Ah, the official. You're letter has found its way into the Circular Filing Cabinet letter.

What a crock.

I know right man.. you'd think they could take atleast the amount of time I took to write they dumbasses for a half-assed decent write up. lol.

Yeah, I mean, that'd be the half-decent thing to do.

Of course when you don't have any kind of true evidence or any kind of arguments to back your position how can you defend yourself from detractors?

Personally.. I would admit to being wrong. lol.. but what can we expect from these people who have nothing better to do than try to make all responsible marijuana users and medical patients look like dirtbags?

More of the same

And yeah, there's been plenty of times when I've admitted to errors, but they can't afford to be wrong. If they are wrong, they practically eliminate their reason for existing.

I don't know why they don't target something really harmful...

like nasal spray, or allergy medicine (warning side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vertigo, increased chance of sinus infection. Do not operate heavy machinery while using this drug...)

Or maybe Meth, Crack, Heroin, Opium, Cocaine,

BAIL OUTS (Now there's a dangerous drug.)

lol! I'd be happy if they put any other commercials on TV for anti-drug... even cough syrup man. Seriously though, I want to see a pro-pot commercial.

"Have you ever needed to win 8 Olympic Gold Medals? Smoke weed."
or
"Need the edge on that food eating competition? Marijuana, the breakfast of champions"

lol.

seriously man props for that. u expressed my feelings for those socially inept nerds that make those dumb ass commercials and supported it with awesome studies better than i ever could have imagined of doing. im surprised they even acknowledged your existence i thot ud end up dead in a dumpster with a carrot up ur ass

so no one would actually discover the truth

Thomas Paine · Mar 18, 2009

nice rant there shepj. trying to reason or debate with these douche bags is an excercise in futility. I sure if they even read your letter that it was seen by them as a joke.

shepj · Mar 18, 2009

Thanks for the support guys. Since there are people reading this and supporting it, hopefully I have inspired someone to write a congressman or an anti-drug campaign or even inform a friend.

Nice work. It's a step in the right direction.

It is a good thing if pot is more potent now... it means less smokeing required (if that is your way of ingestion), and therefor less harmfull ingestion of tars and other unwanteds...

I would like to get your attention to a study available also on Norml, into the diffirent ways of smokeing.... the safest way is still joints and vapes... bongs, especialy those with water filters actualy remove more THC than bad stuff, leaving you to smoke more, so you end up with a higher ratio of the bad stuff...

Also out of the 400 substances in cannabis, a large part are canniboids... all good for a host of medical treatmetns... for some reason the THC always get focused on. I can supply you with a alist, posted by a memeber earlier...

aint nobody died from it look at all the people who die each day from smokin cigs...damn that was a suprising fact to read big UPS for sendin that to em...if they dont read it..fuck em'

ANC · Mar 20, 2009

They dont care.. their salaries are dependant on that.....

OregonMeds · Mar 20, 2009

They know for a fact it's all bullshit and an exercise in futility, but what do you expect them to do? Close up shop and return all their funding? Fat chance. The truth doesn't keep them in business, and that's all that matters to them.

LMAO You made perfect points Shepj and those commercials always piss me off, but the point is they get millions of dollars to make these crappy commercials, they know they aren't true and literally don't care one bit. I'd make a quick stupid anti-marijuana commercial for a $1000000. If you're sane you would too.

just look at how stupid their commercials are.

1. I have been stealing from my little sister since she was born
2. That bitch is just dumb I guess, I can sleep through my college classes and get a B easy.
3. That guy obviously has bigger problems than smoking pot...can you say serial killer.
4. Well if youre mom cried cause you smoked pot, than she needs to be on anti depressants most likely. I saw my friends mom cry cause she spilled a glass of milk once lol, some women are just unstable.
5. Was it me, or wasnt he asleep when they drew on him. So what does weed have to do with anything. If he was just stoned he wouldve woke up, when you pass out drunk is when you end up getting written on, or with a carrot up your ass(fuck carrots!)
6. They shouldnt have taken so long

LMAO!!!! You're explanations 'specially the last one are classic!!
