Anti-marijuana Commercials....

...are funny as hell. Four commercials come to mind.

All four of these commercials can be found @ http://www.mediacampaign.org/mg/television.html.

Whatever
The first has to do with a group of young black males. While they are all stoned, he talks about how he's going to do this and that while his friends will be all stoned. I had to laugh at that. He's sitting there shitting all over his own friends while at the same time he's the one enabling them to do the shit they do. Keep in mind, he's the one driving them to the party and he's going to be the one driving them home. He's not telling them to stop smoking or anything like that. He's hanging out with a group of people he has written off. What kind of values does this guy have? Do we really want a friend like that in our lives?

Pete's Couch
The second commercial has a group of white guys sitting on the couch. It's kind of like the first commercial except it's a bit more emo, if you will. He's basically explaining how they're in the house doing nothing, he's more likely to die being out in the real world. They do the split-screen (I think) of him in these different locations and his friends sitting on the couch. In each location, he's doing something different and explaining how he's more likely to die that way than sitting on a couch. You're telling me, your idea of having a better life is dying in some random location doing some random activity. It would make more sense to be like the first commercial and talk about the positive things. But, how is talking about dying going to deter me from using marijuana when you basically say I'd be safer smoking on the couch?

The Conversation
The third commercial has a young guy waking up to a phone call from a friend. You can't really hear what the other kid is saying but from the reactions you can guess that ol' boy was supposed to be looking after the other person's sister and didn't do a good job and it seems they aren't friends anymore because he hangs up the phone. HILARIOUS! We all know this friend knows this guy smokes weed. And, he trusts him with caring for his little sister!?!? Who's fault is that? The alligator for eating the baby or the dumb ass who leaves the baby by the edge of the swamp for the alligator to eat him?

Dog
The final commercial has a young woman smoking some weed and her dog tells her that he doesn't like her smoking weed. WHOA WHOA WHOA. You're telling me that if I smoke some weed, I might be on some Dr. Dolittle shit? The way I see it, maybe that chick's dog is an asshole but I'd bet a pitbull would be like, "Pass dat shit, homie! Put that in my Kibbles & Bits!" It reminds me of the scene in the movie How High when Redman first smokes that weed and he thinks he can walk through shit.

Anyway, it all makes me wonder who in the hell are the ones who have the problem? The weed smokers or the dumb asses who come up with these retarded commercials.

This one on the same website depicts a girl sitting next to what appears to be a deflated blow-up doll on a sofa, explaining how her friend who started smoking pot is now lazy and no fun!!

lol relapse, that's nuts. i actually have a copy of mein kampf that i haven't gotten around to reading just yet. the way i see it, if you wanna know who your enemy is, you should KNOW your enemy.

bird, those commercials in all are so ridiculous. in my opinion, it all depends on what we're doing in the first place or at least have planned. if you're sitting down relaxing, of course you're going to be couch locked. you didn't plan on moving anyway. but if you're busy or plan to be, a good high is like ritalin - pure focus. i watched my cousin install an entire car stereo system without even taking a break while VERY high. he burned that whole blunt down solo cuz i was already zoned out and thinkin about life.

I love this youtube clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=sLmHL7YznUI

Much better than the one's we grew up with at least. The one where the kid blows his brains out always made me chuckle, even before I started smoking. What kind of irresponsible father leaves a loaded gun lying around? I'm all for the second ammendment, but gun safety isn't something to scoff at.

The Dog commercial reminds me of the second time I tried mushrooms. I had to leave the friends I was with because all their talking was giving me a bad vibe, too much to handle. I came home, took my dog for a walk to the park and could have sworn I was having an intelligent conversation with the bastard. I can only wonder if I was talking out loud, people must have thought I had a couple screws loose.

Hey Now, What a total waste of taxpayer monies, those ad misinform, then there followed by Bush beer ads. Crazy mixed up world we live in. Arlo Guthrie is 60 today
7/10/07. He says "were getting stupider and stupider every day." I don't think he blames the herb either!

NserUame, They really did that.. have a kid blow his brains? That's just sick. And, they say we have the problem?

Rasta, I totally agree. This war on drugs has failed miserably and it does nothing more than destroy lives. When you think about it, the only real harm that comes from smoking marijuana is in the form of shady street dealers that will put something lethal in your weed and police type figures that will destroy your home. Marijuana's never hurt anyone!

chrones, I say screw pete's couch. My couch is much better. It's a crappy futon but I've got a 48in widescreen HDTV connected to a nice little sound system. My glassware isn't all that great but I've got the essentials. And, I can roll a pretty mean blunt! Everyone's welcome!

Ohh.Word, that youtube clip is HILARIOUS! Thanks for that one!

killa-bud, I had to laugh at that Stoners in the Mist thing. Honestly, I think so many people smoke marijuana that others, including kids in high school and general nonsmokers, know none of that shit is true. Then you have those same groups saying how "effective" they are while you have groups like the Marijuana Policy Project who conduct studies claiming not just their lack of effect but potential to drive kids to smoke!

I believe the MPP. Although it seems backward, when you think about it, it makes total sense. If I know real marijuana users, even as a teen (and I did), I know none of that shit is true. If I know the gov't is lying about marijuana use, then the effect of those ads would push me to try marijuana instead. We see our friends who are leading truly decent lives and they are smokers! So, why not try it ourselves. I have friends who went from staunch anti-marijuana activists to simply saying things like, "just blow it out the window" or "I don't mind if you smoke at all!" Like the X Files, the truth is out there!
