Anti-drug associations never focus on the good points of drugs in as much detail as they do with the bad points. It seems completely biased to be an anti-drug association purely based on the fact that there are downsides and comedowns to drugs, as with anything.

How foolish does this sound. One could set up say an 'anti-relationships' company, simply pointing out all the downfalls to being in a relationship; the restriction of freedom to an extent, the lack ofvariation. the list is long.

Obviously, you are thinking 'but in the truly ideal relationship there would be basically no downsides, and even if there were they would be few, and more than made up for by the good points in the relationship'
This 'ideal relationships' organic counterpart is marijuana, there are basically no downsides, and there are countless good points. Anyone who has a negative opinion of marijuana has either never tried it, or has had a not particularly pleasant first experience, which is to be expected.

They should state in full clarity with testimonials from users, the good points of drugs. Allow people to form their own opinions, before They force their acclaimed 'causes brain damage' and 'will lead to harder drug use' facts upon people.

I can see where they're coming from when they talk about crack and meth in a bad light, their cons can outweigh the pro's quite often. To me, that doesn't seem like something i want to be taking routinely. But people have their reasons. Whereas, with marijuana, it simply doesn't fall under the same category as other drugs.

To be blunt, i suggest they go home, spark up, put on some marley and re-consider their opinions on an anti-drug world.

People who've tried and had a negative experiance, more than likely brought it on themselves with thier ridgid mindset, thier expecting all the negatives side effects they've been brainwashed into beliving exist.

or thers a whole other majority of people that are competitive in sports or games, think that it will ruin thier competitive edge, and don't care either way about marijuana but are more likely to be aginst it.

you know what I'm tired of; is the whole "its bad to be high or drunk" thing. ok maybe if thats all your doing all the time. High or drunk is the wrong words, its more like they have a campaign aginst anything that makes you "feel good" we'll approve any drug as long as you still feel like shit after taking it and nothing changes.

i see what you mean about the sports thing.

something I'd like to add on the whole competitive sports thing is. Alot of people still believe that marijuana lowers testasterone levels thus lowering your aggression/competitiveness
stunting muscle growth.

I havn't seen any proof so far that it does or dosn't?

If someone can find proof that it dosn't then +rep for you.

its all propaganda in the war on drugs

if you smoke weed you will for a fact:
play with a loaded gun and shoot your friend

be pulling away from a drive through and run over a little girl on a tricycle on a busy road with no parent in sight

become completely demotivated and never leave your couch in your basement

grow up to still live with your parents at the age of 40

help fund terrorism

ruin your friendships

....................................... these are just the commercials ive seen i can think of off the top of my head that are anti marijuana

you have to be pretty stupid to believe everything you see like that... i mean if it was that bad then why would so many people do it ... with no problems accept getting arrested
