    King Arthur, I think being hippy is somone who is obese, at least around the butt.
    Can we assume that you are a sober hippie instead?

    Are there any potheads who are not hippies? If so, that means that pot is not guaranteed to make you a free spirit. There may be something else going on to keep them in bondage.

    I am not saying that pot did not help some people break out of linear thought, to escape pre-programmed lives, but I see evidence that there is more than one way to achieve the freedom that we all see as a worthy goal.

    Frankly after years of well-intended rearing by our parents, 24/7 mass marketing from television and now the Internet, peer pressure in school and the jackass Nazi bosses most of us become enslaved to in the working world, it is a wonder any of us escape the mind control.

    Correct me if I am wrong but if you get a redneck conservative stoned, it just makes a worse SOB out of him.

    Oh, can I ever correct you on this one... or at least in one case (I make no claims that this would hold true for all)...

    My mother has a 'friend' who at best could be considered a conservative redneck... although he has mellowed a bit in the last few years...

    I rarely get along with him... Yet, when he smokes weed, he turns into the funniest comedian you will ever see... One steady stream of jokes until he comes back down...

    The first thing I do when I see him these days is pull out a joint... makes life so much easier... lol

    Then we may need to have a litmus test for legalizing pot:
    If you mellow out, you get a toking license.

    If you become an SOB, no more doobies for you!!!

    I don't smoke pot but have eaten a couple brownies in my time. It isn't always enjoyable so I don't do it all the time or anything(barfing you guts out while trying to get you head in the trash can that you can't really see is a real drag!) BUT I have
    no problem with people who do smoke. The tokers I know range the gamut from cool
    mellow hippie sorts, cranky in denial crack whores (ok she isn't a whore just a total bitch), and conservative Baptist ladies.
    It takes all sorts...
    peace

    Long time sober hippy (I can spell it how I want to, it is a media word, anyway) here.
    I can't smoke, had access to goodies under medical laws in CO., don't drink and gave up the inner-space exploration.
    Never liked go-fast chems, and had my burn with go-slow chems.

    To answer the OP, yes, Virginia, there are sober hippies.
    As mentioned, WarfRats, a Grateful dead tour based AA/NA sort of thing, and Cheese has Jellyfish, and Panic had one with their own name. I find them mellow, decent folk and I have some good friends involved.
    As for Rainbow, the only real problem I had was with A-Camp, but I just don't work well with alcohol energy, especially out of control drunk energy. My humour seems to abandon me.

    I do find lots of non smokers/non drinkers (or very very light users) who are more into psychedelics.
    But there are more straight-edge sorts.

    Anyhow, the connection is probably more making your own rules/breaking the rules than "you must be a head to get this."

    ^^Sound Tribe Sector Nine are also very outspoken straight edgers. I hear what you are talking about with drunk energy. I used to work as a Bar tender and figured out I can't deal with drunks when I am sober.

    ^^ yep.
    I sold band merch for many years, and went on to moonlight in concert production. Drunks suck when you are sober. Especially if they are horny guys.
    Or was that a repetitive redundancy?

    I recall being in a restaurant with some members of STS9 (around 2002-2004) and having them talk about being vegan, then ordering sushi for the "protein buzz."
    That makes me question if they live straight-edge, or if it is their goal.

    i could be wrong, but generally i think our conservative rednecks are worse than yours

    yours don't have all that civil war crap to worry about, if nothing else . . .

    oh, topic, last time i smoked pot with an olde tyme hippie all he could talk about was cops and crappy jobs, and he dated everything that had happened to him recently by how many years it had been since jerry died

    Oh that has to be the worst. When you are the one serving them and they start getting abusive then it really gets nasty.

    STS9 has recorded in the studio where I intern. I know a couple of engineers that work with them. I guess they do the non drinking, non drugging thing. They absolutely hated the neighborhood where the studio was at (come to think of it I'm not a big fan either).

    I wish I lived in the 60s. It would be fun to be surrounded with happy, loving and caring people!
