Finally, a semi-honest anti-drug commercial

[LiveHigh]

I just saw a commercial on tv that was actually honest, for the most part! It starts out with a guy saying "I smoked weed the other day, and nobody died. I didn't get in a car accident, I didn't shoot anybody, (ect..). What I did do was sit on Pete's couch for an hour, you have a better chance of dieing out in the real world. Me personally I'll take my chances, call me reckless."

Though I did forget many lines in the part after "car accident" i still got the main idea out. I am happy they finallly discuss that it won't kill you, but I know when I get high I do have days where I sit on a couch, but I like to go out and do things high too. What do you guys think? Have you seen it?

finally theyre putting some truth out there, heck this war was over when it started, it will then be legalized soon hopefully

haven't seen it but i agree, i like to be outside and doing something when im high, it just allows me to enjoy life more and appreciate the beauty where i live

I saw that one, and it caught my eye for the exact same reason you mentioned. When I first heard, "no one died, got hurt" I perked up and was like woah! The commercial kind of got to me though, the kids just vegging out on the couch like that since that's what I do sometimes. I kind of questioned myself for a bit, then I packed a bowl, got blitzed, and forgot all about that commercial. :rasta:

it says they sat on petes couch for 11 hours not one.... the commercial is telling kids if they smoke pot they will not be able to move for the whole day which is bullshit

Good, it's time attitudes started changing and getting the truth out there is the first step. A while back I was actually amazed to hear a radio commercial for a hydroponics shop. It went something like this:

Dad: "Son, we need to have a talk about what I found in your closet"
Son: " Umm, Dad...um..it's not mine...let me explain"
Dad: "You better explain. What were you thinking? I just can't beleive you'd do something like this"
Son: "But Dad, it's just one little plant"
Dad:" And little is all it's ever going to be with that set up you have. A little flourescent light and dirt from the back yard. Those yellow leaves just make me sick. You need to get yourself down to South Bay Hydroponics. They have everything you need for a quaility indoor garden"
Son: "Gee, thanks for setting me straight Dad"

I was fucking amazed to hear that commercial. Ok, it was the classic rock station and this is the San Francisco area, so maybe I shouldn't be too surpised. But still it was pretty wild to hear an ad for weed growing supplies. Anyhow, I saw it as a sign. A sign that attitudes are starting to change enough so that something like that would be broadcast to the general population. It's the start of the de-demonizing of weed that is needed before we can ever think of legalization.

That's fucking hilarious. Can you post an MPp3 of that? I think I speak for everyone when I say I gotta hear that...

my favorite one was the one on half baked when theyre hella high and the kid gets the shotgun oh god its sad but funny at the same time

[Frivolous248]

Yeahh, I seen that, and I was like "HOLY CRAP!". Reminded me of the southpark episode, where they basically said "weed won't make you do anything bad or stupid, it will just make you feel good and be okay with being bored, and instead of being okay with being bored you should be learning a skill or something that will help you" or something of that sort.

The commercial isn't perfect, ofcourse its still anti-drug, but its a step in the right direction. The direction of getting high, or something.
