War On Drugs: US Drug Czar Targets Gaming Skills In Anti-Pot Ads

OK, I haven't really smoked pot in a few years, mostly because I don't want to have anything in common with hippies, but I had to comment on this. The government, in a continued attempt to get the attention of today's coach potato youth, is advertising that smoking pot can impede your video game skills. Um, let me just say that this has NOT been my experience.

If you want to effectively deter pot smoking, tell the truth. Say that it causes you to eat unhealthy foods like poptarts, or watch cartoons well into your twenties, or hang out with an awkward posse of hippies and fake suburban gangstas, or drive around for hours listening to trance music, or, you know, spend all your time playing video games when you could be like reading or studying.

But pot is like video game steroids. It seriously makes you way better. I call ridiculous on this.
