Confused Young Hippy Born Too Late

Hello, My name is Eric, I live in a very small town in northern Alabama. I have always been a very bright kid and always asked the question no one else did or would. Now I know not all Hippies smoke pot, but for me I think that may be where my journy began. I started smoking pot at a young age. I was around 12 or so. At first I only did it every now and then but over the years as i have grown older and met more and more people I have began doing it more and more. Now to tell the truth I don't really know if the way I am is because of the pot or if its just the way I am. To tell the truth I think that I am the way I am, it was part of me to start smoking pot and therefore I am the way I am beacause its what was ment to be. I never get mad the the people I am around, I don't know why but I don't seem to ever get mad. The people i hang around are all ok people, but they just aren't who I feel at home with, I have moved around with different circles of friends over the years but I really never feel like im in place with them you know? Im now 18 years old about to move out of my house in a few weeks and go out on my own to goto college in a different state. My parents are always on my ass and never leave me be. The thing that aggitates me most in this world are people who just try to make everyone else be like them instead of letting that person make choices themselves as human being. This place that I live in with all its stupid laws and stupid rules. WHO cares if I want to smoke pot, hell not like im making a poison gas that is going to kill people around me. All I want in this life is to just settle down in a nice house with some friends, true friends, who are of like mind and want to experiment with the different modes of consciousness. I just want people to leave me alone and stop yelling at me when I make mistakes, and the ones doing the yelling should have been doing it their damn selves. I believe in karama I guess because I always try to tell the truth and just let people have things I mean whats mine is yours you know? I can always get more, why be stingey? Anyway what I am getting at is, I feel lost, I don't know what to do. Im a chicken in a wolves den.
I have been reading on here what older people have to say about my generation. But what people don't understand THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HIPPIES. or at least what we call hippies, sometimes less sometimes more. its all a big cycle but if you get down and talk to people and meet people you will see that the hippies are coming back, we may not call them hippies this time and they may not look like hippies to you, but we have different music, different technology, hell times and people are different. But one thing is the same, one person is not dumb but a room full might as well be retarted. We as a whole still do not know how to work together. People still think that your better off in life because you have lots of money or because you have a large house or know the right people. Really the ones that have the best life are the ones who know not to waste time worring over that shit that won't even matter in the end and learned to make do whith what comes there way and just be happy man. So in summation what I am saying is there will always be those people who are just trying to be mainstream and do whatevery one else is doing, and then there will be us who are smart enough or maybe its not really smarts but just the ability to ask questions first then do later. Those of us who yes we use the things that our parents may give us or live even in bigger houses, but not because we want it, we just simply take things as they are. If everyone would just learn to accept duh we are different. If everyone was like everone else we would have a shitload of problems, If everyone was just like me we would have a shitload of problems, just everyone would get over it and still be happy.
