Are you a die-hard skier who likes to blaze, drive around in your Subaru and eat raw vegetables? Than you must be from Colorado! At least, that’s what stereotypes make you think…Here are 11 common stereotypes about Centennial State residents that must be stopped. Now.
1.) We’re all hardcore stoners
Flickr/Don Hankins Yes, marijuana is legal. Yes, some (over the age of 21, of course) choose to partake. No, not all of us smoke.
2.) All we do is ski
Flickr/Morning Calm Weekly News Yes; right after rolling a huge blunt and drinking a keg of Coors. Side Note: I was born and raised in CO and have only skied ONCE in my entire life
3.) The majority of the population is made up of hippies…
Flickr/Paul Townsend “Make love, not war.”
4.) …cowboys…
Flickr/David This one actually is kinda true.
5.) …and hipsters
Flickr/Christopher Michel Okay, this one is definitely true.
6.) Veganism is life
Flickr/Jovan J I like my seafood and dairy way too much to be a vegan…Sorry.
7.) We all have dogs
Flickr/Martin L I actually have a cat that we adopted from the shelter…please don’t hate me.
8.) Every Coloradoan owns a Subaru
Flickr/Rambling Dream Sadly, this is false…but I wish I had a Subaru!
9.) Birkenstocks may as well be the official state shoe
Flickr/Tony Alter ‘stocks? No. Toms? Yes.
10.) It’s all organic or nothing
Flickr/various brennemans I’ll take nothing.
11.) Coloradoans are the coolest, smartest and most interesting people you’ll ever meet
