An incredibly
annoying persona adopted by some
hardcore stones, the Reefer Preacher is a person who spends an obsessive (even disturbing) amount of
time vocalizing their support of marijuana and its benefits, whether or not it is called for in a given situation.
The Reefer Preacher is the sort-of person whose life is
literally consumed with a misguided, self-aggrandizing efforts to
force their idealized view of cannabis down everyone's throats- hence, they become "preachers" that spout long-winded "sermons" about marijuana at any opportunity.
It's essentially a ploy for them to make themselves feel more “important.” Despite growing support for marijuana legalization, they pretend that marijuana is still a social taboo that is increasingly oppressed, and use that as a platform to annoy the fuck out of everyone unfortunate enough to be nearby with long-winded speaches about how “marijuana is the greatest miracle of nature.”
Reefer Preacher: "Do you smoke?"
Passerby: "
Oh... sometimes. I like to at parties every so often, but I don't do it all the
time, because sometimes it just doesn't sit well with my body. But on occasion, sure, I like to have a puff or two."
Reefer Preacher: "Don't be ignorant! Marijuana can
never, ever not sit well with your system! That's just the secret Illuminati conformist agenda having a placebo effect on your body with all of the anti-marijuana
propaganda that they unleash onto
air and radio-waves! Don't you know all of the benefits of cannabis?! It can be used for so much... It can cure cancer! It can end droughts! It can stop wars!"
