Marijuana/Alcohol/DWI propaganda
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.
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...
He either changed Marijuana with Water or vice versa, either way I laughed at the bottom picture lol.
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.
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.
