Anti Drug commercials and Freevibe.com lies

[annac]

Hello members.
it seems that we cannot get away form the anti-drug commercials here in America. In their efforts to target teens freevibe is now buying up the MAD TV air spots and ruining my laughs and buzz all at the same time. www.freevibe.com are the ones responsible and here is a little excert from their web page about "The Facts on Marijuana".
--------------------------------
It's as Bad for Your Health-or Worse, in Some Ways-as Tobacco
You might be surprised to learn that marijuana contains the same cancer-causing chemicals as tobacco, and at higher concentrations. Smoking five joints a week is the equivalent of smoking an entire pack of cigarettes every day which, even in the short term, leads to lung and respiratory problems-wheezing, frequent chest colds and-yick!-a nasty phlegmmy cough. Long-term use increases the chances of tissue damage and lung cancer, and also causes changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term use of cocaine and heroin.

Your Future Can Go Up in Smoke
Several studies have linked marijuana use with poor school performance. It's harder to concentrate and retain information when you've been using pot, and every day of school is important to teens in their peak learning years. It should be no surprise that the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse found teens with a "D" average or below more than four times as likely to have used marijuana in the last year than those with an "A" average. You're more likely to drop out - or get kicked out - of school, or out of sports or other activities if you smoke marijuana.


It's Unsafe
The likelihood of a car crash is increased by some of the immediate effects of smoking pot-longer reaction time, poor physical coordination, and impaired concentration. Marijuana also makes you more likely to do something stupid you might regret. Pot-smoking has been linked with risky sexual behaviors that increase the likelihood of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.

It Can Make You Look Like a Gritball
We're all anxious enough about how we look without having to worry about the stained fingertips and teeth, stinking breath, and bloodshot eyes that come with smoking pot. People who smoke dope can look a little-well, skeazy. They might lose interest in their appearance. They can also get the munchies when they're high-and it's not exactly health food they binge on. They don't call that tire-shaped ring of flab around the middle of a pothead the "stoner's spare" for nothing.

You Might Lose the Good Friends You Have-and Make Some Bad Ones
Marijuana use by teens-like the use of many other drugs-can make it harder to keep good relationships with your friends and family. Marijuana users can become loners or hang out with people who may not be a good influence, which means that if you already have good friends and a supportive family, you can grow apart from them or lose their trust.

It Can Make You Feel Worse, Not Better
Smoking dope can lead to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and paranoia-and those problems don't improve over time. And don't you know someone who can't do anything without getting high? That's because they're addicted. Sixty percent of teenagers in drug treatment programs are there because of marijuana.

It'll Get You Into Trouble
According to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, kids who frequently use marijuana are almost four times as likely to commit a violent act-against either people or property-than those who don't. They're five times as likely to steal. So smoking marijuana can get you in trouble with the law and result in later problems like not being able to get a scholarship or a job.

It Channels Money to Some Very Bad People
The people who profit from the $400 billion global drug business-and yes, marijuana is a big part of this business-are creep factor nine. They're criminals. If you're smoking pot, you could be the end-user of a product that may have been sold to help fund these people.
Okay, you now have the facts. Marijuana is riskier than you think. For more information, visit www.Freevibe.com

================================================== ==

I understand that it is very important to teach your children the facts about marijuana but these people are printing lies and getting away with it. In our efforst to gain ground we need to expose these organizations who are misleading the general masses. I expecially liked the "It Can Make You Look Like a Gritball" phrase. Please go to www.freevibe.com and use their "contact us" link and let them know what you think of their mis-information Fact Sheet and that we do bathe on Saturdays if the creek isn't too low!!! I remember my first joint. I didn't bathe for 2 months but that was OK because I hung around the other loosers that were 1 month into their first gritball joint experience. I guess that's why they call it dirt weed. Well, it's time to put some more tar on the teeth and become more anti social. See you over in the corner under the pothole beneath the rock.... if I can get modivated enough to lift it that is.
sincerely

Wow that sickens me.I see the commercials on television and they depict pot-smokers as very evil people.Ever see the one where there is a carload of black kids at a fast food joint smoking a blunt?The guy pulls out and hits a little girl on a bicylcle.That shit angers me.I got a statistic for free-vibe.Their commercials make it 5 times more likely to put a bullet in in the head of their owner if i ever see him.Godamn,ignorance,surely is a debilitating disease.I am going to "contact them",and let them know how i feel.

i want to know what assclown made up "stoner's spare" for that report.

[yocass]

ahahaaaaghaha. stoners spare. hehehehehe

[nicholasstanko]

Yeh damn man. Anybody ever notice that Hollywood movies funded by private beneficiers NEVER portray people who smoke dope the same way these gov. sponsored commercials do? Sure you have movies like half-baked with a drugged out stoner every once in a while but thats about it. They mustve realised true smokers would have called them out on their bullshit.

[U4EUH]

I've only lost weight.

I've never heard of the so-called "stoner's spare". I've got one, though, and not just for munchies. It's funny that they can make fun of fat kids and get away with it. Assholes.

The best anti-drug propaganda EVER is "Reefer Madness", a movie made in the 30's that portrays the "evils" of Marijuana use. My favorite quote in that is " and did you hear about the 16-year-old who murdered his entire family-with an axe- who was a reefer addict?"

Ignorance is disgusting. We need to hire some damn scientists that will run ACTUAL (not government-sanctioned) tests. We'll release the truth. Personally, I wouldn't EVER listen to what someone else would say about what to do or not do. I have to see the actual, concrete results themselves, not just "a test says that.." I'd like to see their goddamn test results.

i just wrote that stupid site an email about it lecturing them on they're simple lack of knowledge. hope they fuckin listen cos it makes me mad.
