What has weed done for you?

[grace]

The latest salvo from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) poses this leading question, "What has weed done for you?" The answers, of course, are a laundry list of irresponsible and anti-socal behavior, such as stealing, bad grades and one kid who lies on a couch and says, "I let people draw on me!"

Will these idiotic ads continue under Obama?

 

Here's the script:

 

This spot is shot as proud and dramatic, with uplifting, anthemic music underneath. We open on a kid in his little sister’s room.

 

COUCH KID: I stole from my little sister!

 

Cut to a girl holding up a report card.

 

D+ GIRL: I got straight D’s! Cut to a guy on his bed.

 

CELL PHONE GUY: I left me ex-girlfriend 27 messages last night!

 

Cut to a girl with a woman who has been crying.

 

GIRL: I made my mother cry!

 

Cut to a kid who is being drawn on.

 

DRAWN ON KID: I let people draw on me!

 

Open on a guy sitting in his car in the drive way.

 

KID: I ditched my friends and let them find their own way home.

 

Cut back to shots of them looking at the camera and nodding with pride.

What Has Weed Done For Me?

 

Well short of adultery, just about everything!

Man! I've had some really great times with weed: long, drawn out afternoons over coffee and smoko; clear summer mornings seen through a haze of happiness and getting home late to take herbal refreshment.

Shit! What has weed done for me? Well, its got me through some hard times: emotional deserts that clung to life on tear-drops; through fun times and sad. Its got me through. When everyone else was too busy, marijuana was there. And She was there with perfume - the countless clouds wafting into my past. She's been there through the days and the long, lonely nights.

I've stolen time with cannabis. I've actually stolen time. I've read poetry and felt it. I've listened to music and lost myself.

Yeah. That's some of what weed has done for me.

Al.

geebers grace,

 

I'd done all of those things before I ever tried weed!

[mistyville]

I used to be manic depressive. Since I started smoking cannabis ten years ago, I have never been/felt better. I also use it for chronic pain due to osteoarthritis. I also know that I m more creative. I love being 'in the zone'.

Well at one time I think weed saved me from becoming an alcoholic.

 

It helped me give up tobacco.

 

It slows down time allowing me to cram more into my day.

 

It has saved me from having to use some dangerous painkillers with nasty side effects.

 

Don't tell the kiddies but most of my tertiary results were Credits and Distinctions.

 

Ask yourself not what weed has done for you

but what you can do for weed.

All of what Al said, most of Freddie's, and growing is an important part of it to me.

 

Like the saying goes, let them grow you

I'm with you there...weed got me thru 10 years of 10 hour days doin contruction in north queensland heat, it gave me my trade in carpentry. But when i moved to brisbane and my contacts for weed, the law took my career, my fiance, my self respect, my fitness and well being. I have multiple sclerosis and i wake everyday and cry cause all i have to look forward to is pain and misery....since i came to brisbane 3 years ago my greatest battle is trying to convince myself life is worth living but the agony of getting what MS sufferers call ice pick headaches (imagine a knife thats been heated till its white hot and then jammed into your brain, spine, legs etc etc over and over again.. the only thing that keeps me breathing is i swore long ago never to hurt my sister. And i know if i was to kill myself it would destroy her spirit. She is the only person who stood beside me as my whole family abandoned me (they didnt believe me when i told them what i was going thru before i knew it was MS) But my need for peace away from pain is slowly out weighing my love for her. I had a "mate" here but now that i'm on a disability pension i cant afford his help. I'll probably just go for a "walk", i'd rather my family (the ones who care, all 3 of them) think i'm a missing person than to know that i gave in and topped myself.

I am a controll freak I cant be in any sittuation unless i am in controll and know if something does happen out of my controll that i will be able to regain controll again... when i am high it slows everything down to the point that I am able to observe everything for what it is... and not the negative that it could be...

 

also growing pot has taught me to slow down and watch something take shape and help, nerture it..

 

Its wierd but a mate had a laugh about it the other day and said after you got a few grows under your belt kids are piss easy.... hope he is right

Yea i plan to use all of Rudds stimules package ($900) at the hydro shop to set up a unit. The way i see it'll help with my anxiety, stress, PAIN and just the general wellbeing that comes with weed. And yea shroomy i have to agree with ya its amazing what the effects that growing your own has on a run away brain that refuses to slow down. I'd love to go back up north to my alco dad since he was a hater but is now pushing me to start smoking again after he saw how much it helped me. But its to fuckin hot up there and it would prolly melt my brain......again
