Don't smoke Pot or you'll get your whole hand stuck in your mouth

i swear i just saw an anti marijuana t.v. spot where they show a teen boy in a hospital with a nurse explaining that he'd gotten high with a couple buddies who dared him to stick his hand into his mouth and it got stuck. so the kid is sitting there with his whole hand shoved into his face.

is this the best they can come up with?

especially when I'm stoned off my ass!!

:rofl:

i'm high and my han izh zduck in my mouf

Ma bong! Ma bong! Ah cahn't youse ma bong!!

They actually SHOWED that to us in HS, the whole auditorium laughed themselves silly.. We thought it was a comedy :)

and trying it out with this young beauty I had my eye on. The movie gave me ideas. Never thought too much about grass before that, but then, viola, something very useful.

and I'm never stoned.

hairy hands....what's with the hand obsession with these people?

"look ma, no hands"

I'm so glad I wasn't swallowing my coffee when I read your reply.:rofl:

The Pagan Preacher
I don't turn the other cheek.

:spray: :rofl:

That would be better. I smoked pot and just finished one of my better paintings. Up theirs!!

from his party days perhaps?

Pot just makes your ass get bigger. Although, I assume that would make it somewhat easier to fit your head up there.

"Reefer Madness" ??

A '50's documentary about the effects of smoking pot??

If you haven't seen it, do so... it's worth a laugh or two.

*gasps with a 3rd year drama back of hand to the forehead*

What are you trying to say?? :smoke:

We just watched it again for the first time in years to show it to someone who hadn't seen it before. What a hoot!!!

I wanna see Jack!
I wanna see Jack!
I wanna see Jack!
I wanna see Jack!
I wanna see Jack!


Get me some REEFER!

A propaganda film from 1936 that has become a cult hit because of its dated outlook on marijuana use, Reefer Madness is the height of camp entertainment. Framed as a "documentary," the film is narrated by a high school principal imparting his wisdom and experiences with the demon weed. The bulk of the film focuses on almost slapstick scenes of high school kids smoking pot and quickly going insane, playing "evil" jazz music, being committed, and going on a murder spree. Meant to be an important and affecting cautionary tale, this dated black-and-white film's true value is in its many entertaining moments of unintended hilarity.

Actually 1938

Get "Sex madness" & "Night of the Living Dead" while you're at it. Lots of good video & tons of music there too. They also have "Power of Nightmares".

Dr. Carroll, the principal, was the best character.

"Now Bill, is it true that, perhaps unwittingly, you may have picked up a...certain harmful habit...from...certain unsavory characters?"

'Why yes, Dr. Carroll, I have picked up some new habits. I'm drinking two quarts of Jack Daniel's a day. I get an hour of sleep every night. I joined a group dedicated to really kinky sex, and last night I had my first three-way. And my new girlfriend says she's going to teach me to mainline heroin."

"But you aren't smoking any marihuana?"

'Oh no, Dr. Carroll. That shit's bad for you. Haven't you read the script?'

... hell, just about everyone I know in advertising smokes like a Jamaican chimney.

:spank: all of you pot smok'n hippies!:wow:

Why the hell can't they use their time (and our money) to warn about something that's a little more dangerous? (Like, maybe, poisoned Kool-aid, a la Jim Jones/George W. Bush?)

That's why kids laugh at these stupid-ass ads that OUR GOVERNMENT spends millions of our tax dollars on. The war on drugs is a corporate bullshit joke. There's billions out there to be made.

I can get BOTH my hands in my mouth.

This younger generation, I swear ........

<walking away, shaking head, eating a five-pound brownie>

What's up with these kids?

They lack ambition, that's all I can think.

I mean, some of them haven't even watched wallpaper melt while they ate the whole bag of Pepperidge Farm Stuffing out of the bag.

Or forgot that they were having sex while they were having sex. You know - with another person.

Frankly, I'm not optimistic for the future ...

DID YOU JUST SEE THOSE BIRDS????????????

Is it bad that I HAVE eaten a whole bag of stuffing mix, straight from the pouch? Ah, my stoner days. I miss them.

MojoXN

If it was there, it got eaten.

In the days before microwaves, we ate Sara Lee Brownies frozen, hacking at them with scissors or pens or just picking up the whole thing, peeling its aluminum pan away and taking turns sucking on it like a big chocolate Popsicle, gnawing at it like crazed beavers.

Those really were the days, yeah ...............

frozen chocolate chip cookie dough sliced right off the roll...

:whipes slobber from chin:

a group of us made the big mistake of smoking in the car in the grocery store parking lot.

Then we went food shopping.

What happened after that, I still can't talk about it, thirty years later.

get them back out again!

:rofl:

otherwise, it's hard to toke up.

And eat more brownies.

Chew on THAT! :shrug: :scared:

MojoXN

And I'm not gonna say where OUR hands wound up at!

These Anti-pot adds are SO bogus. What kind of person who grew up in the 60's and 70's can put one of these farces together and keep a straight face?

no matter what generation they are from.

My favorite is the old one where the girl is pregnant, and it's somehow marijuana's fault. How the hell did marijuana knock that girl up? :wtf:

"Yeah, I tried pretty much everything. Pot made me puke, Coke seemed to be an expensive way to get your nose and front teeth numb, Ups and Downs are really rough and make you sick as a dog after you come down. But Acid.....Well, I wouldn't recommend it as a daily thing, but *I* thought it was pretty fun..."

Having a parent say they enjoyed playing around with Dope pretty much KILLS the "Cool Factor" IMO.

I think it's ludicrous that they still push the 70-y-o message they pushed in "Reefer Madness". But then, I think the 2000-y-o tale about how Gawd came to earth and allowed Himself to be "killed" is pretty ludicrous, too.

It happened to me last night. It was touch-and-go for a while

adding that it was the most ridiculous, idiotic thing he had ever seen. The brain/fried egg ad, I think was effective. But this is laughable.

are Madison Avenue types. Very ambitious professionals who think doing some pro-bono work for the PDFA or the ODCP will look good on their resume.
They don't know the first thing about the drugs the propagandize against.
Since the writers are completely clueless, they come up with these idiotic ads that the kids joke about while pulling the tube.
"Hey dude, don't get your hands stuck in your mouth"..... Swwwwffffffffttttt.....Bwahahahaha!

These are highly paid professionals who come up with these ads.

Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other groups get a metric fuckload of contracting dollars from agencies like DOJ and ONDCP.

"One innovative solution was a partnership between PDFA and the
Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The concept called for
advertising to be created by ad agencies work-
ing pro bono through PDFA with the federal
government providing funds to purchase
prime media placements.'

This "innovative solution" has been utilized since the late 90s.

The money disappears by the truckload, but much of the agency work is done pro-bono.

Real effective.

:rofl:

I did that once and I never even inhaled! Luckily I was able to fly right back in the window, so it worked out okay. Since then I've straightened a-way up and now I'm living at the foot of the cross! Pot is more deadly that Saddam's WMD!

I mean, it's really just a mild euphoric that doesn't do a whole lot of harm to anyone, and for many actually does some good . . . given all real problems in the world, why they put so much money and effort into demonizing cannabis is beyond me . . .

That would open your eyes.

--IMM

Plus it makes you giggle.

I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means. A sure sign of trouble.

Let's be real here: if YOU were smoking weed with your friends and you got your whole hand stuck in your mouth, wouldn't your friends pull it out for you then give you shit about it for the next three months? Of course they would!

for the possibility of getting your hand stuck in your mouth. That means don't smoke alone, have some sort of lubricant around, and keep a disposable camera handy (for future reference). The things I learn here at DU.

my son is pretty smart, but teenagers, even smart ones, don't always have the best judgment.

My fear is that he's going to be smart enough to realize that we (the collective adult world)have lied to him about the dangers of pot and that he's going to extrapolate that to assume that we've also lied about the dangers of, say cocaine, heroin, AIDS. etc. Why oh why can't we have a fact based drug education policy?

When your whole justification for a war is based on half-truths and outright lies, you can't very well go around telling the truth.
(thanks for the set-up, it works on so many levels)

Our government comes up with unbelievable claims about things like pot and it is extrapolated to kids as it all is a lie, and given the already in place "it can't happen to me" mentality, kids don't believe any of the propaganda and it only adds to the problem.

Personally I'm not sure that drug prevention programs work (I worked in drug treatment for 10 years) but I don't know that there is an easy way to study it.

Thanks

I had an uncle OD on heroin.

I had a sister who smoked pot every day in college (and most of highschool) and graduate with a 4.89 and land a great job, at which she is excelling.

I have a brother who is an alcoholic who can't guarentee that he wouldn't get behind the wheel of a car dead drunk, so he doesn't own a car because he can't stand the idea that he might kill someone someday, but he can't stop drinking either.

Addiction is a bitch and there are no easy answers, but I'd love to be able to start with the facts, not scare tactics.

policy of yet another attempt at prohibition.

And, as we all know, we cannot ever legalize any mind-altering drug.

Reason and logic simply do not matter to the anti-drug crowd. It alters your mind, so it's bad. Period. Why? Because it alters your perception of reality, which is bad. Why? Because it's bad. Why? Because it's just bad.

Circular logic for circular minds.

I almost think it would make my job as a parent easier. "Pot is legal, but it's not for children - wait until you are 18 before you try it." Maybe I could get my kid to hold off until, say 16 with that argument instead of smoking at 12 or even younger.

Personally, I put pot in the same category as beer and sour cream - it's not that good for you, but it's not going to kill you in reasonable quantities either. I just don't want to go through the trouble of acquiring a taste for it.

Now a good Chianti, or a Martini, and I'm all there.

We all pick our own poisons, I guess.

The objective of our drug policy is to demonize some drugs while making other drugs okay to take. Pot is bad because it's not taxable and Seagram doesn't make it. Alcohol is good because it is taxable and people who donate heavily to political parties make it.

It never occurred to any of these people that...

* It is legal to make beer at home, and that beer is not taxed
* It is legal to make wine at home, and that wine is not taxed
* If pot was legal, nothing is stopping Seagram or Altria from selling it themselves**
* We talk about how easy it is to grow pot and that no one would buy prepackaged pot if it was available. That's bullshit. While it is easy to grow pot, if it's Thursday, you need a hundred blunts for your Saturday-night party and you don't have 200 five-foot marijuana plants right now, you are NOT going to have enough weed on hand by Saturday to handle your requirements.

** This is the difference between a smart company and a dumb one. A dumb company will think "this product will cannibalize sales of the product we make now, and therefore it's bad." A smart company will think "if we sell this product too, we will make more money." An oft-quoted example of dumb companies is the old buggy whip thing. Smart companies? Think vinyl siding. Every company that is a major player in the vinyl siding market was a major player in the aluminum siding market. They picked up the new product and ran with it.

so if your child comes home in this condition, you'll know what he's been up to.

that he did not realize his whole hand was in his mouth.

I've got to say that's NEVER happened to me in all these 38 years of indulgence.

Course, most of us just nibble on some peanut butter or chocolate, y'know?
Now on the other hand, this is BUTCH's brain (or what passes for same) WITHOUT benefit of drugs:


President Evil Online

while under the influence. Those are always funny!

Then they can claim that they're warning folks of the dangers! Of course, one incident over 50+years and millions of indulgers would indicate that even if true, it's apropos of nothing.

But, that would never stop these zealots.

Edited to say "And Another Thing". How stupid and how high does one have to be to put one's self through the pain of shoving a whole fist into one's own mouth?
