Above the Influence sent me back.

I didn't feel like finding my old thread, so here is the original email, their reply, and mine.



I have been smoking marijuana for about two years. I retain information just as well as any other clean teenager. If you have a desire to learn, you can overcome this. I know I have. Some of my other friends however haven't. It seems to me that you are saying heavy marijuana use is like heavy alcohol use. Well, it isn't. If you drink too much at once, you may die. If you smoke too much at once the worst thing that will happen to you is you pass out on the couch. Also, even though marijuana is illegal, it shouldn't be. It is way less harmless than alcohol, cough medicine, even fast food for christ sake. Eat a pound of fast food, gain a pound or two. Smoke an ounce of weed, fall asleep. Prohibition in the 1920's didn't work, so why will marijuana prohibition stay? I think we both know the answer. It's because the government is afraid of being wrong that smoking a little bit of dope makes you completely worthless. Also, it is very easy to grow, therefore hard to tax.

Thanks for your interest in AbovetheInfluence.com. First thing's first -
marijuana is illegal. Research shows that marijuana affects many of the
skills required for learning. It can hinder your ability to learn. Heavy
marijuana use impairs young people's ability to concentrate and retain
information. Visit http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/marijuana.html for more
information. Why would you want to risk your academic success and future?

Message: I've been smoking marijuana since I was 12. I am now 14, going on
15. I use the plant responsibly, and don't abuse it. I am not lazy. I am in
the top 10 percent of the freshman class. Marijuana has given me a different
outlook on life. It helps me study important ideas and philosophies. It
cures the pain from the aches I constantly get in my body. My lungs are
perfectly fine also. In all, I want to tell you propaganda spreading,
ignorant, fascists to stop spreading false information. Did you know
cigarettes and alcohol are worse than marijuana, and that there has been 0
deaths from marijuana in history? In all of this time I have been smoking, I
have never caused trouble, dropped out from my sophomore/junior honor
classes I am taking as a freshman. I like to give my friends advice while
I'm high. Usually they tell me it works very good. Maybe you should focus on
harder drug propaganda, such as crystal meth and heroine. Don't waste our
tax dollars on this ignorance. The more people know about the truth, the
wiser they become. In reality, you are dumbing people down with false
information. Let our people know the truth. The nation is based on honesty.
Is this the nation you want? A nation filled with people who believe the
false information they are told? What if a group of people like yourselves
said that fast food is the best thing for you because it is cheap, and
contains most of the food groups. Then these people said you need to eat
more to be healthy. Well now they believe you, and everyone is incredibly
unhealthy, and we have people dying. Your advertising is going to kill the
nation. Marijuana can help AIDS patients live longer. They lose their
hunger, and refuse to eat. What do you do? Give them a nice joint filled
with Cannabis Sativa. They WILL eat. What if this patient is a loved one?
What will you do, let them die faster? No, of course you won't. You will
want them to live. If the government legalized marijuana, they could focus
on more important things, such as hard drugs, gang violence, rape, murders,
serial killers, etc. The list goes on. We could put those people in jail,
and take a harmless man who wanted to take a little hit out of jail.

Marijuana laws are not laws. They are jokes.

LOL, the post you couldn't be bothered to look up and add to instead of making a new thread was the next one after this and very easy to find with a quick "Find all posts from user"! Come on, surely you're not that lazy with everything you do!?!?

You might have better results playing with the heads at Freevibe dot com...they're a lot more insane about their anti-pot attitudes.

it looks like that was an automatic response and a person never read this

Way to do it fatty. Is that LIP's sig...?

On there add things the other night I was bored so I made a long rant about how almost everything they say is false, my post didn't get approved.

i sent this to them

I am wondering why all of your ads having nothing to do with how
marijuana
is bad for you? Its talking about peer pressure, you can get peer
pressure
from anything, can you not? Why do you need to bring a false outlook on
marijuana for the public to see on TV. Why dont you make an ad like the
anti-tabacco ads "truth". Why dont you tell the "truth" about
marijuana? How
is marijuana like putting leech on you? That is the most unheard of
thing
out there. Being under the influence dosent ONLY mean from someone
wanting
you to take a hit.. why dont you get a clue on what is really going on
and
stop giving fake and un-true statments to the general public.
why would you look down on a plant that grows naturally, is not cooked,
or
made up with chemicals and posions. Thousands of people all over the
world
have medical conditions that marijuana helps with and they need to have
the
marijuana, they are not smoking because they are under the influence..
these
people are all ages.


Id love to hear a response from you, maybe you can show me how
marijuana
really can harm me..

And why stay above the inflence if you are getting high?
I am above the influence, I get high.







and they sent an auto response back those fags

Man they said the same thing like four times in that response.

It seems to me that was automated.

That reply sounds alot like the FRANK thing we have in England. They dont actually answer your questions, at all. They just give you an automated email with aload of bullshit.

This is why theres absolutly no point to have them.
