Anyway though - I support legalization, but I find it a bit hard to support someone when they say that it never harms anyone. |
I've seen people in all walks of life who have let addiction ruin their lives.
Addiction is tragic, but education is key.
There's actually a anti-pot commercial by the Partnership for a Drug Free America that says something to the effect of:
"I smoked weed and nobody died.
I didn't get into a car accident, I didn't O.D. on heroin the next day, nothing happened.
(Shot widens to show the guy with two friends sitting on the couch)
We sat on Pete's couch for 11 hours.
Now what's going to happen on Pete's couch? Nothing.
(Shot now shows the guys on the couch in the middle of the woods with some mountain bikers riding by. Then to a basketball court. Then an ice rink.)
You have a better shot of dying out there in the real world, driving hard to the rim, ice skating with a girl. No, you wanna keep yourself alive, go over to Pete's and sit on his couch til you're 86.
Safest thing in the world. "
YouTube - Pete's Couch
Which I find to be slightly more honest, but unrealitic and hilarious since a lot of smokers I know are avid "outdoorsman" (could just be the Alaskan lifestyle)
Is this [commercial] sarcasm, or are they really acknowledging the lack of risks associated with it? They know kids are more educated these days, I suppose.
