If people want weed to be illegal, then why does the federal government literally spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy propaganda on televison to tell us how bad it is.

It couldn't possibly be because they want to make people aware of the dangers of drugs and curb drug use. No. It couldn't possibly be that. It must be something else.

You're right. Promiscuous sex is also dangerous, so I'll show a commercial where a guy bangs a bunch of chicks, then gets abducted by aliens where they probe and torture him for 10,000 years.

That makes as much sense as the commercials these days about marijuana (ever see the one where the kid is getting chased by a vicious rottweiler through a fenced-off property on a dare...because he smoked a joint the day before? Or the one where the kid had to get surgery for fitting his entire fist in his mouth and couldn't get it out...because he smoked pot on a dare, and figured he'd try this too? Or the one where the two kids in the drive-through run over a little girl on a bicycle? Or the one where two kids are sitting at home and one pulls out a loaded gun and accidentally shoots the other for no reason?)

If you're going to make an anti-marijuana commercial, at least try to be halfway realistic. Show a guy in his late twenties with no job, no car and no girl, living at home with his parents, smoking weed and watching cartoons. That's pretty much the extreme end on how marijuana can [censored] up your life, and it's pretty hard to blame it on the bud.
