I thought this video was interesting and made some great talking points. Media is a powerful tool in the hands of any social agitation, and it's great to see it used effectively by the Legalization Movement.
Initially, I am concerned with the struggle this movement will have in the eventual ban on smoking. Too many people group mary jane with cigarettes and whether or not it is medicinal, people who smoke will continue to be stereotyped as rude.
Yeah, I know what you are saying. It's a shame that some see them as grouped together, considering cigarettes are far more dangerous, yet they are completely legal!
