"I'll add to this that I think they use it because they are more open minded and more willing to experiment with newer fads. " Thirty-five years ago I might have agreed with you. That was when pot users were truly looking to find new consciousness. Since then the druggie culture has become very well defined. If you are into it you HAVE TO support all of the left wing issues. Gun control, abortion, gay stuff, etc. Its a very narrow and closed view. I have met a lot of close minded extreme lefty pot smokers since 1970. There is no honest debate, consciousness raising, seeking of any kind. Its simply the other side of the same coin these days. Ram Dass looked at the culture in about 1975 and admitted that it was lost. As he put it to the young people of the time, "you can't turn on and drop-out of something you haven't been a part of". The druggie culture now are just what their role models dreamed they would be...waste oids just like themselves. I have met dozens of young people who have been stoned most of their lives. They never developed academic skills and are just living to get loaded for the sake of being loaded. Crack whore single moms in the making or their counter part in the male population. That is no different than the preppy drunkards who are following the model set by their alcoholic corporate parents.
