Interesting thing on interne, look at lower classes portrayal on youtube and see they are all about street fights, getting high, etc........Search out a prep school classroom or even a wealthy middle class high school english class----you wont find many...there is a reason why the very wealthy and upper middle class are ommitted and its by design......

@dukeoforegon I'm sorry, your fucking retarded if you think that marijuana is something that the lower class 'have' and the upper class 'ignores'. Rich people, aka snoop dog smoke weed. Smoking weed has nothing to do with class, you moron. Read up on your Marx; so start with something you'll actually be able to finish, (Communist Manifesto) make sure you understand it, then form your opinions from research and inquiry. Until then stop commenting on things you know little to nothing about.

is the myth of a classless society the same as the meritocracy myth?

Strange thing is Cannabis could have saved Sen. Ted Kennedy's life and shrank his tumor a medicine the lower class have and something the upper class ignores even at its own peril.
