Stacy and Jane and Their Dime Bags of Pot

Elton of Busy, Busy Busy takes us to ""Stacy", the ridiculous-in-the-extreme television ad/commerical aimed at discouraging drug use among minors by the Office of National Drug Policy.

Elton adds the tag line:

"And this is John Ashcroft, the Attorney General who supports the criminalization of marijuana despite the fact that it is used routinely by millions of people without harm, and who tries to pretend that any violence resulting from this state of affairs is Stacey's responsibility."

We think "Stacy" should be replaced with this ad about "Jane" that we received today from someone in Buffalo :

"This is Jane with her marijuana . . .

This is Jane's supplier of marijuana . . .

These are the farmers who could be making a living cultivating hemp for thousands of industrial purposes helpful to the environment, and who could also raise marijuana for inexpensive sale to US adults. . .

These are the AIDS and cancer patients who need the clinically proven medical benefits of marijuana . . .

These are the legislators who continue to maintain a black market in marijuana by prohibiting its cultivation and sale, while permitting sale of far more dangerous substances, like tobacco and alchohol which are legally sold to the adult public . . . .

And so on . . ."
