This is a screenshot I took and edited off an old anti-marijuana propaganda website. (Probably AboveTheInfluence.)
In case you can't spot their flaw in logic, I emphasized it:
Beware of water. Don't hydrate and drive. Or drink water ever.
ITT: discuss propaganda and why we should elect Ron Paul.

Marijuana/Alcohol/DWI propaganda

I don't get it... you replaced water with marijuanaa...
I just... don't see how that's a flaw. It's only a flaw if you make it a flaw...

Stop spamming your way to UG whore.
Anyways.
Ron Paul SHOULD have been elected, for several more reason than we can give obama, paul knows economics, and the free market system, he knows how the should work. Im, of course, referring to a post made, well, a rant, made HERE. All of which stated in here are more than agreeable, so if you read that, that pretty much sums up what i was going to say.

How the fuck am I spamming?
I just don't see what he did, I can't see why he would replace water with marijuana or vice versa, and it just doesn't make sense. I see no supporting evidence in this as to why ron paul should've been elected.
And trust me if I wanted to spam I could have at least a thousand posts by now.

This was also spam and had nothing to do with why ron paul would have been a better leader, because not only was he aware that he would know how to run the free market, because we haven't had one in more than 100 years, but he would know how to collect and gain wealth of our 9 billion dollar debt we spend almost yearly to bail idiots out of stupid situations all the time.

lol, guys. The top screenshot (minus the red underlines) was on an anti-marijuana website as evidence for marijuana being bad. They claimed that marijuana caused negative effects, such as "decreased driving performance" when mixed with alcohol. I emphasized the fact that anything will result in "decreased driving performance" when mixed with alcohol by replacing marijuana with water, something that cannot be more harmless.
Point is, the site is a load of shit, and the fact in and of itself shows that it's pure propaganda, in that it knows damn good and well that marijuana by itself - like water by itself - has no effect on driving performance.

I could tell.
Even as a socialist, I can't say I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul. That libertarian part of me loves him.

hmm... I think I understand.
And I agree with you. I hate advertisements for drugs when THEY lie... it's bad enough when the drug companies lie to you.
I don't care what people think, but i'm all for the legalization of marijuana. It's not any worse, in fact it's healthier than, alcohol or cigarrettes.
But even better would be if all recreational drugs were banned- alcohol, cigarrettes, everything like that.
EDIT: Looking back, I'm trying to make sense of the picture.
And I think i did. I think it could be trying to say that when combined with alochol use, it impairs your driving EVEN MORE. And since you don't usually only get one or the other, you get both, that sort of makes sense.

Most people get one or the other.
Only at parties do you get drunk and high.
