BAHAHA!!!
These fuckin videos had absolutely nothign to do with weed.
They had everything to say about peer pressure, and nothing about marijuana. Except the deflated bitch but thats more like some cracked out lsd trip.

Smoking pot constantly kinda makes you like that. I think though, that most pot users are pretty responsible in their use.

Couldn't have said it better myself. They make pretty good peer pressure commercials, but nothing directly relating to drugs.
I dunno know how you guys were, but if I saw that commercial when I was like 15 I would have been like "Damn I need to find some of that shit. The stuff my dude gets must be bunk or something".

No, your opinion is perfectly valid and you're not "living in an imginary world" but you shouldn't confuse your reaction to what everyone else necessarily experiences. Everbody reacts differently to the same drugs.

Yes, smoking pot once will not make you like that. If you use it constantly then you do become lazy.

There is no direct pharmacological property of marijuana that deems yu to a life of lazyness. True it might make you and some other people lazy after over consumption, but you still shouldn't expand and assume it does that to everybody.
Speaking from experience, almost all my friends smoke, but only a couple do it mulitiple times a day for long periods. One is fully functional and not much different then before he started smoking weed, and the other is lazy, but he was always like that.

I wasn't. The adds needs to say, "HEY YOU, KID, WAIT TILL YOUR 21!!! DO YOU WANT TO BE A GOD DAMN RETARDED?!?!".
"After 21 please be careful, don't overly use, don't drive stoned, go to work stoned, or anything like that...."
I would love to see that some day.

hmm, this is a good question! i dont think iveever seen an ad against anythign other than weed! wtf... its like they are sayin its ok to take crystal meth, aslong as we stay away from that evil ganja!!
i actually have no idea about distribution, but im guessing that weed is used all around where as heroin, crack, etc is more accessible to poorer neighborhoods? and since they dont care too much for the ghettos they ignore them? 
maybe its like someone said, they actually believe that its a gate way drug?? 
maybe they have their hands dirty in the crack business but cant get a hold of the weed business, so they try to stir kids away from weed so that they try crack instead?!! haha, thats what it is....

Has anyone here ever done a drug to try to fit in? "Oh man, I want to be kewl. Maybe if I inhale a marijuana cigarette Beth will go out with me."
Thats such bullshit. Anytime I've been around drugs, if me or someone else didn't want to do them we would just pass and no one would make a fuss about it. I have never actually seen or heard of someone getting pressured into drinking or drugs. That's just me.

oh i've seen people pressured and i've also seen people doing stuff to fit in and weed pretty much ruined my couple of friends (As in high school drop outs)
i still think those ads are shit though by the time kids get to the age they show there they can do their own choices whether informative or not that's a whole another story.
personally i really like the meth ads way more powerfull http://www.montanameth.org/ads_television.aspx

You can't blame weed for your friends being fuck-ups and dropping out of high school. They're just fuck-ups.

unbeliever said: I see a fair amount of commercials about meth. Partly because here in AZ we have a bunch of homebrew meth labs. It seems like every other weekend there is one exploding somewhere, usually killing a bunch of young kids living in the house.
Yeah, Lately in VA we have been getting alot of meth commercials. Like : A Guy in a doctors office with fucked up lungs coughing and the nurse says "Do you smoke cigarettes" and he says "No".
Then she leaves and you hear a voice say "Someone had a methlab in your basement and there's still chemicals but you didn't know"
Or something to that effect.
The basis is - Meth hurts people that don't even do Meth.

obviously these commercials are sponsored by meth producers. think about it. if it hurts people that dont do meth because of production related side effects, then just using meth OBVIOUSLY must be safe.
i cant believe you kids are falling for this one....

Where was i going with this thread.......ahhh..
Well, I was going to say, I bet these commercials prompt more first time users to continue using or to get more curious of the drug than they do to stop kids from ever trying to drugs......
