You sure have seen this logo somewhere in the street. It's on people's t-shirts, cars, etc. What the heck is so special about the Marijuana!? Is it a campaign sponsered by the drug dealers here in Egypt!? Are all the Egyptians high now a days!?

I suppose some people think it's cool to wear it. Not that I'm against it.
ReplyDeleteBesides, there ARE lots of people that do drugs nowadays.
I think it's more like that alot of people think it's cool and want to copy western rock stars etc.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that all those wearing this kinda thing actually do drugs and those that do probably would not be so stupid as to wear such a thing in public.
Also I met a heck of alot of people who haven't actually known what it meant :-)
Just a first step to freedom of expression, which alot of people in your country are intimidated of.
ReplyDelete@Faisal, I am not against wearing it, the point is like Arima said, many of them don't actually known what does it mean. It's like Gamal Abdel Hamid the Egyptian - Muslim - football player who used to draw a cross after scoring a goal, just because he didn't know its meaning.
ReplyDelete@Arima, I am with you, people think it's cool and want to copy western rock stars etc. Which is not a bad thing, but when they at least know what does it mean.
@Skyler, Do you think this has anything to do with freedom of expression !?
"Weed" in Egypt?? Gasp! :)
ReplyDeleteI do think you're right, though, Tarek. People should know what they're wearing.
You remind of of an story that involves naive me and a T-shirt when I was at the university. When a streetwise friend told me what the message meant, I was soooo embarrassed! I never wore the shirt again!!

ReplyDeleteAnswer: It's cheaper than hash.
The 420 logo is a popular one among pot heads out here. Not everyone wears those t-shirts unless they are 1)buddha heads or 2) advocating the legalization of weed.
