1. The group has a common character and a common culture.... can I say hippie
2. ...people growing up among members of the group will acquire the group culture, will be marked by its character... ever meet a girl named rain?
3. Membership of the group is, in part, a matter of mutual recognition..... it might just be the smell but take me about 20 seconds to pick up a fellow free spirit
4. ...groups membership of which is one of the primary clues for people generally in interpreting the conduct of others... what is that other person standing in the showdows in the middle of a frezing night doing smoking somthing outside ? oh, same as me. -
5. Membership is a matter of belonging, not of achievement.... this one is just too obvious, if there is one group not marked by achievment it would be the potheads.
6. The groups concerned are not small face-to-face groups, members of which are generally known to all other members. They are anonymous groups where where mutual recognition is secured by the possession of general characteristics.... "stash" nag chanka - dredlocks - the list can go on

Not only does the smoking culture in california make up a unconected deversifeid group. It is a group that is suffering some of the worst oppresion the right wing government can deal out. Along with unconstatuinal drug screening to provent employment, they are locked up for non violnet crimes. Crimes that they defy on basic principles of moraltiy. Some feel that they have to hide and fear jail, theft of thier personal property, and all from our federal govenrment. Who fails to respect the wishes of what should be a self governing state. The people have spoken the government has not listend.

The industrail hemp prospects could reshape our economy help mantain our farms and the medical posibilities could complety restructure our health care.
