Yeah I've got to agree with sixth virus. Anti-weed commercials would have you believe that smoking pot will lead to you getting date raped or shooting your friend. I think that a lot of kids, when they find out that they've been lied to their whole lives about "the dangers of marijuana," its hard to trust any anti-drug info, including information about the harder drugs since its obviously coming from a source that will lie to you. I really believe that everybody would be a lot better off if the anti-drug people would just be honest.
BTW I'm all for pot but if you want to hear the best argument I've heard to not smoke it frequently check out the South Park episode "My future self and me." They make a good point at the end. -

That I would hate to live in any time before the 50s. Back in and before the 50s everyone was all ignorant and gullable and stuff. The kinda people who think someone is smart cause they got booksmarts.
Actually I rather live in the time I am then any other time, but still. Couldnt imagine living in a world where the majority of America were actually stupid and ignorant enough to think they could treat people different cause of theys skinand actually do it -

I dunno where you've been, but America is still collectively retarded. -

I just watched this movie again last night,and here are the valuable lessons I have learned:
- apparently, teaspoons of olive oil can be "heaping"
- bullets can bounce off carpeted floors and hit somone in the back.
- mariHuana is free. the dealers are just interested in getting kids f##ked up.
- Scott Joplin was a total pothead
- 48 MPH is a DEADLY SPEED!!
- smoking pot in a closet is a very effective hiding spot, and it makes you look like Harpo Marx.
I'm sure I'll thinkof more later..
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

"2. bullets can bounce off carpeted floors and hit somone in the back"
Don't want to spoil your party, but bullets actually can and often do ricochet off of hard surfaces, especially if it strikes at an oblique angle. It seems someone here learned all they know about guns and the behavior of fired bullets from the movies. -

Good ones BatCountryGrl! Here are some more:
- The correct First Aid for a hit-and-run victim with a shattered spine is to crowd around him and lift him into a sitting position (Say, did you just hear a snap?)
- You can make a person unconscious by grazing them with the butt of a pistol, making a pop sound. You can instantly revive them by sprinkling them with a few drops of water.
- Upstanding jurors won't tolerate pot-induced insanity, but have no problem suffocating the whole room with second-hand tobacco smoke.
- According to Dr. Carroll and his friend, group sex is more vicious than mass murder by axe.
- As long as both of your lawyers agree, you can be committed to an insane asylum for the rest of your life. (Then again, the odds of two lawyers aggreeing on something make this theory impossible to test)
- Jumping out of a window will cause your legs to fall off before you hit the ground. (Check out the suicide leap frame-by-frame)
Where would we be without the wisdom of Reefer Madness?
You mentioned the different-coloured smoke. On the DVD track, the producers mentioned that they intentionally made everyone's smoke a different colour. It's supposed to symbolize that everyone's high is different.

I watched this after watching the recent musical paraody. I'm having difficulty believing the original its self isn't some kind of a satire. I've met around a couple hundred weed smokers (at least that's roughly how many I know smoke) and I've not been killed, framed, seduced or killed anyone yet. I'm smoking a joint right now.
