Above the Influence Commercial

[JaiPeur]

I just saw a commercial for the anti-drug agency called Above the Influence. In the commercial or propaganda reel to which it shall henceforth be referred, average American (actors) are caught up in a craze of affixing leeches to their body for an implied high. (Paying no attention to the fact that the use of leeches does have actual medical benefits, in my opinion.)

At the end of the commercial, the sobering message: What Could You Be Convinced to Do? is broadcast against a solid black background. The background dissolves into an image of a rolling paper and marijuana being sprinkled into it. Stop motion footage shows the rolling paper beginning to form a joint, but... In my opinion, it's the worst rolled joint I have ever fucking seen. Any cannabis connoisseur would laugh at the feeble attempt.

In conclusion, anti-drug agencies are lame, but their commercials are even worse.

you think anti-weed commercials are bad now?
check what the "message" was in the past.

it's the documentary called "Grass".
It shows you how weed became illegal.
And that how is by telling people that if you smoke weed, you kill people.

They repeatedly came up with new false reasons on why weed should be illegal.
Until they were proven false.
This is why I think anti-weed commercials now don't give any "reason" on why weed is bad. They only show weed makes you extremly lazy and following peer pressure is bad.

I like the anti-tobacco commercials because their theme is "Truth".
Using "Truth" as the theme for anti-weed commercials wouldn't work because it will show people that weed isn't a negative thing.
