Today:
"Hey longhaired fellow, you got any weed?"
"No"
"D***. I can't find any weed around here"
The guy asking me if I had weed was shorthaired and had a neatly trimmed beard. I really don't have any weed, but if I did, what kind of an idiot says "yes" to a perfect stranger 2 blocks from the court-house anyway?
No doubt. Man I hate that, maybe you should have sold him some oregano or something. He sounds dumb enough. hehe.

Dont you just love it haha we longhairs have to be one of threee things because of our hair:
1.Be a rock musician
2.Do Drugs
3.Not take care of ourselves
The amount of ignorance is crazy!
Don't forget snowboarders! Last time I went skiing a number of people had this assumption that I board. Nope, regular skiier only!
You forgot 4: biker (which I am, but the assumption is still far-fetched)
and 5: Satan worshiper - I still don't understand that one, but I've gotten it several times.
Or if your a teen such as myself its considered a "stupid trend"
Yet another example of how some people are influenced by what they perceive a fellow with long hair does. I too have been approached by idiot strangers who have asked me the same question too. LOL.
"Hey longhaired fellow, you got any weed?"
"No, I don't, you semi-literate tard!"
Other day at work was having a um "my neural net pathways disentigrated" moment to which the customer replied, "well you know how you hippies are always high on dope"
Good point Steve, those days for me are so long ago now I would not even have thought of that. Now some of my friends and I trade southeast Asian coffees in zip lock bags, all of it looking faintly illegal and we laugh about that.

but if I did, what kind of an idiot says "yes" to a perfect stranger 2 blocks from the court-house anyway?
The same kind of idiot who asked the question in the first place
Once I was asked by a guy on the street whether I had just gotten out of jail and needed some dope...

Far better than that is when strangers offer to share THEIR weed. Hey, this goes both ways! I don't smoke so I have to turn them down, but as they say, "It's the thought that counts," and people who want to give you weed definitely think you're cool.

Huh.
All that ever happens to me is that people ask if I'm a vegetarian. Maybe it's my age.
Hey Steve,
Great story -- and yes, I get those kind of stupid questions from time-to-time, too. I think the next time some idiot asks me that question, I'm gonna reach down and pluck up the nearest dandelion I can find.
"Here you go!", I'll say with as clueless and "innocent" a smile as I can manage, "this kind is both FREE and also LEGAL... Have a nice day!!"

Hey man got a joint?!!
Hey I get this all the time.
I don't smoke, so it gets quite annoying when I get stereotyped like that.
