Cool, high, or typical American?

When I approached the cashier a few nights ago at our local grocery store, a friend of his was standing next to him puzzling over something. The cashier saw me and immediately said "She knows what it is." After he said that, I of course had to take a look and see what it was - and it was an empty package of pure natural papers for rolling... whatever your heart desires - and it was clear what the cashier's heart leaned towards to. So - A. Can I take it as a compliment that a young hip guy who was clearly into "the keta," as we say in Hebrew, thought I was also into it; or did he think I was into it because he thought I looked like a hippie and/or high; or does he think that all Americans are into it?
And B. Did I manage to retain any slight street cred possibly credited to me when I said I wasn't really into it (primarily because on the occasions I have partaken I haven't really noticed any effect - but I didn't get into that), but did immediately recognize it for what it was and was cool about it?

    Once when we were in Jerusalem a rabbi asked if we wanted some. We said no, we didnt use it. We looked a bit like hippies
