Above the Influence

[JohnnyZ]

I was watching Boyz in the Hood on spike and one of those Above the Influence commercials came on. A little kid had cherries (lit end of a joint in case that's only a term I use..) popping through his skin. He walks around the house and finds his 15 year old sister and her emo friend puffin a J in her bedroom. Then it hits us with the end line - "Marijuana hurts more than just you" or something equally retarded.

So in light of this I would like to encourage everyone to giddy up on over to their site and get your facts straight. Or at least get a laugh.

I am certainly not going to contribute a single website hit to them and their statistics. its not funny to me, its sad, and i already know what is said over there, just me

Im pretty fucking heated right now. Those people probably do these bias studies just so they can back up their bullshit claims. The only truthful thing on that whole page was "Marijuana is illegal".

I've been working on trying to transcribe that guitar thing going on in the background of that commercial, it's actually pretty nice if you just listen to it

I probably would have gotten better grades in high school if I had smoked. Oh well, college is where it really matters and I've been doin great so far.

For some reason or another I was watching 'Busted' on MTv and this one pot head had been pulled over and one thing lead to another where the kid wanted to express that driving under the influence of marijuana was safer than drunk driving. The cops responded something like... "NO!!!!!! R U STUPID?! YOU'RE WRONG AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY YOU'RE! WEED STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM LONGER THAN ALCOHOL!"

hahaha... oh my god...

I think we have to separate intelligence into the equation. Some people are just dumb and weed doesnt help. Others are smart and weed has little effect if responsible! The weak side of this "data" is it doesnt account for the persons psyche. For example, my freshman year of HS I smoked alot and ditched even more. My grades 1.1 or something. Ended up in boarding school and never smoked again and had nothing less than a 4.0. now it looks like weed cause my bad grades but really it was the emotional shit going on in my life that lead me to smoke weed and ditch school! How do I know. because I didnt smoke weed again for years. I started again during my last year of college and my grades actually improved. It literally cut my test anxiety and I would ace tests! its that simple! Yeah, smoking before class is dumb. but smoking when you done with your work.....Good Times! :rastasmoke:
