    Ok, It is seriously starting to get on my nerves when people walk up to me and say "Hey dude, sick dreads, where's the weed at?"



    It's like dude. Seriously? I have no idea who you are, I don't know your name, I don't know what you want, and you want to know if I have weed? If you think I have put this much time and effort into letting go of the western obsession with aesceticism to get asked if I have any weed from you, please throw yourself off a bridge somewhere around highway 35.


    Do you guys get that? How frustrating it can be? To be trying to live a pure and simple lifestyle, wearing the flag on my head as a salute to that, and getting asked if I have drugs?


    Damn. Tonight was the second night in a row that someone stopped me in a gas station and started bothering me about it.
    I know I'm tough enough to stand the trial, and that it comes with the territory, but seriously...

    And to all the dreadheads that think dreads are just an excuse to sit around and smoke pot and eat McDonalds all day... please cut your hair.


    - Thanks for listening, I really don't hope to be offending anyone with any of this, I just think it's something that us dread folk can all relate to once in a while.

    Can't figure out what you are going on about?

    Of course a dread-head and weed are in the same box ... live with it, and if you can't beat 'em join 'em

    I would not let that bother you too much. People just like to be in on things.

    Glen = Rubeus Hagrid

    Thus, everyone is too afraid to ask for weed.

    I get bugged for weed anytime my hair is longer than a buzz cut, where I live.... I don't really mind, just say no if you don't feel comfortable with them... They can turn out to be valuable drug resources and good friends.

    You should cut your dreads instead and stop whining, to be honest. You're no better than the potheads, infact you're probably more likely to be a laughing stock to society than any pot head.

    You're all "I want to live a pure and simple lifestyle" yet you come to the INTERNET to whine and hate on dread head potheads. Yeah, you're really living the simple life with your mobile phone and your computer aren't you? You would turn Siddartha down if he gave you unlimited resources for a simple life because you'll be crying "please I can't live without my phone or my computer" and you know this.

    You're white and you wear the "flag on your head", you've never been to the promised land and you were born in the nineties, knowing fuck all about Woodstock. You are the ultimate stereotype and the questions you get, well you've only brought it on yourself.

    Here is a quote, this quote taken from several of your posts


    You have no business starting this thread. Your posts are full of your experiences with drugs and you come across as quite the experienced drug user. How DARE you come on here and show your disgust at people trying to score when you do the EXACT SAME. You are the most pretentious twat I have ever come across.


    GTFO, cut your dreads, and don't come back.

    Why would you get pissed off about that?

    Why not say....I smoked it all, me and my poodle were blowing shotguns and the next thing you know we burned through the whole stash, I made a cocoon out of it for me to sleep in. Any of those would work. Catch those fuckers off guard and the next time you walk away they'll be like that dude with the dreads just fucked my noggin.

    Truth.

    So straighhairs treat you like a stereotype and you don't like that. Then you turn around and hate on dreadheads using the exact same stereotype.

    At least they guys who ask you for weed aren't stereotyping your in a mean way, all they want is to score.

    Now the yuppie asshole customer last week who condescendingly asked me if I was at G20 because of my hair because: he thought he had me all pegged - that was some sucky stereotyping. (If my manager hadn't been in earshot, I would have asked him for some blow and a ride in his beamer)

    Aw man, the second night?! Dude you must be fuming. Two nights in a row! I couldn't cope with that.

    I get called "rasta girl" three or four times a week. It offends me. But fuck, I've gotten used to it. So quit yo' gibbergabber foo'. Quit whining, go smoke some weed and sit around eating mcdonalds all day.

    And hdh, I <3 you

    Dude just don't let it bother you so much, people are just going to ask stupid questions. I have to deal with stupid white kids at school telling me "omg your dreads look like bob marley dreads", when they really don't not at all. .

    Chill man, just ignore the people. Or politely say you don't have any or don't smoke.
    Not that big of a deal of effort.

    Really.....

    I get asked for cigs all the time and I don't smoke. Not the end of the world bud.

    Scenario for yewww

    Stranger: "Hey man, got any chron for sale?"
    Woodstock: "Nah, sorry"
    Stranger: "Cool, thanks"

    I got asked for weed when I didn't have dreads.. It's not a biggie, especially if you have/ do smoke it yourself -___-'
