- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -5/+523The real reason no one has been run over by a pot smoker, It's not that hard to dodge a car that's going 5 mph.
- dotlizard, on 04/08/2008, -5/+375funny i just saw that anti-pot commercial that says that smoking pot means burning up all your accomplishments, your diploma, and your car. followed by a beer commercial that said beer will make you happy, attractive, and get you laid.
- juttman, on 04/08/2008, -4/+176Drug commercials are pretty lame, but those ***** Truth.com commercials make me crazy. If someone told me to kick puppies all day or watch the one about the "typo" one more time there would by flying pooches in the great lakes state.
- teriyakisause, on 04/08/2008, -23/+180I didn't understand what this was talking about...too high I guess
- smacksaw, on 04/08/2008, -12/+134That's not really a comic. It's a goddamned essay that someone drew some lame pictures on.
While I'm sick of these commercials as well, I'm also sick of preachy *****, especially when we could have had a punchline but instead got preaching. Comical. Not. - antiquiche, on 04/08/2008, -8/+103If you smoke weed you will make bad comics
- mediaphile, on 04/08/2008, -9/+96If your (sic) gonna (sic) write in English, do so correctly.
Regardless of your literacy, I still have no idea what your point is. Cannabis has no reason to be illegal, while alcohol is one of the worst drugs legally available on the market. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -6/+76Please, anti-drug people, I implore you - explain to me just exactly what it is that makes marijuana worse than alcohol?
- mediaphile, on 04/08/2008, -13/+74The real reason no one has been run over by a pot smoker is that pot doesn't negatively affect one's motor skills.
- Nysul, on 04/08/2008, -1/+61We have the worst anti-meth commercials in AZ. I don't even watch traditional television anymore, I just torrent everything. If I want to be disturbed I'll put in an indie movie, sometimes I just want to relax without having to think about gang rape and meth babies.
- orangefly, on 04/08/2008, -1/+57a friend of mine once got pulled over for stopping at a green light....
- bobito, on 04/08/2008, -5/+54I think my favorite is the commercial where the cartoon drawing of a man gets high, and then sits on a bench next to his girlfriend. Then an alien comes down from outer space and takes away his girlfriend. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1x0_6a_CpkI I must agree though, creating nonsensical, fact-less commercials that incorrectly water down an issue of relatively great importance to the country is definitely the way to get the populace to stop ever using drugs, and make good political decisions on how to deal with the problems the drug trade creates.
- thorn101, on 04/08/2008, -0/+48I thought pirating movies killed little girls.
- Smurph0404, on 04/08/2008, -3/+50I love the irony in this comic. It blasts the antidrug commercials for going after the wrong people - the users- and then proceeds to blame the freaking President of the United States for the commercials? Yeah, I'm sure Bush is sitting around all day approving antidrug ad campaigns, because that's the President's job.
- ReverendRodger, on 04/08/2008, -2/+46If I remember correctly they're funded by the tobacco industry as part of the settlement against big tobacco (which also included not advertising to children, etc.). So if you wonder why those ads are so stupid and infuriating that they make you want to smoke just to be contrary to that ad... *tinfoil hat*
- delrin500, on 04/08/2008, -3/+46Don't do those bad drugs... Do our Good drugs!!
Brought to you by GlaxoSmithKline, sponsorship paid for by Pfizer. Side effects may include anal leakage, insomnia, driving with no recollection of events...ect. - NaziHatinChimp, on 04/08/2008, -10/+52You are not free. Stop acting like it.
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -6/+47Drug plants?
Well, the poppy fields of Afghanistan are controlled by the invaders of Afghanistan. This was made legal when the Taliban were ousted.
Cocaine comes from South American countries that are controlled by America. Only the ones that are controlled by America.
Pot comes from absolutely everywhere. Because that's where it grows.
Then you have chemical drugs that are mostly made in Europe from cocaine and heroin derivatives and other.
"In 1986, Senator John Kerry and Senator Christopher Dodd proposed a series of hearings at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding charges of Contra involvement in drug trafficking; the hearings were conducted by Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the Republican Chairman of the Committee. The report of the Committee, released on April 13, 1989, found that "Contra drug links included... payments to drug traffickers by the U.S. State Department of funds authorized by the Congress for humanitarian assistance to the Contras, in some cases after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies." The U.S. State Department paid over $806,000 to known drug traffickers to carry humanitarian assistance to the Contras.[8]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_and_Contra's_coca ... - bjornski, on 04/08/2008, -4/+41I'll drink to that.
- tmanv, on 04/08/2008, -24/+58This was just bad...
- tsotha, on 04/08/2008, -3/+37Beer *will* get you laid. But not if *you* drink it.
- cablewires, on 04/08/2008, -3/+36got 2 words for ya: Bill Hicks.
- mentallyinhell, on 04/08/2008, -0/+31The only reason they say drugs fund terrorism is to get heat off of the oil companies.
- DangerCollie, on 04/08/2008, -0/+30I know. When you're high 25 mph is like SO fast. Whoa, what's the rush there, skippy.
- crampy20, on 04/08/2008, -13/+42wtf - this is an awful comic - i agree with the title, just not the damn link
- mediaphile, on 04/08/2008, -0/+26The most recent Disney-esque Truth commercials are some of the dumbest PSAs I've ever seen in my entire life. They make absolutely NO sense. I wish I could find the person that came up with them and explain to him or her just how ineffective and stupid those PSAs are.
- blahtastic, on 04/08/2008, -1/+27Oh my god. I don't know if thats true or not, but if it is they make so much more sense now.
- DeathJux, on 04/08/2008, -2/+26I think it was the BBC (or some other British program) that had a young man take a driving test, then smoke a joint, then take the test again. He scored better the second time through, because he said he was concentrating harder.
"So wrong it's pathetic"? Where is your proof? - MrBattle, on 04/08/2008, -3/+27why do anti-drug people have to be pro-alcohol?
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -3/+26Toke on dude, I was being stereotypical not cynical.
- dasmonki, on 04/08/2008, -1/+24How do you relax without thinking of gang rape and meth babies?
- VenDrake, on 04/08/2008, -1/+23I don't get it. If you use capitalization and punctuation then you are expected to refrain from using slang such as "gonna" and correctly use homonyms such as "you're" and "your" correctly.
But ...
if u don't then u r fine and no1 cares - ne 1 else c dat?
i can has consistancy?
** Throws donuts to the grammar police and runs away ** - ispellkonfusion, on 04/08/2008, -5/+27I've never smoked pot in my life, but I have enough brains to realize that if cigarettes and alcohol are legal in this country, pot should be too.
- solidus636, on 04/08/2008, -2/+23you mean, RTFC.
- Innagadadavida, on 04/08/2008, -3/+24I don't know about you guys, but it effects me when I drive. I forget stuff like headlights, stoplights, and speed limits.
But that's just me. I won't drive when I'm high anymore anyway, just to be safe. - bigdubbz, on 04/08/2008, -8/+29Legalize it.
- jjustice, on 04/08/2008, -2/+23Political commentary: 7
Humor: 3 - blackmesa, on 04/08/2008, -4/+25What a remarkably unremarkable comic. It just a generic pro-marijuana rant wrapped in bad pictures.
Look, don't get me confused with "The Man", but that just plain sucked. If you're trying to argue a controversial point, at least make it worthwhile. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -5/+25apparently you didn't RTFA.
- Buddhaismybuddy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+19Alcohol isn't made from a plant that would make the cotton industry completely obsolete. If marijuana was legal they would have to legalize hemp too and that would piss off too many massive corporations.
- RustyJ, on 04/08/2008, -0/+19I know the commercial you're referring to, the one where they all set their stuff on fire. That one really irritates me.
I have a diploma, a nice car, a good job, I play guitar, and I still burn one every night. Those commercials are just oh so accurate! - shakbhaji, on 04/08/2008, -0/+18WTF is "go big or go home?" That sounds like some stupid ***** from an abercrombie shirt.
- MisterEX, on 04/08/2008, -2/+20I love doing heroines. Hell, I'll do 'em all day. Doing Heroines - my anti-drug.
- smacksaw, on 04/08/2008, -2/+19Out of a total score of 100.
- LoudNoise, on 04/08/2008, -1/+17So it would be OK with you if your Dr drank 3 cups of coffee before he operated on you because it would make him concentrate harder. Or your Airline pilot
The nesting! It does nothing! - theworldisflat, on 04/08/2008, -4/+20Let's assume for a moment that marijuana actually causes the kinds of problems they claim it does. Now, how is that a generation who lived through the 60's - a time of free love, drug experimentation and revolution - somehow managed to survive and is *running the country* ?. See all those older folks who are now retiring from their jobs as CEO's, doctors, lawyers, etc... they were all from that era. Hell, look of many people we have in Washington who have done drugs (hell, our own president did blow). We even have Dennis Hopper telling people on TV about their investment portfolios. We could even take a step back further in time... did Reefer Madness kill little Timmy and Suzie?
Recognize these commercials and campaigns for the same old fear mongering that has been spewed forth by the self righteous for decades. If you want to use drugs, that is your choice - do the research, and always practice it in a safe manor for both you and the people around you. - epmc, on 04/08/2008, -1/+17Well as a proud Canadian I know most of the bud I smoke is homegrown. I'm just doing my part in helping the domestic economy.
- Zuljin, on 04/08/2008, -4/+18Uh, no. Marijuana sure does affect one's ability to drive.
- oldhick, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14Exactly. Some of us stupidly still enjoy vices and should be "allowed" to in a supposedly free country.
- space3024, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX1CvW38cHA
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

"Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law, seem to you a bit paranoid?"
