So I've been smoking for about a year now, but just recently got into being politically motivated towards legalizing. My thought is that we are going about legalizing the right way but not in the correct method. Having debates and sending letters is great, but I think we need to get people to donate what they would spend on weed for a month to an organization that does advertisement and lobbying.

If we could get half the budget of tobacco lobbying or advertising we could probably have pot legal in just a few years. It is all about public image and weed still has a reefer madness image behind it. If we just told the truth and facts in a creative way that made people realize pot isn't as bad as people say it is, we could really get something done.

For example you could have a commercial of a family at a funeral. Narrator saying something about how he was a great student and was killed by a drunk driver. Then have the final screen be alcohol related deaths in 2008: x amount weed related deaths: 0 - then in bold letters Get the real facts. Or something along these lines. Sorry for the long post but I had to bounce it off some of you legalization veterans.
