Oh man, where do I start? I'm gonna have to make a intro paragraph with my main subjects just so I don't forget them. The Truth commercials are stupid. This includes the cigarette and pot ones. The majority of people who are against pot are retarded.
OK, let's start on the Truth cigarette commercials. Yes, I realize that it's important to get the message out that cigarettes are bad, but Jesus Christ--it's fucking common sense by now! What really pisses me off is when they act like the companies that make and distribute them are so bad. They get someone who is really ill because of cigs or the close friend/relative of someone who dies because of them. What gets me is that these people are old enough to have quit when cigarettes were exposed for being very bad for you! It's your own damn fault!
Now on the pot ones. Oh god. They're are certain ones that are particularly retarded, but as a whole, they're just plain fucking stupid. Lemme nit-pick on two of them. The first one is the one where that girl hits that guy with her car and he comes back and haunts her. First, how stupid it is in the literal sense. The guy was wearing all black, it was night, and he was just walking in the middle of the fucking road. She had sight of him only right before she hit him! Now not so literal, how does being high cause car crashes? Pot may lower your mechanical skills, but not a substantial amount. Not like, say...alcohol! I know alcohol doesn't lower everyone's mechanical abilities a lot, but it does to enough people for drunk driving to be recognized as something that occurs often. Do you see "Don't Smoke and Drive" campaings? The other commercial is the one where the teenager refuses to go to his little brother's birthday 'cause he's high. I mean, WTF, do I really have to explain this one? I guess pot is supposed to put you in a bad mood? Oh, OK, is that why pot makes you laugh at things a lot easier and enhances your artistic abilities?
Besides the fact that the Truth anti-pot campaign's commercials are stupid, pot isn't nearly as bad as alcohol! Alcoholics are common, yet it's very rare for someone to become dependant on pot. I've already stated how much alcohol can effect your mechanical skills, which can be very hazardous if you're participating in certain activities. And on a less important note, drinking can make people depressed while pot can do everything but that! With all of this evidence very obvious, pot is still illegal and alcohol is legal. I think it's a small possibility that pot will eventually become legal, but I think there's no possiblity that alcohol will ever become legal. You know why? Because the alcohol industry is very profitable and of course, money is everything. This unfairness of laws cannot be helped, but what can be helped is ignorance, which I'm trieing to lower. Here's another thing that I despise. The majority of people that are against pot drink alcohol. I've already explained why I think alcohol is worse than pot, so you should be able to see why this pisses me off. They're still doing a drug, it's just not illegal, like pot is!
Now I'm predicting that a lot of people are probably going to combat my opinion. I'm kinda looking forward to it, I always like to combat opinions, but I ask you one thing. Keep it civilized. I tried not to be hostile in my above post, so I'd appreciate it if you could do the same.
