edit: I mean some companies metion things about other drugs like on their web-site or something but every commercial you see it's always about marijuana, never ecstasy or cigarettes or alcohol or meth. The last alc commercial was "dont drink and drive, or you get ticket" or a beer commercial that tells those fucks to "drink responsibly." Then with cigarettes the last commercial I ever seen was the truth commercial about M&M's and cigarettes. And the only thing I've seen about meth is to report meth labs...but all the examples of a high person or stories about people and marijuana are always seem to be put on t.v. for a good 15 to 20 seconds.
I think they focus on marijuana because the commercials are being paid by the government to help protect its reputation. Our government is supposed to be for the people so they create commercials to keep the opposition of marijuana high in our society. Its so that people think that its illegal for all of these bad reasons rather than it being illegal because the government can't tax it. This seems like it has to be true. Otherwise these drug companies would focus on way more dangerous things than marijuana. (if they wanted to help someone)
