Opposition's Lying Ad

[Electricspaceodyssey]

prohibiting marijuana pushes it underground - government numbers show more people use and know about marijuana now than before it was prohibited in 1937 - the only reason cartels and gangs can sell it for profit is because since its illegal the price is artificially inflated - if it was legalized the price would go back to normal and would be taxed and decreased the strain on our law enforcement, courts and prisons. the law doesnt actually prevent use/sale/possesion and no one gets ID'ed at sale

[muzzster1970]

why the need to be stoned at all? It doesn't surprise me that most of the people supporting pot also hold left wing political views. Something about being averse to reality.

Noted pot smoker George Michael admitted that if you have things to do, ie work, mortgage, children ,etc, then you definitely shouldn't touch the stuff. He's quite right.

[jordanlamonde]

FUCK all of you faggots who think weed is bad its all government lies to stop marijuana from becoming a economic boom because it would lower the rate of tabbaco smokers which would be a good thing, and weed has NEVER killed someone!!!

[o0ooloo0o]

ITS NOT FUNNY!! My brother died last week because he smoked pot. He never smoked it before and went to a party. He wanted to hang with the coOl kids so they made his smoke 20 marijuana cigarettes back to back. He began to overdose on the amount of THC he smoked and died later in the hospital from overdose.

I want everyone to know that my brother died because marijuana is a dangerous drug that can kill people. You cant overdose on drugs. That is why pot is a drug and pill drugs arnt.

[wtfnonamesleft420]

your are such a fucking dumb ass, i'm either going to guess your from the some type of government agency posting lies all over the internet OR your some loser that couldn't get any marijuana because your so fucking annoying.

If your brother died from "THC overdose" then it would be all over the news you fucking cunt.

[nhprman]

This ad is CORRECT. NO medical organization has approved smoked marijuana. None. And smoked marijuana SUPPRESSES the immune system, folks.

ONE organization calling for further testing (American College of Physicians) wants to do so IN THE LAB - not in 20-year-olds' lungs. They want to use FEDERALLY GROWN pot that has standard THC levels. They do NOT want everyone to just go out and self-dose themselves because it "might" "work" "for them." That's not medicine, it's witch-doctoring.

[o0ooloo0o]

which witch wrenched the wench doctors witch doctor, doctor sammich?

UMM!! i love sammiches! If any women (or young ladies (that is if your bleeding yet)) is reading this, make me a sammich. and email it to me.  Thanking you beforehand, which I etc etc...

Dear Partnership for a Drug Free America,

How stupid do you think we are?

[nhprman]

Dear Pot Legalizers: How stupid do you think WE are?

Stop cynically using emotional pleas from desperate sick people to get more drugs on the street so more young stoners to get high without the cops hassling them.

Pathetic druggies.

According to the American Psychiatric Associations, Cannabis (Marijuana) intoxication is an official mental disorder listed in the DSM or Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders.

Factually marijuana use has been associated with psychosis and it is not believed that pot is conducive to good mental health.

[jenn1ifer]

Tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and increased blood concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin from cannabis smoking would undoubtedly have deleterious effects on persons with heart disease due to arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries or congestive heart failure.

[jenn1ifer]

In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of emergency room mentions of marijuana use. From 1993-2000, the number of emergency room marijuana mentions more than tripled. Marijuana use often results in adverse health consequences to abusers, placing a burden on medical services.

[jenn1ifer]

The effects of marijuana use include: memory loss, distorted perception, trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor skills, decrease in muscle strength, increased heart rate, and anxiety2. 2National Institue of Drug Abuse, Journal of the American Medical Association, Journal of Clinical Phamacology, International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Pharmacology Review.

@jenn1ifer  even if the propaganda your spouting-its WRONG for marijuan to be illegal in the first place - ithe father of marijuana prohibition was a RACIST BIGGOT [name harry j anslnger] who openly created most of the lies we hear about marijuana today as well as many which could not possibly be presented today due to their racist, sexist nature - he (along with his friend william randolph hearst) personally wrote most of the B.S articles used to scare the public into voting marijuana illegal

[jenn1ifer]

Marijuana is an addictive drug1 with significant health consequences to its users and others. Many harmful short-term and long-term problems have been documented with its use. 1Herbert Kleber, Mitchell Rosenthal, "Drug Myths from Abroad: Leniency is Dangerous, not Compassionate" Foreign Affairs Magazine, September/October 1998. Drug Watch International "NIDA Director cites Studies that Marijuana is Addictive." "Research Finds Marijuana is Addictive," Washington Times, July 24, 1995.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@jenn1ifer marijuanas active ingredients in a more refined form (IE: cannabis oil as made by rick simpson -a nova scotian who single handedly cured MANY people of various diseases including BRAIN CANCER ( a cure - NOT remission) with cannabis oil) are known to CURE CANCER, they work by causing controlled cell suicide in dying/aging/mutated/cancerous cells and promoting the growth of healthy new ones. the government saw this for the first time in 1974, this is DOCUMENTED.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@jenn1ifer also the body has body parts meant to take in and utilize cannabinoids- these are your endocannabinoid receptor sites and theyse control EVERYTHING About you from your hieght, to your weight to your reproductive tract, bone marrow density, etc,these same cannabinoids are also found in chocolate - the receptor sites are in between EVERY brain cell and even through out the body. it cant be addictive since there are NO receptor sites int he medulla oblongata or the mesocorticolimbic path

@jenn1ifer "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." - Harry J. Anslinger

"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

-Harry J. Anslinger

"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." -Harry J Anslinger

@jenn1ifer "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

Abraham Lincoln

[jenn1ifer]

Inhaling cannabis is known to damage the lungs ability to fend off invading pathogens.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@jenn1ifer "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."

- Albert Einstein

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@jenn1ifer inhaling ANYTHING other than air isn't good for your lungs but inevitable, almost all tar and carcinogens can be avoided using a vaporizor,eating, drinking or internally consuming cannabis rather than smoking.

[deadagentdon]

No, Lithium and Effexor are far more safe... even though they may cause you to kill yourself. The Government is your Doctor and your psychologist.

[johnnm]

The ad doesn't lie. Notice they say smoked marijuana, and nothing about ingesting it orally.

[stevebelzer]

...And this add was paid for by reasonable people with compassion and respect for the truth. The pharmaceutical industry produces dangerous and highly addictive drugs- and people are still fear-mongering about marijuana? I'm a straight A college student, I work with the elderly as a caregiver, and I smoke pot to unwind at the end of the day. It sure beats drinking. It's bad enough that pot's illegal at all. It's obscene that a cancer patient should have to worry about being busted for pot.

[themakuta]

"It's obscene that a cancer patient should have to worry about being busted for pot."

Best quote ever. Props.

[jenn1ifer]

This advertisement is telling the truth.

[MidNiteR32]

@jenn1ifer

I bet you think Prozac is also good for you, and all those toxic government drugs. Go back to watching TV Jenn, and drink your tap water too.

[carloslee045]

the opposition is getting desperate. that was pathetic.

[curiousproclivity]

Quote mining at it's best. Cannabis (marijuana) can be used in over 5 ways that do not involve smoking. Not to mention the fact that 10-20 medical organizations support medical marijuana and patient access to cannabis, incuding the 124,000 member strong American College of Physicians.

[olliestottle]

rofl. rejects "smoked" marijuana. And what do they object to? The smoke. They would object smoking pine needles too. This ad is anti-american

[Omnikaiser]

Propoganda for the win.

Whoever sponsored this ad does an excellent job of pandering to the proletariat, the uneducated, and individuals with the gullibility of Bill O'Reilly's viewerbase.
