Successful pot smokers?



The latest absurdity to come out of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is an anti-pot PR campaign with the motto, “Hey, not trying to be your mom, but there aren’t many jobs out there for potheads.”

The first three ads suggest that drug users can look forward to a career as a “burrito taster,” a “couch security guard,” or “remote control operator.”

It’s an incredibly lame campaign, and reeks of stodgy wonks making a desperate attempt to look hip.

The Marijuana Policy Project’s Bruce Mirken adds:

By the way, jobs held by people who’ve acknowledged smoking marijuana include governor of California (Arnold Schwarzenegger), astronomer (Carl Sagan), mayor of New York (Michael Bloomberg), billionaire rock star/songwriter (Paul McCartney), and — well, you get the point.

I agree that this stuff should be decriminalized, but you must admit that all normal pot smokers are absolute retards. HAHA. who would actually want to smoke it? That's the way I see it anyway.

I tend to get a lot done when stoned. (Especially cleaning the house, for whatever reason.)

Do not forget the three latest presidents of the United States. By 2012 we'll be able to say that the man sitting in the Oval Office has been for the last 20 years someone who has done drugs. think about it, clinton, "I didn't inhale" Bushy with his coke, and Obama with his coke and pot
