10. It's not "fair and factual". People sit on couches eating doritos, too.
The idea that pot "makes" people lazy and apathetic is bull.

Oh- and "..go ice skating with a girl"? Better make sure that's ALL you're doing with that girl, kid- otherwise, you'll run up against the other millions of taxpayer dollars the preznit is pissing away on "abstinence only" programs- trying to keep folks from having sex before marriage, too.

16. I know potheads who don't leave the house because they're afraid
of getting arrested for ingesting a fairly harmless substance.

End the War on Drugs and free the peaceful pot user.

I've seen......That being said, I have certainly enjoyed the outdoors, the wilderness and many other activities while altered......

7. Ah! The old false choice fallacy!
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 03:08 PM by IMModerate
I've gone camping, ice skating, and played ball while smoking weed. A wrote and published a book -- same way.

There are many people who never leave their couch and don't smoke weed. What's your point?:shrug:

Maybe that's the truth for that guy, except he managed to act in an add, while on that couch.

13. Wait a minute.... so what is it?
This ad is brought to us by the ONDCP. The same guys who said that if we smoke pot, we will get killed, become addicted and start heroin use, go out to get some drive-thru and run over a girl on her bike, rape women and go on killing sprees. Now that they know that bullshit isn't working, they try and act like they never said the aforementioned bs and provide us with the 'straight dope'. Their crap didn't work then, and it's not working now. It's like they've run out of excuses for fighting the drug war and they've turned to focus group marketing to provide more motivation. Next it's going to be: "Ok, so pot didn't make me lazy, but it's given me the worst halitosis." Give me a fucking break.
