He had to laugh at that because the misconception that stoners were all idiots was a big one. Yeah some of them were and yeah sometimes he was but even his stoner friends weren't that bad. Maybe a couple.. he laughed even harder for a moment.
"Rose, in high school all stoners are dumb as fuck. Not all of them are that way when they're my age. It's like.. okay drinking when you're a teen or in college you're stupid about it. You drink until you can't do anything but throw up and then you keep drinking because you're young and invincible but eventually you hit that age where you realize you can drink, get a buzz, and have fun without throwing up every time. It's learning to control the substance and not letting it control you. I don't need to get high to have a good time but it's nice to be able to relax when I want to, you know? And yeah it's illegal but it may not be much longer, who knows? It's not like I'm carrying any on me right now... I just do it in the privacy of my own home."
