Dressing like you do drugs

Wanted the shroomery's opinion on this topic. What do you guys think about people who stereotypically look like they do drugs? For as long as I can remember, I liked growing my hair long. I've had long hair since I was 14 although since going to college its gotten considerably longer, touching my shoulders. I'm not one of those dudes who walk around in a drug rug, although I have a long pull over sweater with a hood that has some crazy colors on it. I also have this long black wool hat with a pom-pom on the end that I love wearing in the winter. Despite the fact that I'm happy the way I look, sometimes I feel like its just not such a great idea to go around looking this way anymore. In reality, I'm not a heavy substance user, really only smoke on the weekends. But I've got that hippie look, if ya wanna cool it that, goin on, and I feel like it just gives certain adults and occasionally certain girls a negative impression. Like I said, I'm happy the way I look, I enjoy wearing the clothes I wear, but I don't want people to get the wrong impression. Guess you can't please everybody Anyway, what do you guys think? When you see someone walking around with real long hair, maybe a baja hoodie, possibly some crazy patterned clothing, what kinda impression do you think this gives off?

My girlfriend told me that when she'd first see me at school she'd think to herself "I bet that kid does a lot of drugs." She was right! So I guess I look like a drug user

Youl give off the vibe of a drug user no doubt. You can do this while maintaining class though.
you could keep your hair long, but start wearing button down shirts and sweaters for instance.
Imo you can conform to what society deems classy/serious on the outside while having a non conformist attitude when given the chance.

Yea that's exactly what I do when I need to give off that classy vibe. My hair is at the length where I can tie it back in a small bun and that looks considerably "cleaner", than how it looks down. I'll also where a button down with straight leg trousers. I think this gives me a much more professional look. But I'm talking about on a day to day basis. Eh, I honestly probably should just stop caring what other people think and just be happy with myself. I don't love it when girls get the wrong impression about me, I'm not a lazy dude in the slightest, but who I am kidding, if a girl I meet sort of looks down upon a substance like weed, we're probably not a good match

I will wear weed shirts out to the college bars, parties, and to friends houses, but besides that I don't wear much that would make me stand out as a drug user. If anything, my voice would give it away more.

I feel like it depends what your goals are.
For instance when I was selling drugs, I'd wear shirts that basically advertised my business (Erowid shirt, crazy tie-dyes, shirts with trippy patterns, crazy hats, etc.).
But I know a lot of people that dress that way because looking like a drug user is coming into style. And IME the girls that are attracted to guys that dress in "druggy" attire are more fun to be around than the type that aren't.
But honestly, just be you man, if that's your style then rock it til the wheels fall off.

I have dreadlocks and a tie dye shirt that says "Acid Just Drop It." I also have dark circles under my eyes, my words are usually a lil slurred, and I can be pretty slow at times.

I used to look like I do a lot of drugs, but I changed my look completely after highschool, always have short clean hair, shave more often wear nice/new clothes, quit wearing hemp necklaces. I guess I still give off the drug user vibe hough. When I meet new people they usually realize quickly that I use drugs. But I guess I'm fine with that as long as it's not obvious just from looking at me. I don't want that attention form police.

I try my best not to look like a drug user. I do have longish hair (shoulders), but its straight up like woman hair, not shitty hippie white trash thin long hair, so I look pretty sexual and not like a pothead.

I used to dress like a drug user. Long hair, patchwork clothes, etc. I pretty much just dress like a normal person these days because it makes life more simple and makes it easier for me to connect with the majority of people. I've got some badass tie dyes and GD shirts and stuff still though.

Pretty much 75% of my wardrobe is button up shirts, slacks, nice jeans. I seasonally trim/grow my hair, in the winter its just longer than my ears with a long beard and in the summer i keep it almost shaved with a trimmed beard. I pass most the time as totally straight edge until people really converse with me, then they usually realize theres something a lil druggy bout me lol.

I wear a lot of khakis, button-downs, and sports coats, but that's work. Outside I'm a jeans and t-shirt, maybe a polo, sort of peron. No one really mistakes me for a junkie anymore, because I don't use. The junkie look is more in your actual body than attire. Being skeletal with bags under your eyes from sleep deprivation and the spaced out junkie stare are the real hallmarks.
And fuck hippies, no one likes them anyway.

Yea that's what worries me. Again, I don't wear any really blatant "drug clothing", I don't wear shirts that promote weed use, I don't have dreadlocks, no bob marley shirts. I just like patterns a lot haha and have long hair. I've got this wool icelandic sweater that I love wearing around. But unfortunately, when I dress this way, I honestly feel like it makes life a little bit more complicated. Like instead of someone looking at me and just thinking I'm a normal dude, they start to look more into me because I've clearly got a different style goin on. When I was a freshmen in college I saw this kid who kept looking at me during the orientation. I later ran into this kid like 3 months later at a party and got to talking to him. He literally said to me, "Shit dude, I always thought you were just some stoner drug dude, had no clue you were such a chill smart guy." I've gotten this a few times, and it just makes me feel like I'm doing a disservice dressing the way I do...but I like the way I look, guess that's all that matters in the end

I was just saying the other day to someone if I dressed like I wanted to I would get pulled over all the time. Then I thought it would be cool to do an experiment where I did dress like that and see how often I get pulled over, and then write an article about the results.

Isn't part of the problem assuming people are junkies? Assumptions I guess in general keep people from discovering one another, like fee said...

I used to look like I was constantly smoking PCP, like plastic clothes every day and really furry, beige shoes. I was so pissed off because all of these people thought I was on PCP.
I took off my plastic clothes one day and now I just finished my second sweatshirt made of grocery bags. Yeah, still plastic but I can't get away from the plastic on my skin and I made it myself.

The good thing about Berlin, is you can have long hair and not be tied to being a druggy. However I like clothes that can turn off and on. For instance, my Doc Martins. Pants rolled up a bit, punkrock, pants rolled down, the look like nice dress shoes. However, I will state for the record that I suck at wearing clothes.

I used to have that Shaggy stoner haircut when I was like 16... grew out of it though. You're better off in life if you can look professional when you need to. Short stylish hair is the way to go unless you're some sort of actor or rock star or whatever.

I look like a sterotypical wook, and it has gotten me busted one time. Whatever though, as long as I'm not doing anything serious I'm not going to change my style to avoid getting arrested.

I have hair as long as it can go, I wear band shirts, some tye-dyes and nice dress shirts.
I wear my contempt for the system for all to see and it gets me pulled over, arrested and occasionally ostracized.
I guess I could cut my hair, but I don't feel right without it. If somebody wants to look how society wants them to, that's there perogative, but we only go around once, and I'd rather not spend my time succumbing to a social norm and look how I want to look, regardless of consequences.

I felt that way for a lot of my younger years. I reached a point though where I realized that the integrity of my look wasn't going to change anything, and that I'd much rather be able to connect with people.

I think there's a line that's reasonable. I've been wanting to grow out my hair since way before i did drugs. People thought I was a stoner back in high school when I had so much as been drunk once in my life. "Looking like a drug user" is pretty subjective and sometimes people are going to judge you for your style whether it really has anything to do with drugs or not. What i'm not big on is the full out drug apparel. Like "yo check this drug rug, and my hemp bracelet, and this necklace that has a clock pointing at 420, and this pot leaf on my hat." I mean, to each their own... But I would feel the same way about someone who wore nothing but Corona shirts. It's cool to sport your life style, just don't act like drugs is all you do, even if it is. Unfortunately it makes the stigma worse.

I seem to have the opposite problem as OP... In general, Im a little TOO clean cut to look like someone who uses drugs. There have been several occasions where I would absolutely surprise people when I told them how much I enjoy psychedelics and toking. Thats because I just cant grow my hair out. Because there would be a good year of BAD looking hair. I also just like to look clean cut, I get a lot more comments about looking sexy

I've had a similar problem at festivals and stuff looking clean cut. Wooks like to stick to their own kind.

My dude has long hair, down to his shoulders, wears those stupid half naked girl shirts you'd buy at Zumiez, he says "yooooo and mannnnnn" all the time.
He isn't very smart. He has that look in his eyes like he isn't paying attention to what you're saying. but, he has bomb ass weed.

One thing I've learned is that you cannot judge drug users by the looks of them. I have known some straight up geeky looking kids who drop acid and rolls as well as athletic kids, preppy kids, etc. That's what's so awesome about drugs. Such a unifying force

I dress to NOT look like I do drugs. I don't want people to look at me and tell I'm a druggie, Id rather they figure it out the old fashioned way. By lighting up a J in front of me

I never really 'get'(not saying the people in this thread, just the general "stoners") how people are being non-conformist by dressing the same as every other non-conformist out there. So even though I do believe in not conforming to societies expectations and do enjoy mind altering substances, I don't think the way i dress sticks out at all. T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes, baseball hat is my normal getup when I'm out in public. I enjoy walking around barefoot at home/while working but there are too many things to step on in public, besides that definitely making me stick out.
The other thing that bothers me is when people talk with a certain slowness/stoner talk. I just don't understand how this develops in everyone, maybe its from smoking at a younger age then me (didn't smoke until i was 18, then not regularly until i was in my 20's) or something but in normal everyday life and even when high I talk extremely fast, smile a lot, am full of energy, etc. I like smiling and I think it truly makes a difference for me in my overall fight to stay happy to find things to smile about, and so many people are miserable drones that I just almost feel obligated to remind people to smile, enjoy this moment right now that you are living, etc.

So earlier I mentioned that I had been making clothes out of grocery bags. Well I live with some other guys and I think one of them stole a very nice sweater I made out of yellow grocery bags.
I flipped a gasket and when I get angry I just enjoy laying down and drinking fresh coffee. Well I spilled some coffee on my newish pants I made from clear grocery bags (2 weeks old) and the coffee melted a hole in the pants. I am seriously losing my shit right now, thankfully I wasn't burned but I now have a sweater missing and a large hole in the thigh area of my new pants.

Everyone I've ever met who stood out ended up in some kind of serious trouble by attracting too much attention to themselves. I would imagine that dressing like a drug user would make you stand out so while I think people should dress how they want to dress, it's a fact that society might be more heavy-handed towards them. There should be no bias based on dress sense, it's sad but it happens.
Nobody expects me to toke/trip by the way I look. I kind of look like a kid and often get mistaken for one, a sort of nerdy kid who wears jeans and tshirt and isn't exactly "cool" by the standards of modern pop culture, nor cool by the standards of the stoner culture. I'm just normal-looking, partially because I like the way I dress and partially because it doesn't attract attention.

I got a huge arrangement of clothes, from plad button up shirts, regular tee's, my BRAND new tiedie shirt... that rocks! Thankyou very much. A Good pair of jeans and a really tattered pair , that I do have to say good bye to soon. I wear whatever I like.
I like dressing a little bit irrigular so I can meet other irrigular people. It seems to work.
