If the video would not load here is the script.


(Scene opens with a guy sitting on the couch talking directly to the camera)

I smoked weed and nobody died.
I didn't get into a car accident, I didn't O.D. on heroin the next day, nothing happened.

(Shot widens to show the guy with two friends sitting on the couch)

We sat on Pete's couch for 11 hours.
Now what's going to happen on Pete's couch? Nothing.

(Shot now shows the guys on the couch in the middle of the woods with some mountain bikers riding by. Then to a basketball court. Then an ice rink.)

You have a better shot of dying out there in the real world, driving hard to the rim, ice skating with a girl. No, you wanna keep yourself alive, go over to Pete's and sit on his couch til you're 86.
Safest thing in the world.

(Shot now shows the guys on the couch outside a movie theater. The guy talking gets up from the couch and walks into the theater)

Me? I'll take my chances out there. Call me reckless.




















I just think this is messed up. You should have the right to consume what ever you want. For instance when you get scared knowing something bad is about to happen you heart will beat faster and blood will flow better. Why? because your body reacts with your mind incase you may have to get away. I'm sick of this crap saying its bad for your body. Fulling knowing your body reacts with your mind there for you understand what you are putting into your body. And rate there it states marijuana is not bad for you, And you will not die. Now if only some politics would wise up and watch that. Realize the lies they spit out at the general public. Flame if you want to. But thanks for takeing the time to read this post.

Notice right at the end he gets off the couch and goes and sits in a movie, theatre. Which is something you could never do high. Those commercials are a waste of money and time. It never really helps their so called "problem"

[spiked666killer]

Sitting at the movies dazed is fun.

[RedLocks]

stupid thing is, they are trying to influence people to believe lies. Spend all the money that goes into anti marijuana propaganda on say something like... education maybe...

[The Colonel]

sitting on a couch is for 11 hours is fun.

Their funniest commercial is the one with the lady in the meth lab coocking meth and the message is that it's hurting the baby on the floor above her. As if America really has a problem with deaths due to seconhand meth fumes by small children living above meth labs. Not that I condone meth, it's just such an odd thing to target. And why the hell is it ALWAYS about weed? weed does nothing except make kids realize that they were lied to their whole life about how bad it was. So the best way to combat this is LIE SOME MORE?! They are such idiots.

[MastaChronic]

damn that kid mustve had some bomb ass weed, sit on the couch til your 86? what a couchlock!

[t3chyo]

this new commercial, mixed with some old ones are contridicting...there was one where this kid does stupid things his friends tell him to do, and does them because he's high. Yet this new commercial clearly states you will sit on the couch the rest of your life. It's obvious they are going back and forth sticking to only one side...

[fikusroot]

the girl in the smushed one looked like ET. Their message is fucked up. You arent compromising anypart of your identity by smoking weed. Most people smoke weed out of curiosity, not because it's the cool thing to do. People smoke cigaretes because it's the cool thing to do. Their arguments are bullshit. I remember even before I smoked seeing antipot ads and really not paying attention to them because they were all the same. Now when my sicence teacher pulled out a human lung from a smoker that was covered in tar, that kept me from smoking. (well not just that, but it was still more convincing than ATI.)

[smoke it]

i wanna know what this dude is smokin to get him high for 11 hours at a time!
but they should shut the fuck up.
