pothead = terrorist ?
The Drug Policy Alliance is an organization I respect. They support harm reduction and other policy alternatives related to our society’s drug issues.
It seems they’ve scored a small but significant victory:
What won’t play in this year’s Superbowl

For years our members have encouraged us to take on those costly anti-drug ads that do nothing to reduce drug use. We listened and then went to work. Now, the government’s propaganda machine is on its last legs and we need your help to finally dismantle it.
With the help of thousands of people around the country we were able to get those unbelievable “smoke a joint, you’re a terrorist” ads off the air. In fact, the government hasn’t run an ad like that since 2003 (although it continues to run other anti-marijuana ads.) You may also remember that we were successful last year in stopping Congress from allowing the drug czar to use the ad campaign budget to run ads against marijuana-related ballot measures and pro-reform Congressional candidates.
But reform isn’t enough – the entire program should be eliminated. The government has no business spending millions of dollars in taxpayer money on a campaign that, as the government’s own studies show is ineffective and counterproductive.
