Brilliant ads. The truth about marijuana must be spread in the face of anti-marijuana propaganda aimed at “middle America” … especially as this big legalization vote is coming up in California.

Excellent advertisements and considering the company that made them, I hope to see those ads on a billboard near me soon!
In addition to the first and last ads as well, Marijuana, when combined with heavy alcohol consumption (enough to kill brain cells, at least), actually INHIBITS brain cell death from excessive drinking.
One of the radio advertisements I’ve been hearing lately on Aussie radio:
“If I hadn’t smoked it…who knows….maybe i could have been….famous or something”
Yeah, cause there’s no famous people who have ever smoked pot. Stop lying to us, government.
Hopefully Gillard has the brains to see past the BS this term.

No famous potheads? Doesn’t the name Tommy Chong ring a bell?
These are my ad.. u can see em over at rigo14.deviantart.com..and the “company” is fictional.. so sadly u wont be seeing them on billboards any time soon.. I didnt realise they were spreading on the internet.. i originally just made for a friend.. well., its good to know ppl like it.
are you serious? on a billboard? there’s so many mistakes with these ads: no kerning, no tracking, no leading, body text hard to read in areas, element placement is all fucked up, pictures could be better, all around tacky. don’t get me wrong, i love the idea but this guy shouldn’t fuck around with photoshop/illustrator ’cause they suck.

The country does not need potheads running around loose. Unless the government legalizes the killing of potheads or introduce some form of “cash-back-for-every-pothead-killed” program, we must band together and keep this drug from being legalized. No, Its not dangerous, but I’ll be damned if I have to see one goddamn hippie smoking a joint in my neighborhood. Smoking is a disgusting habit.
ADMIN EDIT: Please ignore the trolls of the internet. They like to annoy people and that is their only purpose.

You need to get an education. Seriously. It’s time for you to go back to school, and learn a thing or two. Or three. Uneducated people like you is what’s fucking this planet up. When I read shit like this, I become a thousand times more grateful for my mother and that she DIDN’T drink while she was pregnant with me. Although, I’m pretty sure I can’t say the same about you. Hell, you were probably a crack baby! I say, we get the license to kill very uneducated and violent people like you…because people like YOU are the ones who deserve to die. You’re complete scum…pure, unadulterated scum. You and everyone like you…you shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the same air as the rest of us, let alone exist. So how about you get a library card, and maybe some meds to offset the mental retardation that occurred while you were in the womb because your mother was a crack head. THEN maybe your opinion will be WORTH something.

“you need an education” “its time for you to go back to school, and learn a thing or two” “uneducated people like you is whats fucking this planet up” and then alot about whoever you are talking about being wrong. but nowhere did you post any facts or even express any opinion whatsoever that could be used for proving anything. great job. i would say you accomplished something but we both know that isnt true. sorry. im not saying that your post above wasnt true or that your stupid im jus sayin there is a better way to get things done than flinging random insults.

Most Thought-Provoking Comment award goes to scumkiller for guiding me with care and concern, wisdom and facts, to see his point of view. Once I figure out what his point of view is, I’ll be sure to champion it. All i’ve got so far is along the lines of ‘everyone that isn’t me or someone i know and like personally should die’. But, you know, there’s to read into it, so give me some time to get the real pearls out.

Well if hippies were running around the neighborhood smoking joints the world would be a much more peaceful place. Instead we have drunks running around causing trouble and being violent towards others.
I know what my choice is.
By the way you don’t have to smoke it, in a cake or biscuit we can be smashed for much longer, mmm might start baking, lol.
Legalize it.
Actually we are run by people that put a value on education and moderation.

I love cannabis, but it gives me “hangovers” if I smoke too much. I feel groggy, my motivation and cognitive ability is greatly reduced for two or three days, even if I don’t smoke those days.
It doesn’t do the damage alcohol does physiologically, but just thought I’d point that out.
I’ve had to cut back blazing to once or twice a month while I finish nursing school.
Legalize it tho, and let reasonable people decide what to ingest!!! 🙂
scumkiller
yeah it shouldn’t be the governments concern what we put in our bodies. Look at Portugal! Drugs are 100% decriminalized. All of them. If you get caught with drugs, they offer you to go to rehab. The rate of people addicted to drugs there has significantly decreased since this plan has been implemented.
Rotatebilly
That is true, but the rates of arrest of drug dealers is nearly zero, not because there aren’t many drug dealers but because the drug dealers get away scott-free by claiming they are only drug users

These are greatt adds but don’t forget about why pot is still illegal…. money, big money. Imagine how much money the big (government subsidized) companies would loose if pot were legal, copious amounts of people would be smoking joints instead of smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, as well as the loss in fines foe drunk driving, being drunk in a public place and illegal cigarette trades, shit… you can grow weed in your own home or on a small piece of property, why would the government want you to be able to do that? Money …thanks for reading.
Jho
I think your right with cigarettes but a lot of people still like to drink when they smoke and im sure their dumbasses would still drink and drive and you can grow tobacco yet I dont see every person that owns a home with their own tobacco plant so im sure people wont grow their own weed in fact a lot of money would be made and I doubt that any would be lost

thank you. legalizing weed will not cause world peace or fix all the financial problems. quit making up excuses for you getting high. people smoke weed because it’s fun and it makes you feel good. that’s it. all this bullshit about “i get stoned and i just love everyone and if everyone in the world smoked it there would be no wars” is the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard. get real. drugs are fun, but they aren’t solutions to the world’s problems.
k
if it were to be leagalized not everyone would smoke. and it does have many medical uses. and even if it would not fix the financial problems it could help. many people would choose to buy it from the dr. or however they decide to do it. becuase it would be safer than getting it from a dealer or other shady situations. many people smoke as is and will continue to weather its for fun or for medical reasons so why not play on that and the government can make money at the same time. and btw some people on here dont have to be so harsh and say they want to kill people. you can state your opinion with out attacking other people

Some of history’s greatest influencers in music, the arts, philosophy and even politics were weed smokers. They not only thought for themselves but helped to change a generation. I’m not sure where you’re getting your ‘people who smoke weed can’t think for themselves’ information, but it seems to be based in ignorance.
Jeff
so instead you get a mob of ramped up drunk idiots and whores who wanna molest everyone in site
guys weed is illegal because back in the day mostly minorities smoked it, it had no place in authority type lifestyles, it also makes someone questions 90% of what we do in society a rather pointless greedy endeavor
guys who bash smokers are not perfect either
I live in a small Texas town, enough said there. I would be considered an outcast if everyone knew I smoked. But yet I have the nicest cleanest house, better garden, exotic plants and awesome did it my self landscaping compared to all of my strictly beer guzzling in-laws and some friends.
Their houses look like crap, cans everywhere across the yard, beer makes you more lazy I think and really impairs judgement your more likely to sleep with the ugly chic. Not only that but you can be a energized drunk idiot.
In my life the times I regret the most and acted so stupid was always too much booze, never mary jane.

quig
there is no addicting chemicals in marijuana fagget
This address is a call but also a question. We are calling for the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana. On the same note, we are questioning should we decriminalize or legalize marijuana. Either one will be better than its present prohibited status.
The effects on society between the options differ and that precisely beseech a responsible leaning. I emphasize leaning, those who favor decriminalization must not over-emphasize the dangers in legalization. Similarly, those who favor legalization must understand the importance of partnering with the pro-decriminalization movement. In a nutshell, we need a soft debate between the two.
Can we legalize then later decriminalize or can we decriminalize then later legalize? History taught us once a product is legalized, its usage mounts and the status is hardly reversible. There are different forms of decriminalization and I favor marijuana as a decriminalized controlled product.
Before going much further on why should we decriminalize or legalize Marijuana, we may need to highlight why Marijuana is prohibited. The primary reason why politicians prohibit marijuana is money. Marijuana is not very tax friendly. There are too many types of marijuana, some of them smell good, some look good, and some unbearable.
Governments have enough research information that understands most marijuana smokers prefer it fresh and natural. People prefer ‘free things’ or least cost and easy access. Simply put: unless there is some form of control, people will prefer to have it in their back yard or living room rather than from the stores. It will take away many jobs beyond the cigarette and alcohol industries. So there is some understandable reasoning to at least control it.
As much as I belief in taxes to governments and job creation for society; I also belief in humanity and the present effects of criminalizing marijuana is a systematic crime against humanity, especially to the black race in America. So the need to compromise is paramount. People must understand government need taxes to survive and government’s interest is not necessarily against public interest. Likewise, governments must learn to accommodate human weaknesses as part of public interest.
Not only do we need different approach to the drug problem but some strategic alternative options must be employed. As more ex-government officials, from police chiefs to politicians, increasingly favor legalization – it becomes a sign of hope but also worries.
Indeed legalization is better than criminalization but there are some serious possibilities with legalization. The gamble is beyond maximum usage through competitive legal baiting or advertising. Suppose the new legal marijuana industry cannot convince the public into buying their products over harvesting the back yard tree – it could be a big blow financially and health wise.
Legalization means millions will be pumped into research and billions in to marketing with convincing claims to attract innocent people beyond America. In this global village, we shouldn’t be indifferent to the plight of innocent children anywhere. The cigarette industry is a perfect example. At around age nine, I was legally smoking subsidized American made cigarettes in one of Africa’s poorest nation, the Gambia.
Today, the U.S government is suing the tobacco industry for “over fifty years of lying.” A prominent U.S politician celebrates Iran’s high cigarette consumptions. How many of us are indifferent to what cigarette is doing to the millions of children in poor countries? Marijuana won’t be no different, they will worsened the effects. If we allow them, they will keep playing games on the people and the very companies they licensed.
We must sincerely care for each other in learning, working, and having fun within the boundaries of Justice and tolerance. I sincerely believe many people can support marijuana to the comparable level of the so called ‘responsible drinkers’. Like alcohol, I am certain that people will abuse it or more accurately: it will abuse people. The things we cannot change, we must control.
By having Marijuana as a decriminalized accessible controlled substance means less crime and criminals; less pre-employment drug tests; less negative association with worse criminals; better research and education on the product and its users; better utilization of tax dollars to finance private prisons; less senseless “war on drugs”; less gangs and gang wars; etc .
It is important to note that misinformation by government authorities and the media is largely responsible for the wrong focus on drugs as a means to wealth. They are using lies to attract poor kids to drugs. For example, large drug seizures are bloated from its true value to the so called “street value”, meaning retail value. We all know the power of words. We choose words, including metric choice, based on reasons. They understand that wordings have effects on people’s mind. And by over estimating drug seizure values and the drug industry, poor weak minds will be attracted to the drug world.
I am not claiming there is no money in the drug industry but I am 100% certain that they are over estimating it on a purpose. I sold wholesale marijuana in the U.S for about three months, selling about 50 pounds a week. I knew people who sold lot more and other drugs. Considering the kind of mind God blessed me with, plus my experience, I certainly understand the industry more than many of your trusted journalists and police officers.
Everyday, I see people who legally make lot more money than the average drug dealer. If they had caught me with fifty pounds, they would have estimated it in the millions based on its retail value. The reality is I sold wholesale, had partners, had other expenses just like any other business. Wholesale is not retail, gross sale is not gross profit, and gross profit is not net profit.
Since most of our Ghetto kids are born poor and hardly have business knowledge; $1000 a week is a lot and may be bragged as net profit. We have a duty to scrutinize what the ghetto kid, the Rapper, Police officers and the journalists are claiming. Considering there are other important points I want to address, I will urge those who are not convinced that drug money is exaggerated to please visit http://www.mbioc.net. I will have a more detail article on it.
We have a separate project to help stop pre-employment drug testings. Pre-employment drug testing is one of the worse systematic discrimination in the U.S that needs to be confronted. By denying people employment just because they use Marijuana, we are essentially sending them to the streets to commit crimes. Then we blame them or blame the crimes on drugs, when we should blame it on pre-employment drug testings. I guess some of us cannot look very far or we simply accept what we want to see. The other project will be more detail on this topic. I still want you to understand it is originally done a purpose to filter some people unnecessarily. As we leave it unchallenged, other companies may copy on ‘innocent’ but faulty purpose. We must establish a database of all companies that drug tests unnecessarily to seize the practice forthwith or face boycott or much worse.
Black America is worse affected by these unnecessary tests. Life is a distinctive test from collective tests. We must focus on the distinctive aspect without ignoring the collective aspect. Due to power distribution, every God’s choice, including race, comes with some forms of strength and weaknesses. Between God’s choices, including race: we ought to appreciate each other’s blessings without worshiping and help improve each other’s challenges with learning, tolerance, and contentment. The above boundaries are highly significant. Appreciate! Not worship, nor demean. Improve! Not despise, nor ignore. We cannot be good or bad based on any of God’s choices.
In general, we can reasonably claim blacks are more attracted to marijuana as white people are more attracted to alcohol. Those of you who disagree can visit http://www.mbioc.net where I will substantiate it with examples and performable tests. Rather than confrontations, we should accept reality and find a compromise for the common good.
The reason why alcohol was prohibited in the U.S was partly money and the reason why marijuana is still prohibited in the U.S is grossly money. As too many white kids were turned criminals due to alcohol, some smart white people chose a different way of making money through alcohol without mass jailing of mistaken white kids. Today, every smart mind will admit the dangers of marijuana
… Its prevalence and negative effects affect America at large but more so black America. We must revisit that compromise ground that may involve some level of gambling. We have seen a racially divided America on as little as the O.J Simpson case. This issue will be no different, at least at some point. The good news is there are many ‘Mr. Pat Robertsons’ who will understand this is more about Justice than race. The millions of white Americans who smoke Marijuana will understand it is more about Justice than race. Like numerous white people helped abolished slavery and fought for the civil rights under-achievements – many non-smoking black and white people will understand this is more about Justice and tolerance than anything. On the other side, the fewer evil men will focus or shift the debate on the secondary issues by trading blames and looking for faulty wordings. No matter what they say or do, let us to stay focus with the conviction that evolution and statistics will justify our standing.
My appeal to Black America is to understand that: Freedom is something you ask and/or fight for. It is never given on a platter by the oppressors. So gently ask and smartly fight for your dues. There are different kinds and levels of fights. I am not asking anyone to take on the street for rioting, at least not at the moment. Marijuana is not necessarily a black thing. Smoking it does not make you black or any blacker. God knows why he seemingly made our children more attracted to it for testing purpose. Perhaps we will be rewarded more than others if we abstain from it or we may receive less punishment by using it. Just as we may ask why God make men weaker to women in respect to sex? The debate can be long but the responsibility to control ourselves has very little to do with what society accepts or condemns. It is a distinctive test from collective tests.
Incomparable to God’s laws, human laws must not be rigidly worshiped. When the effects of laws produce worse than what they are meant to rectify – it is naturally wise to revisit those laws with alternative corrections. The laws are made for man, not man for laws. The war on drugs has woefully failed in America because: S/he who does not tolerate deserves the intolerable to learn to appreciate the tolerable. Decriminalizing marijuana is wiser for humanitarian reasons and perhaps even financially.
Ask yourself what percentage of white kids suffered before white America said enough on prohibition? A Similar percentage of white kids may be suffering to prompt the ‘Pat Robertsons’ to have compassion. Ask yourself what percentage of black America is suffering due to the criminalization of marijuana? The fewer evil men are content with latter. Beyond America, look at Portugal, Netherlands, Canada and many other countries. Canada has comparable marijuana problems as the U.S, less the crime rate. How Canada managed it with lesser crime rate is something you should borrow, improve, and cherish more than basketball and hockey. Marijuana is so prevalent in Canada that some conservative American politicians repeatedly blame Canada as part of America’s drug problem. Marijuana is essentially decriminalized in Canada, the police literally ignore it here. We are just afraid to formalize it because the U.S may punish us; as about eighty percent of Canada’s economy is said to be somehow linked with the U.S. We even had a political party called the Marijuana party of Canada but its founder Mr Blair Longley was eventually extradited to the U.S.
After this publication, America may order Canada to send me back to Africa or simply assassinate me. Canada has already punished me for standing up against America’s evil but I am not afraid. I believe in Justice and will continue to stand for Justice. Thinkers are not the problem, we are the solution. You have frowned at my publications before Portugal started what you are seemingly interested in. Here is an interesting recent publication I took from the Associated press through yahoo.
I read: “Now, The united States, which has waged a 40 year, $1 trillion war on drugs, is looking for answers in tiny Portugal, which is reaping the benefits of what once looked like a dangerous gamble. White house drug czar Gil Kerlikowske visited Portugal in September to learn about its drug reforms, and other countries –including Norway, Danmark, Australia, and Peru – have taken interest, too.
“The disasters that were predicted by critics didn’t happen,” Said university of Kent professor Alex Stevens, who has studied Portugal’s program. “The answers are simple: provide treatment”.
Read carefully between the lines and don’t be fooled by their ostensible interest to learn. The U.S is there to study what to criticize than what to learn from. And unless we fight diligently, the media will likely justify their excuses. Another interesting information by the writer, referring to Portugal, he said: “An estimated 100,000 people -an astonishing one percent of the population were addicted to illegal drugs. So like anyone with little to lose, the Portuguese took a risky leap. They decriminalized the use of all drugs in a groundbreaking law in 2000.”
Well, I guess if one percent is the new astonishing threshold to warrant efforts, then we should try really hard to prove one percent of the white house may be using marijuana. What percentage of America is using Marijuana and at what percentage will America consider serious efforts of alternative options?
With God’s special help, we can win with ease. But under normal circumstances, we have a tough fight ahead. We can justify the need to decriminalize marijuana in the U.S through thinking, history, and other countries as examples. Concern citizens beyond race and political affliation should iniate a solid movement with aspiring action plans. Every three months, we need something new on our action plans beyond debating about it. We need solid action plans, secretly and openly. Secretly, because we will be against multi-billion dollar industries, a brutal government, and special interest groups who will be against us secretly and openly. We need God. We need many smart minds and brave hearts to expedite our victory. Thanks for your interest and I hope you will share this valuable information with at least hundred people. The topics mentioned will be detailed separately with substantiated examples on http://www.mbioc.net until we establish the leadership team and its web site. May God bless all Justice lovers. May God bless Showlove Trinity: Let’s learn, let’s work, let’s have fun.
You have made quite a few great points. Although, there is no way Canada will deport you or America assassinate you. What would be accomplished by that?

Just gotta say…the ignorant people of the world like quite a few who posted on here piss me off more than anything. The legalization of marijuana would benefit this country much more than it would hurt and people who deny that fact are simply brainwashed by the government. Weed is bad has been enforced for years. It’s going to take a lot to change the ignorant people of the world. Not a few ads. But frankly, why would someone look at a website that says “I love weed” in the title? Get the fuck off our site if you don’t like it. Assholes.
holy shit he/they fucked up the execution, rigo14/whatever studio should invest in some graphic design classes. at least outline/stroke the text rogen’s mock ad. and god damn, slanted body text is tacky if you’re going with a serious topic.
One of the more impressive blogs Ive seen. Thanks so much for keeping the internet classy for a change. Youve got style, class, bravado. I mean it. Please keep it up because without the internet is definitely lacking in intelligence.

Articles that cause my brain cells to activate are perfect for me. Your views gave me plenty to think about and consider. Thank you for interesting and thought-provoking reading material.
this was very interesting. BUT some of negative comments on here are practically physically repulsive. I dont think i have personally seen this much hate expressed to even murderers. REALLY shows what kind of society we live in nowadays. and i dont see why its necessary to take time to express hate to someone else like this when instead you could express love towards something you desire to help. thats something some of you could learn from.
People only write hateful things about marijuana b/c they’ve never tried it before & so they are miserable…& misery loves company. Light up & be happy.
Um scumkiller u r dumb u basically said u thought u deserved to die since u think all violent people should die and u r clearly showing a want to be violent also um pot smoker generally r the opposite of violent theyd rather hug u and share a joint then harm u in addition it is my opinion that u r very stupid ignorant and mean hearted i hope noone ever speak such hate or comits such cruelness to u as I’m sure u have to others
Think of it this way, if the government were to legalize it and put a $10 a pack tax on it… Now, let the growers sell it for $20 a pack. This would make the total price $30 and the pot smokers would still be getting a good deal as they would get more than $30 gets them now.
Now, back to the tax part. If only 1 million people across our great nation smoked 1 pack a week that would mean that the government would take in 10 million dollars a week x 52 weeks in the year = 520 million dollars a year in revenue that could be put straight towards the national debt.
Now you know as well as I do that the 1 million pot smokers across the country is a very very low estimate. Our country could wipe out it’s national debt in record time and be beholding to NO ONE!
Plus the fact that sales in bakeries and other comfort foods would spike like nobody’s business. Maybe now you see that it would indeed be a boon to the country.
If you’re worried that people will get on the roads and cause accidents, well they’ve been on the roads for years and the accident rates for people on Marijuana are far lower than the rates for people who’ve been drinking.
Now you may say to yourself that this guy is highly rational and puts forth a damn good argument for the legalization of Marijuana. Well guess what, I’ve been a pot smoker for over 30 years and have 3 College Degrees, 1 in factory automation and 2 in the Computer Sciences.
How many of you who are against the legalization of Marijuana can say the same??
42O
thats a “damn good argument ?”
I smoked two blunts to my face this morning and i could come up with a better opening & closing that that Mr. Gates . possibly go back for another degree , you did not lean enough the first time .
so… you spent a lot of time in community college and still can’t come up with an articulate, logical argument?

well every video ive shown say that statistics show blah blah blah but never is oproved by the FDA the only thing that is actually proven is that your brain works harder when you are high marijuana can have long term effects on teens because there brains are still developing but even then you would have to be an every day user for the effects to even be minnor THC dosent kill brain cells itself but smoking it and especilly holding in hits for a long period of time cuts of oxgen to your brain thous killing numerus braincells every second smoke off of any substance has what is called cancer causing chemicals but i use that term loosley cause anything causes cancer these days yes marijuana is reported to be less harmful to your lungs then cigerretes but the idea is to take big hithits and hold them in to get the desired effect in doing so it makes marijuana just as harmful as cigerretes or worse alcohol dose in fact kill braincells and is bad for your kidney and liver and honestly i have no idea why it is even legal they say you are impaired under the influence of drugs and acohol in some cases this may be true but have you ever lost control blacked out or couldent remember what happed when you were high? dont get me wrong you may do somthing stupid on marajuana but its usally somthing you would do sober or thought about doing anyway many people have woke up next to a stranger or wake up in jail cause they were but naked in public some even lose there virginity have sex with same gender and some even get raped acohol and drivin is the number one cause of death not in the united states but around the globe you may see crashes from pple that were high but its probally cause they wernt a good driver in the first place legalization would probally help in many ways for example i know many minors that drink just because its popular if weed was legal maybey ppl would stop drinking and ppl would sit around laugh and reminice and as an experianced user most likaly ppl would stay in there homes thous promoting that it would infact reduce vilence and crime wich would also make room for ppl that do actual crimes like killing and steeling and im sorry but having fun should not be illigal now it wouldent be bad to have a limit to how much you use because addiction is a problem in this world but any one that has ever used marijuana knows that it opens up cretivity in the mind some of the best things in the world created while high im fifteen years old and ive been to impateint and outpatient numorous for drugs and addiction but marijuana is the least of the goverments problem right now so just legalize it so stupid ppl like me will shut up and so ppl around the world can descover a happiness they didnt know they had

That is all two sentences. Please learn to use punctuation — it allows people to understand you, without burning out brain cells trying to make sense of that random stream of words.

You clearly haven’t learned yet that our brain forms new braincells throughout our lives…. so yeah…. your argument is moot.
Jeff, take some advice from an old man who’s been puff’n since before we kicked Nixxon’s corrupt ass out of office.
1. STAY IN SCHOOL! Your English usage is pitiful, your spelling and punctuation are not even close to high-school level. Unless you’re in Alabama or Mississippi. You’re going to have a tough time in life if you can’t express yourself properly in your own native language. If you put your comment into Google Translate, it would probably blue-screen and give you a memory stacking error. Seriously, kid. Learn to write.
2. WTF are you doing smoking tree at 15 years old??? You’re not killing brain cells, you’re not killing your lungs, but you ARE making all kinds of stoned, hormone-enhanced teenage choices that will affect you for the rest of your life. Don’t be a schmuck. Smoke on Saturdays, so you’ll be able to do your weekend homework with a clear mind, and you won’t end up flipping burgers or cleaning bathrooms. But do not smoke tree on school nights. What do your parents think about your getting high at 15?
3. If you check this page, you’ll see what we’re doing in the State of Washington, where we already have a pretty liberal legal medical marijuana law – RCW 69.51, but we’re trying to make it SAFE and legal, accent on SAFE: http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2012/06/wa_heres_a_way_to_collect_legalization_signatures.php
I’m not reprimanding you — I don’t know you, you’re not my kid, and aside from the fact that you’re another living human being I don’t care what you do personally, as long as it doesn’t affect my life. But you don’t want to screw up yours before you’re even old enough to know what life’s about.
I was talking to a fairly well educated person about Cannabis the other day. His take on Cannabis sounded like the governments. I mentioned a few facts about how much the governments war cost us and how many people are arrested every year and have their lives ruined. He was parroting the government ads about how dangerous it was. I told him there have been zero deaths due to cannabis and that even aspirin didn’t have that kind of record. He said that people who smoke cannabis don’t have ambition. I mentioned that the current president and a couple of other presidents were users not to mention people like Carl Sagan, Steve Jobs and many many other people who changed the world have used Cannabis.
He thought about what I had said and He came up with, well I know of people who use it and they don’t work. I told him I know people who don’t work for whatever reason and they don’t use cannabis. I mentioned that I also know people who smoke who are lawyers, doctors and engineers. I went on to tell him about how Harry Anslinger needed a new prohibition and was in bed with Hearst and Dupont to outlaw Hemp for their own selfish reasons. How He used blatant disgusting racism and propaganda to get his way. He could not believe it but said he would read up on it.
Take some time to educate people on the facts even those that you think are smart enough to sift through the lies. That is how we will win the war, by educating others. We are reaching a crucial balancing point for legalization and when people know the truth they realize the government propaganda has all been a lie. These posters are great!

As a long term patient of Fibromyalgia, all I can say is, that medical marijuana gives me much more relief of my pain, than all the medicaments I have to take on a daily basis.

alcohol is a million times worse than weed, alcohol causes more deaths from both the danger in driving while under the influence and from the fact that it destroys liver. weed is essentially harmless! if alcohol is legal then marijuana should obviously be legal! in every state not just the 3 or 4 that it is legal in now!
richie
marijuana if anything makes most people better drivers, it makes you more cautious and relaxed. i drive like a little old lady when im high as do most of my friends who smoke!
Devin
Is it legal to print and distribute these posters to people?
If not, how can I get permission?
Thanks.
Devin Gagliardo
Who owns the rights to these posters?
I would like to print them off and give them to people, but I don’t want to break the law. How can I get the proper permission?
Thanks.
