Why do they even bother with those lame anti-weed commericals.

[Melkane]

Seriously what is it now? A bad stick figure cartoon of a dog refusing to go to his owner because he smokes pot? Seriously... :wtf:

...umm don't know about you but my cat doesn't give a crap and will continue sleeping curled up next to me while I get ripped.

They really have to reach to find a negative of smoking don't they?

[RamblerGambler]

I remember when they used to be laughably hilarious until the uptight moral ending. I think Harold and Kumar successfully mock these the best. Although, my personal favorite real ad includes the classic quote:

"I'll have 300 cheesburgers" - stoner in the smogged out car in the drivethru.

[LIP]

It's pathetic, and people who belive the shit they spew are even more pathetic.

The Governments KNOW that weed is safe, and know that they cant control it because THEY are in the wrong, so they're trying to scare small minded idiots away from it. Luckily, it's only small minded idiots who belive that shit.

Whatever facts they give are lies. Completely fabricated bullshit.

[sefi]

the govnt weeds out the retards with that small minded shit so all the stoners are smart ::P

[MagicalHerb]

no man, one time, i was smoking a joint with my girlfriend and some fucking alien came and took her away. marijuana takes you away from the ones you love!!! let my lesson be a guiding point to save your souls.
ps-its also well known marijuana, or cannabis, is a gateway drug and inevitably leads to harder drugs.98% of peoples first drug was pot! wow!

[PureEvil760]

There probably to bug out people that just started smoking.

The best ones are:

Cannabis is a Gateway Drug. - cannabisnews.com: â??Gatewayâ?? Drug Goes Up in Smoke (http://cannabisnews.com/news/22/thread22434.shtml)

The last link is very old, it's from when cannabis was a class b drug, now it's a class C coz out government realised it's harmless.

Point is, the 3 arguments the governments like to use the most are completely untrue, proving our point. They are lying SCUM.

[Spoken Word]

there probably to bug out people that just started smoking. Yup or they are using social reasons to discourage marijuana use.
And if the propaganda affected you, you problably are the age they are targeting:thumbsup:

its just like cigarette advertising, man..
and i bet they have some form of subliminal messaging in there. like when the girl rides off with the alien, it draws some connection to smoking weed and everyone abandoning you. who knows, but its a dirty game, those commercials..

[PureEvil760]

this is the best
YouTube - Marijuana Kills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsBj8NRufw)

[PureEvil760]

u guys are caring about these commercials a little too much, thier just stupid pointless commercials and if anyone stops smoking weed because of them, then thats thier problem.

[RamblerGambler]

I just enjoy laughing at them, especially when smoking. It's amusing to see how the ads evolve, each time trying something new and equally brainless. Remember "smoking marijuana supports terrorists?" That was a classic.

[pass_the_dubbie]

I seen some old video that showed some old school guys in suits smoking then one randomly beats the shit out of the other one...aparently because he was high...I shall dig it up as I post....im rather high im sorry...okay I cant find the video but yeah. The lengths they go to, to make us believe this crap is unbelieveable.

[MagicalHerb]

was that really one of their arguments rambler?
that is pathetic xD

[anangrymailman]

u guys are caring about these commercials a little too much, thier just stupid pointless commercials and if anyone stops smoking weed because of them, then thats thier problem.

I don't think people are caring about these commercials too much. They don't change the way I feel about weed, but they certainly do change the opinions of the non-stoner population. Go talk to some regular people about drugs. It's incredible what they believe! They wouldn't be so misguided if the government didn't put so much effort into creating misconceptions about drugs.

[Skink]

we have to spend all those drug prevention dollars somewhere,,,right???

[LIP]

These kind of things annoy me. Why? Because it's all made with our taxes - the taxes I have to pay, and for what? It's a waste. They should use my money on something thats going to help the country, not be ignored. They need to concentrate on DRUGS, and leave plants out of it.

[Spoken Word]

^taxes spent to educate and clean americas youth
some people appreciate it. other don't appreciate being lied to.
lol
i like the thought of these recent ones.
they aren't coming with DRASTIC lies. Instead they come subliminaly(like another stated) and let you decide the message.

some people might be alienated because of weed.
others might fuck up relationships because of weed.

i think it's targeting high school/middle school students and I don't think kids that age should be smoking so i guess they are ok with me.

everytime i see one i smoke a bowl :P fuck em

[RamblerGambler]

MedicalHerb, it was indeed. In ONE add it claimed that marijuana 1) provides money that kills judges 2) supports gang activity and 3*) The main focus: pot finances terrorists, as evidenced by fast cut shots of actors in ski masks opening a car's trunk revealing a pile of ak-47's.

Although it might be a convenient out at some point. "We could have won the war on terror, but the dope fiends sabotaged our chances!"

Here's a little outdated reading material on the topic:Axing the Drug-Terrorism Ad Campaign (http://www.fff.org/comment/com0307b.asp)

Slightly off topic, but doesn't the title Drug Czar sound a lot cooler than it actually is?

Don't forget about the report where marijuana use causes man boobs. :S2:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[yoda]

i miss the daily factoids, even when they never changed

[Reefer Rogue]

Leeches, stick figures, farcical.

[Maggz]

Yea, its facisim..just like the fucking tobacco commercials.

[sttomassmoker]

my favorite's are the one where pot made the girl get pregnant.

my second favorite was an internet ad where it was something to the extent of "billy was high and didnt see the merging 18 wheeler"

[MagicalHerb]

I think the stick cartoons with the dog are promoting a different message. I saw one where the guy smoking said,

"Don't leave me, I need you."

And the dog just walked off and raised a flag. It's as if they're saying it's ok to turn your back on a smoker, and that's how addicts become addicts. I sent them an email about that one, and never got a reply.

because they are corrupt government-run agencys. you cant expect them to consider what you say, they have big profits to make off keeping weed illegal and with their ads and shit its all just a stupid scam, an illusion, dumb people. ugh. it disgusts me people can get so corrupted to deprive everyone of weed its the shit! if we all smoked weed and it was chill, it would be totally different and shit would change. but nah these people make so much money, i hate money, i want to burn all the money, but we need it because theres no way out its like a trap

lmao
im baked,
im out peace
:upsidedow:pipe::baggy:

[Maggz]

They're just something else for me to laugh at while im high off my ass..dont pay it much mind.

[Stimpy]

I laughed so hard when i saw that commercial. I saw it right after i smoked too.

[TheBigOne45]

Because these people get PAID to do it. The magic word is PAID! They get PAID to tell you lies. Sad thing is...your taxes are paying these sick motherfuckers. The demonization of marijuana is at the heart of the Drug War. This is millions of dollars that COULD have gone to schools or health care, but they thought it would be better to repeat the lies and tell you the terrible truth about marijuana. DUN DUN DUN!!!

If I were them, I would be ashamed of myself. Thats unhonest and dirty money.
