dreadlocks vs marajuana
14 September 2005 - 7:03am
so here it is, ive been sporting my dread locks (hence the name Rusta came about) for a good 10 months now and in that time ive had at least a dozen nimrods ask me if i wanted to buy, could sell or knew where to buy marajuana. has anyone else had this kind of experience? i think people have the perception that people with dreadlocks "must" smoke pot. its a very destinctive steriotype! i neva got asked this at all before i had my dreads put in. what do people think? if you saw i guy (or girl) with dreadlocks would you assume they know where to get marajuana? or those climbers like myself who have dreadlocks have you been asked similar questions?

It also depends on said dread locks. If they are random, dirty and scruffy then they look like stoner dreads. Where if they are tight and clean then not. Also there are other factors like facial hair and clothing.
Love bad Dirls from all over the world. ;)

Girty dirls rule though.
Rusta, the people who think you smoke buds just 'cos you have dreads are probably the same narrow minded people who will tell you, you must be crazy because you rockclimb.
They probably live on rugby, racing & beer too. (and wear stubbies.) :)

well it does kind of go with the territory, have you ever thought asbout why people wouldnt ask you to score when your dreaded up and use rustaman as an identity... i'd ask you for drugs anyway! :wink:
the real drug problem is the scarcity and price :twisted:
from a former dreaded one next time someone asks just affect a wise pose close your eyes and smile as you walk away chanting irie irie jah be praised all mighty lion of babylon .... most people are put off by that sort of stuff

But apparently Girtly Dirls don't like dreads hanging in their face.
Hence the tying back of his hair when Rusta goes out…

my dreads are tight and very tidy and i hardly ever have much facial hair but it still happens.
mine are a hit for the "girls" as oppose to the dirls

So the dirls around Greymouth have made you famous? You putting that climbing stamina to other uses? :P That could be a good thing if you persue a career as a porn star I guess

NOOOO!!!!!
Keep the dreads!
Hmmm... or maybe I could make it into a wig and wear it when I'm not at work..... since I'm not allowed to have them.
What if I swap you a haircut for the dreads, Bro? Sound like a deal???

no, no advances from me i have 127 to look after my self as it is
I wouldn't assume that someone with dreads smokes pot, but I do know what you are talking about. I don't have dreads, but quite long hair, and have had similar experiences. Doesn't generally bug me, but half the cops/border patrol that pulled me over wanting to search my car was a bit annoying :roll:
