What's the deal with rap and weed?

[scarlxrd]

It's not but it's no longer part of the lifetstyle.

Sex is part of the lifestyle. Weed is forced, like yo that's whats up, u smoke. Cool. WHy do I need to see 1000 visuals of you smoking.

You think it makes you look cool in an industry where everyone smokes?

Thats the problem, the labeling of these ideas with black culture. White people smoke weed too, but it's not as presented.

If you look at media, black people don't consume beer or tequila or whiskey or cocaine, we consume blunts, molly, and Hennessy

I think you already know what the business is. I feel like the weed agenda has been ramped up with the legalization because that's where the money's going to be. If I'm not mistaken, the same type of push happened back in the day with cigarettes and Jazz.

Why do you think? The same reason there is a liquor store on every corner: they want us to kill ourselves. *Furious*

did an adult seriously make this thread?



The counter-culture aesthetic(as in relation to the norm) has always been a part of most artistic movements.





You fukking square

White executives promoting drugs
If you smoke weed you lost.

Word.
Smoking weed is a little weed is not bad
,but rappers are constantly promoting a 24/7 chain-smoking loud lifestyle. Thats NOT productive. Not to mention, these new strains have way too much THC...They bred out all of the cbd, that helps balance out the thc. Indoor weed isn't natural. Weed is a herb that needs that natural sunlight to touch it.
Natural weed>>>Monsanto bred/govt endorsed "mmj."

You fukking square

Lmao. You're right I'm a square. foh.

You have the brain power of a 5th grader congrats. Obviously it's counter-culture, that doesn't explain why it's so prevalent in an age when it is pop culture.

Weed is pop culture all around. Just like the turn up culture is pop culture.

However, that does not mean the turn up culture or weed cultuure should be without competetion. There should always be balance.

In a group of 10, 3 should likely feel strongly in a negative sense, 3 should feel strongl in a positive sense, and 4 should be *shrug* status and not really feel any type of way about either.

Nowadays its like 95% one direction and 5% who want to speak on it but quietly.

It's to the point where even you feel smoking makes you not a square lol. That's hilarious You just a square who smokes..

I'm cool with the greenery. But thats my point exactly, the kids growing up see these things and it cements as their norm and what they grew up with.

Smoking weed is nothing to these kids. When I grew up in the 90s, weed was weed and it was a bigger deal and much weaker.

They had DARE and ish controlling minds. Some of the biggest smokers I knew, when I was heavy into smoking were actually the ones tellin gme smoking is bad and not good and shouldnt do it.

Our people need real education, not polarizing extremes.

Nikka I smoke. I just got off 18 months probation for a possession charge.

I still don't support pushing the agenda. If you smoke, then you smoke.

Word,

We talking about extremes...A 24/7 chain smoking with 35% thc weed or 55% thc wax will have your ass like wiz khalifa: purple dreds, posing nakkid in showers, and wifing industry thots. These n1ggas basically don't ever come down...

Weed isn't meant to be this strong/altered. Its ruining these lil n1ggas minds. We knew that this would start to happen once the legalization and commericial push began.

If you had a choice, would you eat a tomato growing inside a lab or outside naturally? Rap music basically made n1ggas scorn natural weed.

Yeah because Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson never smoked a joint.
The Beatles didn't drop acid.
The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Velvet Underground weren't on heroin.
Aerosmith wasn't on cocaine.



Hold this 1 star, tho.

You do kind of got a point. Drugs have been apart of music for a long time. I remember watching an interview were Gary Bartz said a lot of the Jazz greats use to do a lot of drugs to deal with the stress that comes with being a musician.

I don't smoke or necessarily advocate smoking, I don't believe our lungs were made to ingest burnt plant matter.

Your assumptions got you slipping


I don't know you, I'm only judging you based on how you type. No offense intended; you sound not unlike a cornball, and unwittingly indoctrinated to said condition.



there's absolutely no problems being square... We should all strive to be ourselves


As always, purify yourself in the waters of Lake Menentonka
