Above the Influence

[LazySmoking420]

Why do these commercials ALWAY target Cannabis. A harmless naturally grown Herb. Why never target drugs that really change your personality and breed you of your soul and health. Like Meth, cocaine, heroin ect..

I think a lot of people fail to take full advantage of the plants beneficial effects. Euphoria can be very beneficial for humans. Euphoria is Extremely underrated. Every human can benefit from Euphoria.

But these commercials are holding back some people I believe because of the shame based system that's in place today. Because you smoke weed that makes you a bad person...But it's okay to drink yourself stupid..

Why has Cannabis been shamed this way? It only wants to get us high...

It's sad..

[higher4hockey]

what? you've never hit a little girl on a bike while you're toasted at a drive thru window? sheesh what kinda smoker are you ? i've hit five!

[LazySmoking420]

I just smoke, I dont do anything really out of the normal. Cannabis just makes the ordinary, extraordinary..

[EbelEyes]

what? you've never hit a little girl on a bike while you're toasted at a drive thru window? sheesh what kinda smoker are you ? i've hit five!

Shit son!

I just got to number 5 last night!

I've also dissapointed my dog, crashed my car, had a friend get mad at me over the phone, got a girl pregnant, chopped my fingers off with a saw in shop class, and missed my dinner plans with grandma!

[Leebstatus]

I think they're trying to push the idea that weed is a gateway drug. Have you guys seen how shitty that joint is at the end of the commercial? I almost died laughing when I saw one of those the last time I was high.

[geonagual]

I saw one tonight where this is this stick figure guy in the window and he is trying to pass a joint to his dog.

[five0addict]

now they dont even say its bad, they just say that people will look down on you or feel sorry for you if you smoke.
now the using that preschool animation.. idk.. i think the people that write that stuff must be high as fuck! just too weird.

[Thepossumdance]

We, as cannabis smokers suffer discrimination everyday, because we choose to smoke an almost harmless plant, that has been around since we have, if not before us. It's never killed a single person. It's done nothing wrong. Yet it's illegal. Why? There is NO reason for is to be illegal, but because it is WE get the shit for smoking it, people look down on US! Can you belive it. THEY look down on US. For a start, that's wrong, because weed smokers contribute SO much to sociaty they'd all be fucked without us.
Yet, it's fine for someone to drinkthemselves stupid, and eventually die. Why? Because it's legal. Why isnt Alcohol illegal? No Reason.

They've [The governments] got their priorities mixed up, they lie, they steal and they cheat. Alot of them are fucking corrupt, and yet them and the civil service are running our countries. Why? They cant run a country for shit. Look at the state of em.

Any laws against cannabis are not laws, they a jokes, and therefore cannabis is legal.

We're right, they are wrong, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME.

Weed should be legal, no doubt about it, and alcohol should be illegal, no doubt about that either.

IF our joke of a government[s] actually had the knowledge to run a country properly they wouldnt be worrying about cannabis, they'd be targeting drugs that are actually bad. The ones that are causing problems.

Ahh, im gunner stop now, every time i talk about this i loose my temper because i can belive how stupid people can be, espcially people running our countries.

They work for us. They should do what WE want.

This world is falling to bits, because of THEM. If we ran it, the people who live in the countries, this world would be a nice place to live, filled with weed, EVERYWHERE.

3 words;

Fuck the Government.

3 more words;

Fuck the law.

I basicaly prove to my PO that drinking is much more destructive, in a written essay, and she didn't have jackshit to quickly reply with, which is rare.

LOL a written essay

Thats right kill-em with knowlage! The more and more benificial facts surface the more cogs will be thrown into the "above the influence" machine.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

Thats right kill-em with knowledge! The more and more beneficial facts surface the more cogs will be thrown into the "above the influence" machine.

from time to time i will ask people their views on MJ prohibition and 90% of the time the response from normal(?), upstanding, non pot smoking individuals is "well, it's illegal so you shouldn't do it". no one has been fooled by the anti-drug rhetoric for years, they just follow the law. even law enforcement knows that the so-called dangers of MJ are illusory; they just enforce the laws, they don't make them.

the continuation of MJ prohibition is a matter of control and saving face, nothing more. government isn't concerned with our health, they aren't worried about the insights gleaned from substance use, they aren't even concerned about the impact legalization would have on the pharmaceuticals industry; they just want to keep the population on the leash.

you can't make any difference by telling them what they already know. next time you see one of those "above the influence" commercials remember that no one over the age of 7 believes this shit and this is just the government's way of sustaining the illusion that they know what they're doing. the knowledge you should be killing them with is that we know what they are up to, we are intelligent, we are organized and we are armed.

consider this an act of sedition if you wish, but is revolution so wrong when those in power refuse to acknowledge the desires and needs of those who gave them that power? the u.s. was founded for exactly those reasons. or have you conveniently forgotten that point?

[ReUp]

Why are you complaining? Above the Influence commercials are the best on TV. Being stoned and watching them is fucking hillarious.

[2600HERTZ]

I am completely excited right now that someone else thinks these commercials are such a fucking joke and target nothing thats harmful. How about above the influence commercials that target fat people and tell them how bad fast food is...it's infinitely worse on you than marijuana.

[d00d557]

It almost feels like they're just sticking with the same policy just because its been in place for a while and are just too god damn lazy to change it. Not to mention all the stupid god damn propoganda everybody gets forcefed. I remember in middle school and shit I got fed that stuff and took it to heart. I thought, "Oh I am never trying that shit." Then one day I say what the hell and here I am. The people the commercials target are just people that don't know what else to think and have not seen any other info that points to anything besides what the government says. Alcohol of course is worse than marijuana its just the fact that alcohol has been "domesticated" in a sense and marijuana has not been broadly "domesticated" like alcohol. So of course this shit is going to keep circulating until we legalize it in one state. Then once its legalized in one state its gonna start like a brushfire. If its legalized it will arouse curiousity amoung all the brainwashed people. Since the mentality lingers amoung the public that if its legal its alright. Otherwards until then the government isn't going to up and say, "We're sorry for being ignorant dickheads, smoke all you want." I mean it was close in colorado in a sense. 40% of the people voting said yes for legalization, 60% said no. I think that next time another legalization bill rolls around during the next elections we might have a chance. Anyway thats the end of my rant. BTW anyone ever notice that joint at the end of the slomming commerical? Shittiest joint ever:S2:

[d00d557]

Hey ReUp, the marijuana kills commerical in harold and kumar go to white castle is fucking hilarious stoned
"Come on dude, just take one hit, don't you wanna be cool?""*takes hit and swallows*"I'm so high man, nothing can hurt me"*reaches for gun and sticks in mouth*"Noooo!!!" MARIJUANA KILLS

[ReUp]

Fuck yes. I love the realllly old school commercials from the black and white TV era. Like one where the guy smokes weed than his eyes get huge and he smiles real big and laughs wickedly as he beats his wife to death. Classic.

[Snorbel]

Well guys, I have to tell you my story. It all started with cannabis.

Last week, my friends got me to smoke weed.

So then obviously this week I dropped out of high school, sat on my friend's couch for 12 hours, then stuck leeches on my dick, ran over little girls, and got stitches when I tried to outrun a ferocious dog.

[Oneironaut]

Don't you hate it when you smoke a joint and then you melt into a flat, blob-like creature? That pisses me off so much. Next time some random guy on the streets offers to get you high like they always do, just say "No thanks, I enjoy having a skeleton inside me."

i heard your girlfriend ran off with an alien too....

musta been one shitty week for you.

[hello3pat]

Above the Influence just needs to fucking stop and focus on other drugs. Next week my school is hosting an "Open Drug Forum" with the main speaker being some P.h.d. specializing in teen substance abuse and on the flier everytime it had the word drugs after it, it had "including marijuana" and I'm pretty sure it's gonna turn into a Reefer Madness kind of thing, but I'm planning on going do to the fact it's an open forum and try to have a discussion intelligent with this doctor and plus I could win door prizes

[Oneironaut]

Seriously. I grew up going through DARE and attending these stupid anti-drug assemblies that my school made me go to and watching the stupid anti-drug commercials on TV. I learned all about the "dangers" of weed by the fifth grade, but I hadn't even heard about meth was until I was in high school.

[2600HERTZ]

Fuck yes. I love the realllly old school commercials from the black and white TV era. Like one where the guy smokes weed than his eyes get huge and he smiles real big and laughs wickedly as he beats his wife to death. Classic.

Thats a clip from Reefer Madness.
