An Ignorant "Professional"
Speaking of propoganda, has anyone seen the new "above the influence" commercials? They blare them all day at my school. If you haven't seen them, they usually go like this, A teenager is sitting somehwere in the aftermath of a stupid activity, a narrator comes on and says "Yesterday, my friends told me to smoke some pot (I like the word choice in these commercials), then today they told me to (stupid activity.)
It's crazy, I took a business class last semester and we went over advertising and propoganda techniques, this commercial uses nearly every one of them.
They don't even say the "harmful" effects anymore, they don't tell you anything about it other than it's "bad". It's the real-life equivelent of "Drugs are bad, mmkay?" "Mar-a-joo-wanna is bad, mmkay?"
What I think is crazy is that they focus on cannabis, why? There are much more harmful drugs that I could obtain as easily as cannabis. Yet they focus on weed.

An Ignorant "Professional" Today some healthy living "professional" came to talk to my gym class about steroids. When talking about the effects of steroids on the body she said "Steroids cause men to get breasts, higher voices, and shrinks there testicles...just like long term marijuana use will shrink your genitalia. As soon as she said this i yelled out "who conducted that study on marijuana? and she said "its a common fact...now lets get back on task" Now this pissed me off because not only is she supposed Rating: 5\"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.\" - Bob Marley
