Love this commercial xD

One of the major downsides to this commercial is that my tax dollars contributed to it.

I'm hoping that this tax money spent, would reduce your tax money spent elsewhere like Hospital medication when these people lose their mind... maybe that's one way of looking at it?

Wow. Sounds like you've been drinking the government Kool-Aid a bit. Is someone more likely to lose their minds getting drunk, getting high on weed or legal, prescription medication? You also say "when" they lose their minds, as if that is a given. Reefer Madness was not a documentary.

It all boils down to it being government propaganda which doesn't work. We had our little Drug War. Drugs won. The drug prohibition movement just isn't effective, much like the alcohol prohibition movement wasn't effective.

I almost agree with some of the message Above the Influence is trying to make. I don't think someone should base their choices on peer pressure. The name of the group itself is a bit of doublethink. You should be "Above the Influence", except for the influence they hold. "Be an independent thinker, do as we say!" People should be accurately informed of the facts and weigh the pros and cons. These types of commercials only list out cons. They should be promoting responsible usage, like the "If you drink, don't drive" type PSAs. Have a sitter for your first time, don't use if you have respiratory problems, don't drive while under the influence, don't go to a fast-food place because you will order $75 worth of food, etc.
