Austin pot smokers attempt to dispel the “stoner” stereotype [View all]

There are a lot of really physically fit people in Austin.

There are also a lot of people who smoke pot in Austin.

An Austin group called Team Hope through Cannabis (THC) hopes to marry the two camps by organizing “runs and walks around Austin, including 5K’s and 10K’s and also goes to various sporting events.”

The athletic pot smokers from Team Hope through Cannabis hope to dispel the public’s perception that smoking weed makes you lazy, slow minded, and hungry.

The group is for athletic potheads. If the majority of your free time is spent on a couch and your carpet has bong water stains, then this group is probably not for you.
