Question: Why are Che Guevara posters in Head shops!?
What is the connection!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Nothing specific!. It's just that a lot of people who were into left-wing politics (in a frivolous way) were also into smoking dope (in a serious way)!.

Che became an icon after he was killed by CIA-led Bolivians while he was trying to start a revolution in Bolivia!. The other big reason for the posters of course, is that the picture of Che they use is one of the coolest photos ever taken of anyone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because hippies are both dopers and communists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Che grew weed to support his guerilla efforts!. Grew weed in the south american jungles!. That's why!. He was a pothead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a vague connection between t-shirt wearer and rebel!.
About as exciting and original as dribbling!.
I have a t-shirt with POL POT on it,just to upset the goodie goodies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
