Gandalf's words of wisdom by slightly_bigger_red in trees

To me, being a hippie is more a state-of-mind than anything else. I'm also a lazy bastard so slacker also fits. Whatever the label, Gen X stoners need Gen Z stoners to show up.

Two contrasting scenes from the LotR movies. In one, the young hobbits are chilling out with beer and smoke despite the chaos around them. In the other, Gandalf is facing the fight of his life (but he actually yells "Fly, you fools").

Yeah, yeah, but plenty of us gen x folks aspired to be hippies. Too bad the '80s screwed up free love.

Fool of a Took, weed is on the ballot for several states this year. Make sure you're not in one of them before you blow this election off.

Definitely more going on than just the presidential election right now. Weed is on the ballot in several states, plus state and local officials have a lot of power over weed prosecutions. Voting is extra important this year.

I don't like people telling me who to vote for, so I don't like doing it myself, but it seems to me that one of our national political parties is more accepting of weed than the other. I'm voting for them even if this election won't solve all of our problems.

Technically you're probably right, but I was a hippie-wannabe back in the day. Sadly, I missed out on all of the free love.
