Why do conservatives always assume liberals are potheads? As a survey, how many of you liberals are potheads?

Question

And, how many of you have been stereotyped this way before? Personally, I'm tired of it.

I mean, I'm not a pothead. I've smoked before, but not in years. I seem to know only one person who is, and he is liberal, it's true. But it seems like I know a great many liberals, and none of them smoke pot. And I live in CA!

Is this just how conservatives dismiss our ideas? That's the logical fallacy, ad hominem, in which one attacks the arguer, not the argument. Conservatives go to school, too, but I hear this sort of thing from them a great deal.

Answer 1

I tried it... but I don't like "smoking" things...

I'm more of a drinker... alcohols more my speed...but I've not even done much of that in a long time...hahaha

this is yet another example of "Conservatives don't care if it's true, they will say anything they can to get an advantage"

go around and really ask them about Obama... after you get the initial "he's a communist Muslim" reaction...

ask them "why do you think that?"...

most will say something like "it's been in the news".... ask them "where?"...

about that time about 60 percent will call you an American-hating commie and run away...

30 percent will cite some rediculous cite like Newsmax...

and about 10 percent will calm down... and talk about his policy and how it's just not what they agree with... but as they speak, you can clearly tell that they know he's not a communist and just a democrat with different politics...

Answer 2

I believe it is an association issue - hippies=liberals=pot.

Answer 3

They are just closet pot heads...but there drug of choice is booze...oh...and p**n...ya see all that so called church goin is just for Sunday's....Monday through saturday is a different story.

Answer 4

i don't like to share my pot. so i guess i'm conservative.

Answer 5

I'm a liberal, and Ive never taken any drugs of any kind, but I still think they should be legal...so the potheads can smoke pot all day and kill themselves if they so wish

Answer 6

I'm a very proud liberal democrat and I have never even tried pot. Been around people who were high and all they did was get lazy and eat. No appeal.

Answer 7

It is part of the indoctrination process. You know that.  

Answer 8

more liberals are potheads than conservative..pot is not allowed in churches..as were in college dorms...well..smell the smoke!

Answer 9

Never smoked pot in my life. Never intend to.

Answer 10

Being conservative calls for being mean,closed minded and hating anyone or anything they disagree with . This includes conservative potheads and drug junkie criminal like Rush Limbaugh and closet homos like Larry Craig. They are the worse of hypocrites.

BTW, there's no difference between conservatives and liberals regarding drug use.

Answer 11

Never have, never will. My 90% republican town probably supports 1/2 the dope dealers here. Alcohol is the most dangerous drug there is and shoild be illegal.I support legalizing weed only.

Answer 12

I prefer Peruvian flake!
