p.s. real cool avatar, way to stick it to the man, smokin weed, cool, real cool
they are actually more popular in europe than they are in 'trendy ass north america.'

as far as the weed smoking goes... i enjoy smoking weed. it has nothing to do with sticking it to the man, it just something i enjoy doing. you making fun of someone for expresing who they are, and making up some bull**** reasoning for it is cool man, real cool. 'the irony of it all'
