I wonder if his grandmother was diabetic? What does that even have to do with the man? It is just as close minded to judge a man because he can afford his next meal as it is if he was black or supported Collingwood. Tall Poppy Syndrome is an embarrassment and only highlights ignorance. Queen Victoria was probably one of the first Western pot smokers, I'm sure you are quite happy to stick the boot into her despite her paving the way for you to have a bong this morning.
If you are going to put words in my mouth, you could at least stick to the topic at hand.
Western contact with cannabis goes back to the crusades and napoleonic wars. the first western pot smokers were more likely to be footsoldiers in imperialist battles. Just the simple folk that are barely worth a mention in the history books.
Your royal example is typical of your worldview - and thats fine - but I have not smoked any cannabis this morning. The last time I had a bong? Years ago, mate. Like you, I vape my weed nowadays, and only when I'm in the mood. If you want to accuse people of being rudderless stoners, perhaps you could troll CD or something.
I
did have a nice cup of pod tea this morning - if that's what you mean by tall poppy syndrome, I confess. You got me there Busty.
I'm of the belief that there are far more important things in life than money, status and material wealth.
The richness in my life has nothing to do with my bank balance, my profession or material possessions.
If you're going to call me judgmental, you are either stirring or you have a poor grasp on the irony of making such a claim in a post loaded with value judgements.
If you enjoy the finer things in life, have a sense of wealth being a pay off for hard work and expensive taste - that's entirely your prerogative - but theres no need to be so defensive about your class. Personally I don't give a damn who you are or what you do, I'm more interested in how you contribute to this forum.
If you want to look down your nose at people, you just come off looking like a Wally.
