Above the Influence Commercial

hahahah nice joint mannn lmfao

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.

oh.....my....god...i was thinking the same exact things.
also, leeches secrete a local anesthetic so that its carrier wont feel it feeding and that may be the sought after feeling.

I've only seen one good anti smoking add. The one were the guy talks about smoking weed with his friends, and how they just sat on a couch, how its not bad it just makes you sit around. He states hes a risk taker and would rather go out and experience the world. I thought it was pretty ingenious.

Then again they should start smoking some sativa!

I saw this commercial and thought exactly the same thing you thought. First I thought "What the fuck, how can you compare a leech to marijuana?" then I thought "If you're smoking because you're 'under the influence' then you're pretty fucking pathetic." Then I thought "That joint was so shittily rolled, I'm sure they could have gotten some stoner to roll it for the commercial instead of some dickweed that compares smoking weed to putting bloodsucking parasites on yourself to be cool."

[Kushh]

yea the joint sucks but imagine if it was a perfect joint.. then they would be advocating that shit and it would be even funnier

Leeches are useful! Johns Hopkins uses them for post-op digital (fingers, toes) amputations to increase blood flow for faster healing. They also use maggots to clean burn victims and infectious wounds.

I offered to stick my hand in a leech jar for a 7th grade science project... It was great.

dude that joint was fucking horrible, i bet it was rolled by a cop or something. even my first joint i ever rolled was better than that piece of shit!!!

ive heard of leeches being used as medical treatment in the past, but i think this is not about the leeches, its about getting the message across about marijuana. more fucking propaganda and lies.... just what this world needs!

I saw that one today. guess they never had some of the stuff i get. Kinda makes me motivated, even motivated enough to clean the house. some days i like to roll a big fatty and put on some good tunes and clean. then after that i get sit on the couch and watch movies with friends, if that's so bad then send me to hell but only after all the weed is gone.
some of those adds are just to lame.
