i just noticed something kindof weird

i was watching a "truth" tobacco commercial and i noticed that they are very affective because the spit out facts with actual storys and stats the support the negative affects of cigarette use
as seen here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uxI5qzymqRY)
(tobacco is legal btw)

but then i watched an "above the influence" anti-weed commercial and noticed that they arent really saying anything as to why i shouldnt smoke weed. They just tell me to be an individual and not conform to the crowd. Or in some case they say if i smoke weed an alien will come down and steal my girlfriend :wtf:

these commercials are funded and created by the gov't "for a drug-free america" , and low budget stick figures with broad ambiguous messages are the best they can do to persuade the youth of america to not smoke weed. Maybe the govt really has nothing bad to say about weed,or maybe they really dont care if we smoke but only make pointless ad campaigns to appear as if they are doing something.
What do you guys think

did you know that a very very small portion of the tax you pay on cigarettes funds the anti-smoking campaigns along with some to schools some to state some to feds some to health so on and so forth at least here in michigan damn near $6 a pack

Maybe they make stack loads of money controlling the drugs supply so they can give even more money to the DEA

I say smoke it up - we have the finest weed the world has ever seen, these are high times my friends.

High times indeed

Cigs are now over $10 per pack in the UK ;)
