Funny Weed T-Shirts Catch My Political Rivals Off-Guard

By Roger Cann


I am a super proponent of the legalization and the decriminalization of the cannabis plant in my home state. I work day in and day out organizing efforts, writing emails, and maintaining a website dedicated to political efforts towards legalization. What really confuses both my friends and my political enemies, is that I go to great pains to keep my appearance that of your standard, couch-surfing pot smoker...even though I refuse to use cannabis until it is finally legal. I have the dreadlocks, funny weed t-shirts, and everything.
There are critics of mine who say that my appearance is a bit too much like that of a degenerate pot smoker for me to have any kind of impact politically when I wear my funny weed t-shirts. They believe that if I want to be taken seriously about this very serious subject, then I should conduct myself with a bit more professionalism. Basically, if I look like a failure then I must be a failure.

What my critics may not realize, is that the way I look and the way I act in my funny weed t-shirts is all part of a master plan. I really want people to think that I'm an idiot and a failure. When I come back at them with a sharpness of wit and a glibness of tongue, it gives me the advantage in a political debate because my opponent is immediately taken off guard.

Comedy, in my humble opinion, is a potent weapon...especially amongst today's youth. I know for a fact that I will not have the vote of your average 55 year old white male when it comes to marijuana legislation. I can, however, begin to sway the next generation of voters and have the generation after that hard-line cannabis supporters. If my funny weed t-shirts and laid-back appearance helps drop someone's guard enough to engage me in an open-minded discussion, then I have succeeded by another small increment.

Another great thing that my funny weed t-shirts do for me, is it leaves a lasting impression. Most people who wear these shirts will only wear them around their friends who are

Another great thing that my funny weed t-shirts do for me, is it leaves a lasting impression. Most people who wear these shirts will only wear them around their friends who are also into using cannabis. It takes a special person to wear them to, say, the grocery store. I like to think that I have that kind of courage. When your everyday, normal person sees someone wearing a pot shirt they will remember it. When marijuana becomes a household word, we will have won the war.
