Boozing down is a fall from grace.

Toking up is . . . indifferent to the Bible.

I'd even throw in the tobacco, and alcohol industries too.

Are you saying weed is promoting sin, hooliganism, and laziness? Is this a 1950's reefer madness film?

I don't think this film represented reality. In fact, the disclaimer makes this clear. Though it is amusing.
Apparently, Formerly Tell your Children wasn't as catchy.

Wow, you are hilarious on so many levels; not many of them being square, level or plumb.

How many people do you know who smoke weed? How many sell weed to school children - what do you classify as a "school child"? Do you imagine men in long black drug dealing cloaks waltzing around elementary school selling kids baggies of weed for $250?

Drink alcohol? Drink coffee? Take any mediation of any sort? The federal government not only drinks coffee and alcohol; they take medication as well. Is that promoting sin, hooliganism, and laziness?

Do you truly know the uses of the hemp plant?Big oil, chemical and pharmaceutical companies surely don't want us to.
I would hide in a refrigerator box if I was you.

Why do you think the government should tell us what we can grow, eat, drink or smoke? Are you a pathetic child who needs government to tell you how to live your life?

Who gave you the right to tell adults how they should behave?
