Anit-pot ads considered harmful (Score:1)
One says that pot is evil but having a loaded gun sitting on a desk in a house with children is fine.
Another implies that pot is the cause of teenage pregnancy, completely forgetting about liquor which is infinitely more likely to lead to it.
If they really wanted to show the dangers of pot they should focus on loss of motivation, which is the biggest drawback of the substance.
The basic fact is that alcohol is far more debilitating than pot. It has far stronger and more dangerous effects on the body. It causes far more judgement loss. It causes far more motor skill loss. And while pot induces a paronoia that throttles the dangerous things you might otherwise do, alcohol has the opposite effect.
