I'm not new to the Hipforums. I joined in 2005 and left around 2007. I changed my lifestyle completely from being a teenager who drank and smoked pot weekly to a young adult who has sworn off of any alcohol or drugs of any kind.*I decided to come back because of open-minded people and the community that's felt around here, though when I was a naive 15 year old pothead, I foolishly called myself a "hippie" Now I just call myself a person.
I wasn't here when you were on before, but it's nice to meet you. Sounds like you have had quite a journey.
Fuck labels dude. Get off the whole "hippie" thing. Be you. I smoke pot, i take psychedelic drugs, I see jam bands, I beleive in peace and love, free love, unity, harmony etc... but i dont say Im a hippie. None of that matters. But I will claim Dead Head any day (~);}
