Are we going to have to make one like this for mushrooms next year, and then ecstasy the year after? Don't get me wrong, great idea... But I think pot-legalization tactics are distracting from the bigger issue. I think we need to attack it all at once.

I think doing it one thing at a time will be an easier way to start. But yes, the SECOND we get pot legalized completely, we make a mushroom PSA and march to DC!!

Maybe. My problem is that we legalized alcohol 70ish years ago and all other drugs are still illegal yet we look back on alcohol prohibtion like it's stupid and other prohibition like it's good. I think prohibition needs to be tackled from a humanistic, health, social, economic based perspective, not a substance based perspective. The add itself is good at making the arguments that should be made... But i think it should have concluded with ending the drug war, not marijuana prohibition. MJ legalization is going to be taken as an appeasement to real drug policy reform

.....yeahhhhhh dude. One step at a time. Of COURSE the eventual goal is total end of drug prohibition, duh
You think you can convince people who are reluctant to legalize weed, to just instead legalize everything at once? (heroin, meth, coke)
Good luck with that

Alcohol was before the war on drugs.
But now we can win the war on drugs, first we legalize marijuana and then, when their defences are down we strike.

If we had been taking the right approach all along all drugs would be on the same page regarding legalization. What we see with colorado and washington would have been the beginning of the end of the drug war. But with drug-specific approach we ignore most of what's really important about the drug war (health issues, criminal organizations, funding for weapons trade, adulterated products, human rights, etc). People haven't been exposed to alternative policy because all they keep hearing is "Hey weed is better for you than alcohol!" "Oh you're sick, we should have medical marijuana!" When they should be hearing... "Yeah, that's true. That is a very real danger of the drug... But if we look at the policy we have right now we can clearly see how much worse we're making that danger. Here's what we can do to make ALL drugs safer"
When weeds legal half the stoners jump off the bandwagon and quit giving a shit about the drug war and it's back to ground zero.

:-D
legalization would be pretty cool though, even though I don't smoke weed like psychedelics better
if weed gets legal it will become easier for people to realize they have been fooled and the end to the drug war will be a little closer, although still very far away likely
not that I care if psychedelics or weed is legal or not anyway... it's actually more cool when it's illegal I think, so not everyone does them... (see enough drunk idiots on the streets already) but weed they might as well just make legal
21 is a good age limit if psychedelics should be legal one day IMO, but I'm sure many people will argue for a long time about the age limit, anything below 21 seems irresponsible, I'm not even sure I was ready at 25 but on the other hand it probably becomes harder and harder to let go (and more and more fear the more you wait) would be hard to decide a good age limit , but holland had it at 21 iirc for shrooms? (not sure though), seems sensible 21 is about the time of college too :-)

Uh, this ad was from years ago. I don't think it's the one that would be aired.
Also, the "dear president obama" bit seems pointless. He's not the dude you need to win over, it's the people, the ones against it. Once public opinion shifts another 10-30%, they won't be able to ignore it any more.

America can't handle that. First we let them try pot legalization. Then we get them into shrooms and LSD legalization. Before you know it, they'll be legalizing heroin behind a dumpster.

Like I said... If we took the right approach from the start, they could handle it. A lot of people are starting to promote the idea but its getting overshadowed by pot debates. Legalizing mj is not a gateway to drug realization. It's a gateway to more biased drug laws.
