The commercial says that smoking pot fucks up your judgement. I really don't think you can dispute that one, sorry.

The commercial implies smoking pot will get you pregnant. I didn't know there were sperm in pot but I don't like it any less.

Of course, you have to be relatively clear-minded to have a logic chain more than one link long.

Some of you might want to contemplate that a bit over your next bowl.

Sad that you missed such a glaringly obvious message.

emmer · Post by **emmer** » January 27, 2003, 3:38 am

Nobody "missed" the message... it was a dumb ad.

The reality is alcohol, which is a legal substance (that kids can find just as easily as weed, if not more easily), is much more likely to lead to sex than marijuana.

The only message I got behind the ad is that it's pretty fucking stupid to place the blame for teen pregnancies on an illegal substance which is less dangerous (especially in this context) than booze which can be purchased over the counter... but what do I know, I only paid for it.

actually marijuana pretty much fucking kills your sex drive where alcohol stimulates it and also lowers your inhibitions.

it's not normal to smoke weed and have sex unless you would be having sex in the first place without it.. the drug doesn't effect your judgement or your libido.

Relatively clear-minded? Relative to what? I don't have to be sober to realize stupid fucking propaganda when I see it. The only logic chain you need to worry about is your own dude. As I smoke this bowl I'm contemplating on what sorta simplistic lives ignorant fucking morons like yourself live.

OMG someone call the press, I entirely agree with Kyoukan!!!!

Any yahoo that believes there is any reality in that commercial is so clueless it hurts. Marijuana does not make you do anything you would not normally do outside of consuming multiple dozens of cookies, or laughing at Benny Hill.

First they say pot supports terrorism, umm BULLSHIT, Terrorism pays for itself with opium and oil money. Then they imply it makes you drive like you are drunk, umm BULLSHIT, it makes you check everything you do 50 times, you are more likely to sit there wondering if you stopped at the last stop sign for an hour, than to punch the gas.

TRUTH is Marijuana is safer than Alcohol.

/sarcasm on
Did you know that EQ players are more likely than the general population to smoke pot, and that means EQ is a den of potheads, and therefore people that play EQ are potheads that means that people that play EQ will be raped, run over little kids and support terrorism.

Most folks I know don't do much of anything while stoned, veg out, watch TV/listen to tunes and eat. Now that's excitement.

Kylere wrote:TRUTH is Marijuana is safer than Alcohol.

Pot makes you stupid for short periods. Watch someone who smokes weed every day/every other day and see what happens when they stop smoking for a month or two. It's amazing, they can actually think at "full speed" again. It makes smart people average, and average people idiots. Not to mention lung damage & such.

Alchohol, once you sober up, the effects are gone. If you drink enough to cause damage, it's usually permanent. Brain cells don't come back, esophageal hemorrhages and stomach/digestive damage don't ever heal completely. And then there's the havoc you raise all around you.

I will agree that marijuana is much safer than alcohol to everyone around you. That includes whether you're driving or sitting around the house.

In moderation there's nothing wrong with either IMO. In some forms alcohol has some beneficial properties while pot has none that I know of.

I don't do either one anymore, no time for it

Tell that to the person on chemo, who can't use a drug that will help them significantly deal with the side effects of thier treatment because of the ill-placed paranoia on pot.

Truth is, I am actually in the middle on this debate. Where as I think we would all be better off if drugs were not such a big factor in society, that commercial was the most rediculous piece of crap I have ever seen on the subject. The audience they are trying to reach will dismiss this ad because it takes too much of a leap.

Nancy Reagan saying "Just say no" will prove to be a more effective campaign.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · January 27, 2003, 12:15 pm

The ad says marijuana impares your judgement. Many things can happen when your judgement is impared. They are showing examples of them. You can argue till your blue in the face, but you might as well argue that water is not wet. It is wet. And yes, there are many other things that are wet also, but that is not the fucking point.

Marijuana is a great low level pain reliever, muscle relaxer and has several positive effects on a variety of mental disorders. Despite the current legal situation of it in some countries, others have tested it heavily. I know one person who is regularly issued vicodin, and even demerol, who prefers marijuana since it works without all the side effects.

When it all comes down to it between marijuana and alcohol, a person can drink themselves to death, it is impossible to OD on marijuana, a human being cannot raise the levels required and stay awake.

Ogbar · Post by **Ogbar** » January 27, 2003, 12:46 pm

Mid, the point is that this is an ad, trying to persuade a market segment, but that target market won't be buying because the story within is not believable. Those who don't/won't use drugs will continue their path. Those who do drugs will also continue their path. And those in the middle will listen more to the laughter at this commercial than the message within it.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · January 27, 2003, 12:49 pm

Oggie, my friend, the commercial is aimed at parents and young impressionable children who's mind consist of mainly mush. The stubborn pot-heads who have their mind set on this wonderful drug, aren't their target.

Midnyte: Have you ever smoked pot? It doesn't impair your judgement. I would be far more inclined to accept such a connection if it dealt with alcohol. When I smoke pot, my decision-making process is not impaired or altered whatsoever, it just takes me longer to make decisions.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · January 27, 2003, 1:34 pm

Yes I have. It gave me a high, thus not leaving me in total control. Similar to what alcohol does to me, not as strongly. It still left my judgement impaired just like any substance which fucks with your brain.

My brother died October 30th, 2002 from a drug overdose. He was partying with friends, was too fucked up to drive, his friends drove him home, and he died alone. My sister found him the next day, dead on his bedroom floor.

How exactly are my parents to blame? I wanna try to explain to them that it's all their fault...because Matt's death totally turned their world upside down. I wanna explain to them how their bad parenting caused a 29 year old to die.

Edit: I used to get the same shit out of him, when discussing how harmless pot was. Some of you are talking out of your fucking asses. Pot is a gateway drug, when my brother died, they found cocaine, meth, and heroine in his truck's door panels.

Re-Edit: He was an ex-ray tech at a hospital. He knew the dangers of drugs. He saw it every day. He was not an idiot, and he was not a junkie. Maybe the shit that my family is going through every day living without my brother will get through one of y'alls heads... Maybe you'll keep living in denial. But if you EVER pick up anything harder than pot, for the love of God, think about your family at your funeral crying their eyes out. Think about your dad crying like a baby. That's an image I will NEVER forget. That, and seeing my dead brother in a wooden box.
