"Dr. Bloomquist's book is a compendium of state bullshit. On page 49 he explains the 'four states of being' in the cannabis society: 'Cool, Groovy, Hip & Square'--in that descending order. 'The square is seldom if ever cool,' says Bloomquist. 'He is "not with it," that is, he doesn't know "what's happening." But if he manages to figure it out, he moves up a notch to "hip." And if he can bring himself to approve of what's happening, he becomes "groovy." And after that, with much luck and perserverance, he can raise to the rank of "cool.'"
