Some truly embarrassing shit has somehow attached itself to weed over the years, and it’s gotta stop. In an effort to do our part in purging the lame things that have come to be associated with weed, the Noisey staff has put together a list of what we’d like to see end immediately. We’re not saying these things are all inherently bad, per se. What we’re saying is that we’d like to separate them from weed culture forever. So, please, let’s allow the following weed clichés die a swift and painful death…
