Anti weed ads

[memoryburner]

Did anyone else notice that these "above the influence" ads are full of shit? Like the one where the girl is on the couch flat and her friend says that shes no fun, total bullshit. They make it seem like we do nothing but get stoned and then sit around all day and never have any fun. The website is stupid too. Here are some quotes from the information about weed.

"Can you become addicted to marijuana? Actually, yes. More teens are in treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined. Smoking marijuana also causes some changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term use of cocaine and heroin. THC is the chemical that causes some smokers to develop tolerance to its effects and need more of the drug, leading to addiction. one joint is equal to four cigarettes. Marijuana has no reacognized medical value."

TOTAL BULLSHIT. :cursing:cursing:cursing:

[FAllout]

if these peopel would try it once they would see all the(or some) of the good things about weed.

Peopel are neve moderate any more. Its fuckign anoying!
It always either great or horibole nothing can jsut be

I hate these stupid ass comercials that talk about how smoking weed is caused by peer pressure. That's I lie. Nobody peer pressures somebody into smoking weed, they just suggest to their friend. If the friend says yes, they woud probably do it neway. If somebody actually did hav a weak enough will to smoke weed just cuz their friends told them 2, they might as well be smoking weed neway, to forget how goddam pathetic they r. The ppeer pressure lie probably came from sum kid who told his parents that, so they wouldn't yell at him for smoking pot.

[HighAllTheTime420]

btw, i love how the only 2 options r yes.

[memoryburner]

Lol. thanks. u know what gets me though? how they say it causes cancer, even though that was disproven.

[EternalEnemy]

No, the other option is "hell yes"

[NextLineIsMine]

There was one where the kid is sitting with his 2 friends on the couch as everyone around him is doing active stuff having good clean fun. I rolled- over stoned on my loveseat and went to sleep

[memoryburner]

i saw that one. then he gets up and goes to do "fun" stuff. stuff like that is funner when ur baked

[U4E uh]

I think they just ignore the option of moderation and the possibility of smoking responsibly. (Though we have commercials telling us we can drink responsibly.)

[memoryburner]

exactly. more people do stupid stuff on alchahol than weed, so idk what kind of shit they are trying to pull.

[HighAllTheTime420]

ooh, ooh, I know, Drunk

I thought that one was true but I dont see any reason not to just sit around if you have nothing to do.:rasta:

[JerryGarcia]

See, somebody should start a site with a paypal account that people can donate to so that we finally have enough money to run some pro-weed ads.

[memoryburner]

lol. they would get attacked by the FCC. i would make a pro-legalization commercial. also, im hella baked right now. LEGALIZE IT BITCH!

[U4E uh]

Does the FCC have the power to just take the commercial off, or would it be like taken to court??

[memoryburner]

i dont know. but im guessing they do. werent they the ones who took off cigg. commercials?

[iNfamouzJ]

one radio commercial i heard was about pete's couch or something. they were like "No i'm not out driving in a car, careless and drunk, i'm stoned and on pete's couch, save. i'm not blah blah blah, but i'm safe on pete's couch. i could be on a date, but i'm on pete's couch. i didn't die from a car accident. i died in a different way." or something. regardless, it was stupid.

[Buddha Man]

weed is fun. just look at all the movies. movies about alcoholism, cocaine, heroine are all depressing moveis where someone ends up dying. weed movies are always hilarious...heres a short list of why weed is fun and cool and like so totally awsome

cheech and chong
half baked
how high
harold and kumar
jay and silent bob
and more but im im too stoned right now to think of any. hey look im baked and im not on petes couch!!

[U4E uh]

I heard a commercial, on the radio, about a guy who specialized in defending people in trouble with the law for possesing marijuana.

[b33w]

have you seen that new commerical where the phone rings and the guy answers and hes all 'man i was so high last night....how did she get home?....you know that's not me" and then his 'friend' hangs up on him??

its bullshit cause they are saying that when you get high you forget what happens and leave your girlfriend and ditch people wtf sorry thats a lie and im gonna go smoke a bowl.

[CBsDankNugs]

all their factas about weed are fucking bullshit. trippy ass website tho.

[brown_fv]

- hell yes...

[BongZoola]

I am going to make a shirt with the 'above' arrow pointing downward and have the words UNDER painted over it.

[MetFan3125]

those ads are ridiculous. I can understand trying to convince kids to not do drugs, but come on now. Outright lying to America's youth is just wrong! Instead of spending the millions of dollars a year on restricting marijuana use (I say restricting only because we all know if we want some weed bad enough, we can get it, it's just a matter of finding it), why not try putting into medical research, the piss-poor economy, or something a little more useful. To say weed destroys lives is bullshit. It's not the weed destroying lives, it's the people destroying themselves. I'm an Honor-Merit roll graduate and I smoked my ENTIRE senior year (going to school baked for the last 1/4 of the school year), and I did fine.

Fuck anti-pot ads, fuck the movement against pot, and fuck the people supporting it.

sorry for the rant, but I get worked up when defending the Green Spirit

[ReferMadness]

a funny weed ad was i saw on a movie it was hilarious i found it on youtube

[KillYerself]

How many times have you caught one of those commercials when your fuckin blowed?
Fucking happens to me all the time; I always end up calling a friend and telling them to live above the influence.

What I'm wondering, after reading the last few sentences, is:

A. Do these people have any idea how to get a real point across, and follow a thought from begining to end?:confused:

B. I seriously think they just copy and pasted the last two or three sentences straight from one of Regan's long-since disproven "monkey-with-a-gas-mask" test results. Read them two or three times... it makes me laugh at how stupid they sound in paragraph form like that... and I haven't even vaped yet today!

[chris40]

Here you go dudes (http://abovetheinfluence.com/the-ads/default.aspx)

Watch them when your fucked up!

[dejayou30]

they sat on pete's couch for 11 hours? i don't think smoking weed was all they did... and the "whatever" one is pretty funny. i love being stoned and macking on girls at parties. and usually i get girls to smoke with me. bitches respect the chronic.

[Bludshot23]

I have one word about the nation we live in. Hipocracy. Alcohol is widely accepted with all these commercials for beer, vodka, etc. When in fact alcohol is soooo much worse that weed in every way. There has never been a death directly linked to marijuana simply because if you smoke that much you would just fall asleep. Alcohol cause so many deaths a year just in poisoning (sp). Those commercials are bull shit. I did not start smoking weed because my friends pressured me. I just wanted to; it was my choice.

TOTAL BULLSHIT. :cursing:cursing:cursing:


More teens are in treatment for marijuana, that doesnt mean we're overrun with marijuana "dope fiends" trying to get theres next "fix" of marijuana. What that means is that a crap load of kids are getting busted and being FORCED to go to treatment.

We have to ask ourselves why they feel it is necessary to air such ads. The answer is simple: they're afraid of us. You don't see commercials against crystal meth or heroin, because everybody knows those drugs can seriously fuck you up. But with cannabis, there is a large sector of the population that is figuring out it really isn't as bad as the government says it is, so they feel the need to make whatever propaganda they can muster up to support their policies. They aren't going to give up the War on Drugs without a fight. These commercials should actually encourage us, because it is proof that the system sees our movement as a real threat to the status quo. Plus, the lies are getting more and more pathetic. Remember how the old ads used to say marijuana caused cancer and flattened brain waves and shit? Well, they lost those arguments, so now they're stuck with "it turns you into a flat blob-like creature". People aren't stupid. They can see right through the lies and with enough time they will demolish them once and for all.
