funny,
to me nothing is more Hippy, or Buffet than smoking weed,
yet I know some tiki people that hate buffet heads and longhairs,
but smoke weed like there is no tomorrow.
oh the Irony.

I agree, better to be drunk than stoned. Tiki is BAR CULTURE !!

While Tiki is BAR culture.....
I would rather (personally) be able to drive home safely a lil stoned with 1-2 drinks in me
than drive home drunk and loaded with 6-8 drinks in my system....
Plus... you ever been in a Tiki bar after a few puffs?
it's BEAUTIFUL! :) :) :)
All magical with colored lights and mysterious idols in corners
and the BEST part is we can remember it all...
While you girlie drink drunk folks slur and mumble incoherently
we stoners can remember details AND conversations from the night before

and please....don't stereotype stoners as Buffetheads and longhairs..

A few of us stoners have dayjobs that far outrank your paychecks....
and some of us produce art,music,and visual delights for the Tiki community
Which is more than i can say about a majority of the regular alcohol-infused Tiki crowd
who just attend and drink and (in my opinion) participate in pointless conversations
of no merit besides the fact that,in their stupors,they find themselves amusing...
One HAS to be stoned to be able to tolerate the drunken blather i hear at these events!
Half of you can't tell the difference between a Ku and a Lono....but we stoners can! :)
Have you ever tried to explain a Papua new Guinea Spirit Hook to a drunk?!?
it ain't easy and oft=times fruitless.... :)
There are more of us than you think in this Tiki Community,so play nice
and enjoy the fruits of our labors of love for this culture and its Ohana... :)
Mahalo for your time.... :)

an unsterotypical stoner who loves Tiki

Now back to our regular program....
