I was recently driving with my friend and his dad (old hippie) when his dad said "i think all those ridiculous names like, sour diesel and granddaddy purp are a reason marijuana isn't legal." Maybe not why its illegal but why some of the old republicans in Washington are against it. Do you think this makes any sense? please dont flame me if you think his idea is stupid. I'm just posting it.
Umm yeah honestly that doesn't make any sense to me. Most people aren't even familiar with those names. The thing that people take the wrong way is the whole potency issue. They spread this propaganda saying "marijuana is stronger than it has ever been". They don't understand that this is in fact a good thing. It just means we have to smoke less to get the high we want. Also, back in the day when they are saying it wasn't as potent, weed was also a lot cheaper. That meant that if they wanted to get really high, they would just smoke a whole bunch of what must've been schwag. But we dont want stronger weed, because that means there is more chance of an overdose... riiiiiigght?
It's just branding and marketing at work...that's all. Even those who are against pot could care less about the names of it. It is like going to the grocery store and buying Lucky Charms because you know its good shit.
names are kinda childish but shit... we have whiskey and martini and other weird names for booze... when weed is legal the store weed will prolly have names like the brands... like Marlboro or w/e
yeaaa I agree. Well maybe not about them being childish so much. But they will def give weed all kinda of differnt names when it is legal. I could be wrong, but they didn't have too many named bud back in the day...did they???
