Pot is the gateway drug, if you stop some one from being a pot head you stop them from being an addict to a harder drug. This is untrue though.

Ive seen one in the states about coke.
They were talking about coke and how everytime you do a line, your brain thinks that you are actualy trying to breathe, but since its not getting oxygen but cocaine instead, you are thereffore sufficating yourself.
Dumbest shit I ever hear, seemed like a commercial geared towards 5 year olds.

Those above the influence ads are such shit.
Any kid who has ever smoked a joint knows they're bullshit.
If they would just be honest about marijuana maybe kids would respect them enough to take heed if they advise against truely dangerous drugs like meth, coke and smack.

Exactly, the above the influence commercials are possibly the stupidest anti-anything commercial ever created, seeing as how they are about following the laws blindly without consideration for how you may feel about something: "If someone wants you to do something, it must be wrong".
Honestly, they might as well put on the anti-drug commercail from Harold and Kumar: "MARIJUANA KILLS"

It's obvious...pot can kill. Just because you or I or any other avid pot user has never heard of it happening doesn't mean that the government doesn't know all about it.

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.

That is because they are advertising it so kids will want to try it more, a lot of teenagers do the oppisite anyway. That way they get hooked and then they get busted with it and make money off the kids off of the fines.

I remember seeing a commercial about meth when I was a lot younger, something about how your heart is like an engine and putting all the stress from going fast on it craps it out and yo can replace an engine not a heart and.....fuck it, i wan't to try meth now, out of spite.

Better question is, why are they only about peer pressure? Every fucking commercial that comes out is like "think for yourself and rise above peer pressure! Don't let others think for you!"
And I sit there baffled and say to myself... "I have been thinking for myself this whole time and psychedelics are for me! Why can't my friends think for me but some douchebags who are old and jaded are able to think for me?"

Well all of the ones I've seen are about weed. The major problem here is crack and heroin.. It's at epidemic proportions.
If people want to do drugs they will do them. Former pot head here... I lost interest in it years ago. I used to smoke every day for years. It just isn't fun after a long time.

No one ever forced me to want to drink, or pressured me, maybe weed..but I wanted to try alcohol and tobacco on my own. Also I wanted to try marijuana years before I knew anyone that had it or could get weed. So those commercials suck, I never wanted to be popular or fit in anyway when I was in school. I just didnt give a fuck, I hated my high school all geeky mormons and cowboys mostly.

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.

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

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.
