"above the influence"

my gateway drug is one of the most deadly and addictive... but yet legal!...CIGARETTES!

Just propaganda. I have a good chuckle sometimes at those commercials. I'd love to see someone stick a fist in there mouth! I knew one guy, he was all coked up all the time, and he could take a strand of spagetti, put it up his nose and out his mouth :p I know this has nothing to do with prop., but I thought I'd bring it up.

I think these commercials just fool the uneducated mind. When I was 12, I thought MJ was a bad thing, but you never find out for sure until you do it for yourself. Then when I did, I read more and more about it and realized it doesn't make me feel bad, or make sick...it makes me feel good. Damn good! Isn't having a beer the same thing as smoking a joint? To relax, and escape reality?

So, let the fools the be fooled, but until they have a toke, they shouldn't say shit!

what kind of crap is this?? is disinformation, is lying. They ignore the fact that alot of people smoke pot also go to college, work, play music, etc.


this "above the influence" shit really means "under our influence"

exactly the kind of nonsense i would expect from someone under the influence of marijuana.

didnt you know that every time you smoke a joint, you become 5x more likely to spontaneously deflate?

the more you know..

My decisions to drink, smoke (tobacco), and smoke (mj) have all been mine. They were made out of curiosity and were initiated by me. I enjoy them, so I keep doing them. Thanks Above the Influence, I'm going to take your advice and not let anyone pressure me into being less than me.

Agreed. But the networks would probably only show them between 1am and 3am, when only the stoners are awake and the kiddies and grownups are asleep in their beds.

At least the "Say No to Drugs" shit is going away.

I would preferre the "just say no" stayed, at least that has the least power to sway people.
