sebastianxy Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Just gotta make this plain...Watched the drugs=supporting terrorism commercial for the nth time and it just pisses me off to no end. If you haven't seen it, it's this montage of various children and teens saying things like "I killed my mother/ father etc" and it all ends with a voiceover saying if you buy illegal drugs you are supporting international terrorism.First let me say that I'm not a big drug user and that we all know irresponsible use of drugs will eventually result in some serious physiological consequences, like listening to Celine Dion.That being said, for the anti-drug people to take devastating tragedies like 9/11 or suicide bombings and then have the sheer audacity to say that some kid buying a joint or dropping a tab is responsible is not only seriously unethical but absolutely false.Where are terrorists harbored, educated, trained?? The Middle East!! What is the main (only) source of wealth in Middle Eastern countries? That's right, class; OIL!! And the United States is the number one consumer, three times greater than the average use in European countries. We buy it, we need it. It's what Desert Storm was about.Last time I checked, Northern California and Oregon pot growers weren't giving any flight lessons, and Mexico and Columbia want the US to grow RICHER as they can then sell more drugs. Stop this bulls**t about drugs and terrorism and be honest about it. Run an ad or print up a T-shirt with a Mobil Logo on it or a big oil tanker. Then put the motto "I Support International Terrorism"How about some honesty for awhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then put the motto "I Support International Terrorism"How about some honesty for awhile... just trying to make some more big bucks.........why would the government want the media to show honest news when it can twist and frame it according to how it best serves their purposes? by connecting a trivial thing such as pot smoking with international terrorism, i guess they are trying to make people connect the two and denounce both...nice try, but a little joint here and there never killed anyone.

Not entirely true...doesn't Afghanistan sell tons of Opium? Last time I checked, that was a drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, that was a drug. Actually, the vast majority of opium comes from Asia, most notably Burma. And very little of it comes to North or South America.

JonStephen Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Its the government......the same government that once claimed pot caused you to go schizo(sp?) instantaneously....the same government that will condone alcohol but will waste millions and millions of dollars every year to stop people from smoking herb......the same government that will put a rapist on parole to make way for a dude that has sold a pound of weed.....
