Typical stoner? Since I came into the underground of marijuana the stereotypes that I had of a stoner have been blown out of the water. I have smoked with people of all kinds. From straight A students to complete idiots. With people whom I would have never EVER in my wildest dreams thought to have any knowledge about marijuana, let alone actually smoke with them. Peer pressure seems to be an angle that parents and other adult figures take when talking about marijuana (or any drug) to their kids or whoever but in reality "stoners" are the most accepting and most helpful at advocating other people. When I first arrived at Western I was lost, didn't have a clue who I was as a person, and didn't have any local friends who could be of any help. The first group I was welcomed into was the stoners. I have never felt more welcomed and more accepted for who I am than when I'm with my friends. (I never smoked nor drank when I was in high school.) I didn't realize the group I had been so welcomed into were the stoners until I went on a hiking trip and was offered some marijuana. I refused and they were perfectly okay with it. I was positive that I was about to experience what my physical education teachers and other school officials had warned me about. Here came the peer pressure. But no one spoke of it and no one asked again that day.
