y the fuck do ppl get so "hung-up" about dreadlocks????

[mean mr.mustard]

He was a vocal proponent for cannabis, and he had dreadlocks.

What part of our story in what light in particular did he get wrong?

Perhaps you missed the word "typically" in my post.

 

[funkfingers]

Appearances are just that..if you base someone on there manner of dress or style, what does that say about you??

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I just see a similarity in using the word "typical" and not liking someone based on appearance.

Stereotyping isn't going to legalize cannabis.

Neither is a baseless argument on an internet forum, my friend.

With all due respect, if you're so terribly concerned about the movement, shouldn't you be out working to change some of these apparent misconceptions and break through the stereotypes instead of playing couch commando over the internet?

Well I figured confronting narrowminded influencers on the internet was a good use of my downtime.

Shall I be off to save the world again?

ah yes, there it is, I was wondering when the mudslinging would come into play. My apologies for my narrow-mindedness...I'll make sure not to voice any opinions contrary to your own in the future so as not to upset your delicate sensibilities.

Or you could accept people as people and not roadblocks.

Have you considered going into politics? Your ability to utterly derail a discussion and use doublespeak and glittering generalities to deflect is really quite outstanding.

Humans are naturally mistrustful of other humans, especially if they are different. It goes way back to our beginnings.

It's tribal. It's based in part in fear. That's why people gravitate towards people they feel are "like" them. They feel comfortable around their own "kind" and distrust those that are not.

Some people can get beyond that, some can't.

I haven't walked a mile in your shoes, so I can't say I know how you feel. But I do know how it feels to be ostracized and treated like an outsider.

Some people just suck. Some of us ain't so bad once you get to know us.

I really like this. I have to say that a lot of people have been mistreated, gone through a lot of injustices... so that adds a lot of mistrust...

plus looking at all the injustices humans do onto each other.. that adds mistrust too, you dont have to have lived bad experiences to fear it, just be a witness to it..


as for JD48o3....

id really like to know...
why dont you become a vocal activist

maybe the people that you see doing it... arent what youd see as perfect image... but at least they are trying...

I don't see how I've derailed anything.

But no, I care where my paycheck comes from.

I would like to restate my point that anyone who stands up and admits growing and smoking from any perspective, especially a very public one, is a positive benefit to our movement.

Would you like to restate your point?

yah ive had a dread thread here and there on here, but sometimes shit ppl say just erks me.

my wife and 5 month old son are visiting the grandparents in tx today, and my wife has 1 dread in her hair, and i haven't cut or combed my hair in 6 months..i have had dreads over half my life.

we prolly won't be cutting hunters hair, and if he wants dreads or not is his business.

but my parents give her shit about what dreads represent and how they are soooo bad.

my mom spends a few hundred buks a month to get her hair did, and yah it always looks "nice", (not my taste tho)...but i dont give her shit about it.

.....why the fuck do ppl need to judge other ppl so harshly on such a meaningless issue?

dreads are the only hairstyle that i personally like...i don't care what anyone does w/ their own hair..... and i like how they spit non-conformity... but really it's just fukin hair.


off rant

. chill. -part of life. love the vids mann

 

[Stoner4Life]

so here's one take on this.

you're @ the local Starbucks yacking on your phone with your checkbook tucked under your arm, everyone including the cashier is waiting for you to pay & get out of the way. I shoot you a dirty look for being oblivious to wasting everybody's time, you in turn choose to interpret the look as disdain for your dreds because after all it's always about you and those silly dreds.......

seriously?

 

[longearedfriend]

LOL he got you there

I think he meant as in... a famous person\public figure

hey btw MMMustard, is that you on your avatar

 

[mean mr.mustard]

seriously?

Considering the circumstances I'd have to say these tweakers wouldn't help, but many with dreads could.... unless they came across somebody that can call people trash... even a fellow grower.

Even John Lennon fits into your category of trash.

Bob Marley probably does too... and anybody with dreads might from what I've seen.

I'm sincerely glad that you and others have shown me what people can really feel like.... just don't expect me to consider people trash or excuse the behavior in the least.

I see a troubled tweaker in that pic.

What do you see?

I always wanted dreads, but short is so easy.

what about the rippers who beat that poor man to death in OR?

anslinger was trash fo sho!

as for hair..
the only haircut that would make one trash is this one

 

[mean mr.mustard]

You're dodging the question

But I was already certain you think he's trash.

I find it fascinating that you can judge people with such ease.

You amaze even me dag.

Lennon and Himmler in the same pit.

I bet St. Peter gives you his book when you show up.
