do not want ditch weed, they prefer the subtle strains of Sour Diesel, or Acapulco Gold."

It also implies we CHOOSE to smoke quality reefer, not that we WILL smoke anything we can get our hands on.

The 'War on Drugs' doesn't recognize the difference between cannabis USE, and cannabis ABUSE, asserting that any use is by definition, abuse.

If we try the same thing with alcohol, you will see a number of major manufacturers standing up for themselves, and the ability of their consumers to make CHOICES. CHOICES that we are prohibited from exercising.

What a fucking moron.

Throw him over to the other side, sounds like a huge liability if he didn't understand the gravity of what he was doing.

that Sour Diesel is the name of a high quality strain of weed.

So glad you are the voice of the medical marijuana movement, Scott. Who else would be able to tell me what behavior is appropriate for the cause?

Most so-called pot heads do loads of other drugs, pot being the only thing they use daily. Maybe it's different there, but in Canada every construction site/commercial kitchen/industrial warehouse I've ever worked on has had more pot smokers than nonsmokers, and they're daily users, many heavier users than most "potheads". Most "potheads" are also doing ecstacy/shrooms/salvia/acid/whatever on at least a weekly basis, sometimes combinations, usually with alcohol. Doing hallucinogens and/or chemical drugs, including large amounts of alcohol, every weekend when you're a teenager is going to do more long term damage than smoking pot every day. But since pot is the only thing they do daily, and the other drugs are used cyclically, often so that no individual non-pot drug is used more than once a month, they might actually believe the other drugs aren't having as much of an effect.
