This is the graffiti that greeted me as I entered a men’s room stall in DFW airport. Stuff like this makes me curious. Who’s the author? A drug dealer? An avid smoker who just wants company? (The equivalent of me telling people “you should try hold’em, it’s great.”)
Who does he think he’ll reach with this message? People looking for a hobby? Weekend smokers that never thought about switching to daily? I can’t picture the audience, so it seems like wasted market effort.
The other interesting thing is that it’s pot driving the message. There are usually only two schools of thought on where pot fits in the drug spectrum; It’s either a “gateway drug” to harder drugs like heroin, or it’s in the same class as alcohol or cigarettes. Now, when was the last time someone said to you (verbally, or through graffiti) “drink alcohol daily”? (Ok, Phillip Morris probably has said “Smoke Cigarettes Daily”, I’ll give you that.) And, heroin addicts don’t run around telling people “shoot smack every day”, do they?
These are the sort of differences in people that fascinate me.
