Ill be honest, they have done some things recently. Tommy specifically, but historically they have done nothing more than perpetuate a negative stereotype.
Thats totally false Doctor D. Befor Cheech and Chong weed was looked at as a hardcore drug that lead to rape, murder, and suicide. Pot and heroin were brought up in the same catagories and no one that didnt smoke knew the truth until C&C.
They showed the world that you could smoke weed and not turn into some foaming at the mouth psyco out ta rape and pillage middle america. Those movies showed everyone how foolish and outrageous the war on drugs was and were the first ta take shots at the cops for hassling pot heads.
I get really tired of hearing about this negative stereotype they portrayed of pot heads. Can you imagine if they were two articulate stockbrokers who drank starbucks and smoked ta relive their obsesive compulsive disorder and relax after a hard day of 9-5in it for the man???? IT WOULDVE SUCKED!!!! C&C brought weed to the mainstream and made people realize it wasnt a hard drug that ruined lives and killed little kids.
This is a little off topic but Im gettin really scarred watching where this whole medical movement is headed. I mean I am 100% for medical pot but its like everybody has ta have a medical reason ta smoke now and its wrong ta just smoke cause they like ta get stoned. It seems like some people are starting ta act like theyre better than people that just wanna get high. I feel like were heading in the direction of seperating into conflicting groups of medical and non medical smokers. I can see it now... the med guys hate the non meds cause they make them look like theyre faking an ailment to get high legally and make them look like common low down stoners. Then the non med guys hate the med guys cause they dont have ta worry about gettin busted and they look down on non med guys because theyre "abusing a legitiment medicine."
I dont know maybe Im crazy but I swear Ive been feeling like this is already starting ta happen somewhat, what yall think anybody feel me on this one?????
One thing I do know is the govt is really good a splitting us up into 2 groups so we argue amongst eachother instead of working together ta fix it. Think about, black and white, rich and poor, young and old, democrat and republican, on and on and on! If we really wanna win this war we gotta stick together medical or not!
Damn sorry diarreah of the mouth! I just get pissed off at how fucked up the world is and start ta go off! Sometimes ya gotta vent right?????
