my roomates and i were watching TV once and they had the one where the girl was like liquid on the couch and her friend was like "this is all we do anymore" and my roomate's girlfriend just says to the TV "well what do you WANT to do?" i've never really known any stoners to turn down a fun activity just because they're stoned. my favorite one is where they run over the girl on the bike. stupid unrealistic commercials.
there is this one commercial where they focus on two guys staring at the wall and there is this voice (jamaician) saying how stupid they are for thinking about smoking and driving.
cut to the next scene the voice is coming from an african tribe mask or something like that.
then theres this other one where this guy is about to go out the door with the keys in his hands. and then cut to the next scene you see a pack of pirate papers talking to him saying " trust me you are high, dont drive"
those commercials make me laugh.
I think there is some truth to THAT anti-pot commercial. If you are smoking pot, you aren't going to go out and wreak havoc on the neighborhood, you aren't going to put a flaming bag of shit on old man zimmerman's doorstep, you aren't going to drive your car around and run over school children, and you obviously aren't going to go rape people or hack people to bits (as it is affirmed in the classic film Reefer Madness). It's as harmless as aspirin.
What is the fucking deal with the "just say no" philosophy anyways? Like anybody runs around trying to GIVE their drugs to other people. When was the last time a drug user got up in your face , saying "COME ON MAN TRY THIS JOINT EVERYBODY IS DOING IT, NOBODY WILL FIND OUT AND IT MAKES U LOOK SO K3W1 OMG! YOU ARE SO NOT COOL BICOS U ARE NOT SMOKING!!!" Sorry, as tempting as it would be to take these FREE DRUGS that you are offering me, i just *have* to say no because i promised the DARE officer i will never smoke weed in kindergarten.
my point: the drug war is stupid, unfounded bullshit. The only reason we have it is to geneate revenue for the police departments. You know that they get to cease and keep all the cash from drug deals, don't you?? If John Q. Policeman and his team of thugs cease 10,000 dollars from cannabis cultivation, that's 10,000 dollars in the police force's pocket. Doesn't that piss you off, knowing that the POLICE are profiting the most from cannabis? Kind of sends a hypocritical message; which is why they don't flaunt it.
ggg
That junk yard dog one is so ludicrous.
ha ha...that one reminded me of a deflated blow up dollQuote:

I just got through reading this book on neurochemistry, and it was saying how the logical fallacy of the Reagan administration's "This is you brain on drugs" is that your brain is always on drugs. Always. If your brain wasn't on drugs, it would be a hunk of meat between your ears with as much useful parts as the appendix.
I've seen that commerical so many times. Pointless.
The point of the commercial isn't that the guy was so stoned he ran with a junkyard dog. It's that he listened to his friend about smoking pot, so he listened to his friend about running with the dog. It doesn't work at all because no one wants to run from a junkyard dog, but everyone wants to have a good time.
:D So true I just don't understand where there heads are at truely I just don't get it.Why don't they spend the money they use for these pathatic ads and do something decent with it instead.Fortunitly we don't have those ads only around election time and I spose they are bad but not as bad as this.:thumbsup: :stoned:Quote:
