i saw another commercial which targeted marijuana directly, and it really pushed me over the limit. Now every channel i watch is littered with these false informants. I think they should get their facts lined up before they make accusations, and i think they should attack harder drugs that are crashing America. I know there has been a thread like this on here before, but i want to know what these people have against marijuana. Thats about it.:smokin:

[endo..jay]

where are all these rich activest? they need to make a commercial that actually tells the truths about mj

[Nullific]

I am above the propaganda.

my friend used to be really fun before she smoked weed. now her limbs have turned into a gelatinous substance, and she cant get off the couch.

for god sakes, dont let this happen to you.

[hempsmoker25]

i think someone should do a commercial also, talking about the good sides of weed,.

The worst thing I saw was a Health video. In the part adressing marijuana it shows a small kid being forced by bigger kids to take a hit. The whole time I was thinking damn where the hell were those kids when I was in elementary school?. Anyways in the end he takes a hit and becomes "mindlessly addicted" (actual quote). Later it says he dies from jumping out of a window while high. No joke. That thing was obviously bullshit. My school is kind of greedy so all ouyr school videos are from the 70's and 80's thats why they're so ridiculous.

Yah I saw that one.
The odd thing is people actually believe the stories they tell about Marijuana.
When the truth is left berried behind all the lies, taboo's, and bent laws!

What do they think they can accomplish with such Bullshilt today?
"There is no fear but fear itself"

Our religion, our existence, our future!...it all ties into Marijuana, if you can draw a streight line to the garden of Eden!
So many people would grow this for free, or a small take, thus reducing the cost to produce it!
A safe, eco frinedly, renewable resource it is!
It is a king pin ofprosparity, economics,monopolies, a constant with us over time and history of this world!
Why not our future, and new worlds to make habitable eventually?

[Adolf Smittler]

if someone did a commercial about the positives of weed it would never end

[Great Spirit]

I hear ya man! Whats even more sick as when after they show anti-MJ commericials, they air an alcohol commercial like that Bacardi and Cola junk w/the midget. Talk about hypocrisy when alcohol kills almost 100,000 alone a year from it and MJ has killed 0 in history!!

It is all political really. Even Karen Tandy of the DEA admitted that the takedown of Marc Emery was political and not about seeds. I thought the US could lie better than that!!! Amateurs. lol.

People knew what hemp was, but Harry J. Anslinger's dirty tricks came in handy when he renamed hemp, "marihuana". Yes with an 'h"!! People didn't know what the hell "marhuana" was, so they just went along with it, unknown that it was the cannabis hemp they were using in their medications, food, and clothing.

Weed was just not accepted back then among the white status quo because it was associated with Mexicans and black jazz musicians and it is slightly gaining acceptance now especially in Europe and Canada. We can't mix white women and black men together they said!! The US seems to be on the latter end, but thats the way America always was.

LAND OF THE FREE MY ASS!!!!!!!

p.s. If you watch some British newspapers, theres another wave of reefer madness going on there because cannabis was declassed to a class C drug. Poor babies and more victory to us!!!

I've been seeing the one where a kid says he was Dared to smoke marijuana, then dared to try and outrun a lumber-yard dog.. The commercial continues by showing the kid running from a dog... I may be wrong, but I would blame the kid for doing what his friends said, not marijuana; the commercial is a full on propaganda device, I mean it leads kids to think that if they smoke pot that they will end up running from a crazy a$$ dog.

Almost all the AboveTheInfluence commercials have had a scenario where a kid is pressured or changed in some way, and somehow marijuana is involved. It all comes down to the fact that there's a choice to be made, and bud will not guide you to doing wrong, only you can decide what to do...

[Demon420]

Here's the link to where AboveTheInfluence displays their ads:
http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/the-ads/default.aspx

They also have the nerve to place a "Mythbusting Fact" saying that "It has no recognized medical value and smoking pot has never been proven to be medically beneficial." A whole bunch of b.s.!

[Esoteric416]

Thanks for the links Demon, though they did lead me to some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen. I especially like the flat ad where the girl is all deflated on the couch, world class stupidity. I wonder if the kids in those ads are aware of the crap they're peddling? On second thought I guess it's just another paycheck for them. Sellouts!
The worst is that they portray all kids as mindless puppets who tend to do whatever their friends want, these ads are more insulting than educating.

[intheclouds]

This is in someones sig. hope they don't mind.;)

Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will beLIEve it..

They have been doing this shit since the 1930's. To many people with no common sense listening to people with their own interests in mind so their pockets can get fatter. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am above the influence of the capitalist mass media. They don't care about what is true. They only care about what will get them the most money. You'll never see a pro-weed commercial until it's legalized, because there's no money in it for them. Free your mind not only through drugs but through educating yourself properly. Read some books, talk to people, go see the world for yourself, but for goodness sake don't pay attention to the lies coming off your television screen.

[chodedatoad]

what i dont get is how all these commercials and propaganda shit tell us to make our own decisions and dont let people tell us what to do. But isn't that exactly what they're doing. kinda goes against everything they stand for.
