Default It's like they make them to entertain us stoners.

Abovetheinfluence is obviously not an organization I'm a fan of, its lost me a few friends due to their propaganda that paints me as incompetent because I smoke marijuana. However, I have a wicked buzz going on and this campaign of theirs is hilarious, I highly suggest that you take the quiz (I got a 5 out of 5!).

It kept me entertained for about 5 minutes. The whole time I kept thinking, they could have used me as a guinea pig.

From their website, a survey:

Umm...how about because drinking/getting buzzed is fun? Why is that not an option? Do all people who drink have to have some sort of ulterior motive for doing it? "Ohhh let me drink because I'm so desperate to look cool and interesting."


Anyway, I don't think the quiz is working on my computer and I'm getting ready to go to bed because I've had a long day of doing community service and my connect never called me back so I can't even get high before bed. Oh well. I'll come back and edit this post if I ever get the quiz to work.

They sound like the kind of "friends" you can afford to lose. People who are so dim that they buy into government propaganda are boring as hell.

Yeah, I don't like their commercials. I don't think they accurately represent what it's like. I think what they are blaming pot for, is actually DEPRESSION.

For instance, the one where they just sit around on the couch doing NOTHING, and the one where the kid turns into a bud and comes out of it as an adult wondering what happened, those two almost did seem accurate, but when you think about it, they're not... It's not the pot that makes a person sit around and do nothing, nor wonder where their 20's went, it's DEPRESSION, which I think, pot abuse is a sign of... self-medicating.

Yeah I cut a few too many friends who I didn't think were worth my time a few months ago, I'm a relative loner nowadays but at least I know those I have today actually are true friends.

Yeah I actually love those commercials, because it shows such weak arguments against marijuana. They make it seem like weed is some crazy mind bending drug. That junk is obviously designed for the ignorant, who have never tried it. What is funnier is that if people were actually paying attention to the message about not succumbing to peer pressure, they would realize that they are using peer pressure to get you to not smoke.

Hmmm I wonder if they would do one about vaping weed. Its a lot healthier. By the way it would be cool if your dog talked to you, assuming it could conduct a decent conversation.
