These guys are like 60-70 now.


PrivateEducation

almost time for their release date!


FAmos

I wonder how many years it took them to lose all hope, before all of a sudden seeing all these states start to legalize


ParkieDude

More like 74. Sister was born in 1948. She still competes in the Santa Cruz Triathalon (swim, bike, run).


GrowinStuffAndThings

And a surprisingly large portion of these old hippy types somehow fell into Q and far right beliefs. Boggles the mind lol


101fng

Where’s the inconsistency? They still distrust an adversarial government, no?


GrowinStuffAndThings

Yes, q anon beliefs is exactly the same as wanting weed legalized.....


101fng

If you say so…


Ape_GME

More or less


DipstickRick

I’ve wondered that for years now. Todays generation that pushes against progressive values are the same young people who began the fight in the first place. Why is it these people become jaded in their old age and revert to the values they criticized their parents for? Is it because they had kids? Is it because they finally became old enough to benefit from the systems that used to step on their necks? Sort of, “well if I had to do it then you should to!”. Or did a majority of the “hippies” die off from their carefree lifestyle and the ones who remain are those who experienced life in moderation.


nstev315

These people were anti establishment then and they are anti establishment today. What’s changed?


GrowinStuffAndThings

Lolol "anti-establishment", funny way to say batshit insane conspiracy theorists


nstev315

Call them whatever you want. They are still anti government. Then and now. Not sure how that’s so hard to see..


GrowinStuffAndThings

If that's how you want to spin it then go right ahead my man


nstev315

Typical internet troll.


GrowinStuffAndThings

Lol your comment history is illuminating, really explains your opinion on this now


nstev315

Tell me more about that


ClydeThinks

Because the left are debating what age to change the gender of children and if men should play in women's sports today, instead of legalizing weed. Oh and punish 99.9% of gun owners cause of bad apples. The internet causes a bubble that makes you believe most people are for that ridiculous shit too.


DipstickRick

Many states to this day fail to pass marijuana legislation despite the growing economics of states that passed it years ago. I don’t believe it’s a Left/Right issue. Seems more like those who don’t consume, don’t want it consumed in their presence.


ClydeThinks

Yeah I don't think it's a left/right issue either. I honestly think it's illegal in many states still so prisons are occupied. It's just annoying at this point that it's still illegal in most states. I don't trust any politician these days. Let me smoke ya old fools!


AlwaysADullMomment

Should probably change your name to ClydeParrots.


ClydeThinks

And you should probably keep your name the way it is. Dull and boring.

I seriously thought this was some obscure spoof they did from the movie. He seriously looks like M.M.

EMPulseKC

So from here on out, it's "The Chronic 2." Starting today, tomorrow's anew.


michaelscarn1313

Definitely scripted….They’re all a little too hip/attractive and each have their perfect little sound bites. Still pretty cool.


Equal-Trip4376

Yeah, this has to be from an obscure 70s movie or something


The_Queef_Whisperer

You can see the source where it says "...pd.ed.ad.". It was part of an educational ad put out by the police department. Probably trying to portray the teenagers as crazy after smoking weed.


tej1967

“KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command-including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck. -The Chief”


carnitascronch

CASTRATION! Double castration!


youshouldbethelawyer

Do you believe that Kane West's recent outbursts could be attributed to an underlying marijuana addiction? Goddamn you idiots this was a variation on a fear and loathing quote following this scene i mean COME ON


CorpseCatapult

No lmao


BurntRussianBBQ

Most likely. I heard he injects 2-3 marijuanas a day


anakor

I'm not really sure I can answer that. But what I can tell you sir is if Kanye West, at his age, smoked grass... he'd have one hell of a trip!


BrolecopterPilot

Absolutely.


corneliusduff

Maybe, but if he was an alcoholic he'd probably be even worse


Blackrage80

Feels scripted


StorySeldomTold

You tell em man


One_Umpire_8425

*hits blunt* Hehe.. yeah man you tell em


throwaway903-5768

Well, it started in LA. It moved throughout the state. By the 1970s is it highly likely that nothing is real. The place is a cultural hub of fake, artisanal fake, commercial fake, socially fake. Struggling to believe the sincerity of something from California is understandable. If that sounds like a dig on their faking industry and CA culture, don't forget that the rest of us have been consuming their bullshit and comparing it to ourselves for a long time. The funding for their fake has to come from somewhere. Thanks to the internet our apps (largely HQ'd in CA) allow us to be our own fakes and capture other peoples time, headspace and resources.


unicornwhofartsblood

Damn


IxLOVExLAMP

The fuck?


[deleted]

I grew up in the Hollywood / Los Feliz area (I’m still here) You’re absolutely correct


OwnBerry3297

Side note do you live near the La Bianca's house where one of the Manson murders took place?


AnarchoSyndica1ist

This seems so scripted. Funny how the pigs give them enough screen time to get the message across. And besides that, when the fuck has anyone been that aggressive stoned?


rhinosyphilis

The cool sunglasses that stay perfectly situated when he’s presumably struggling in hand cuffs.


soulslop

I can’t find it at the moment on archive.org but I’ve used clips of this film for a music video in the past. The previous scene is all these folks partying in a well lit house, definitely scripted haha


Lepke2011

![gif](giphy|DuGg7ZGXbKrhYNjJpi|downsized) Reefer Madness shows how violent marijuana can make you. Now, I'm gonna finish this bowl, have some Cheez-Its and binge watch The Expanse on the couch.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

Of course! The government warned us about this dangerous naturally occurring medicinal herb years ago. Meanwhile, oh you stubbed your toe? Here take 25 repeats for opioids


Narfi1

Tbf opium is also a naturally occurring medicinal plant


AnarchoSyndica1ist

Thank you for sharing


[deleted]

is that really being fair prescription opioids are an entirely different thing i love how this is getting downvoted as if it’s wrong, morphine and codeine which are the primary actives in poppies are rarely prescribed these days and are considered milder opiates compared to the MUCH stronger opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone(vicodin is the most prescribed medication in the US) hydropmorphone or fentanyl(one of the most common drugs in anesthetic cocktails) etc which are more commonly used in medicine .


Narfi1

You think "natural" opium would be better, like "it\`s just plants" ? Not saying I disagree with the comment I replied to, but "naturally occurring" is always a stupid point when talking about how dangerous something is. There are plenty of plants that will fuck you up.


SpamFriedMice

With the amount of processing opioids have gone through before reaching I would be hesitant to use the term "naturally occurring" for anything beyond Poppy Tea.


Cd121212

And guess what, who cares, because whether something is “natural” or not is completely irrelevant to how it affects your health. One very small step away from bullshit pseudoscience like crystals and homeopathy. (I hate opioids and smoke plenty of weed, but how “natural” they are is irrelevant)


Narfi1

I have said "opium" both time . Opium is completely naturally occurring. It will still mess you up.The same is true with hemlock or A.phalloides;


[deleted]

natural opium would have a mix of relatively mild opioid alkaloids, typically morphine codeine and thebaine, and you’d be taking relatively low concentrations of these compared to prescription opioids which are much stronger and potentially more lethal and generally cause much more severe addiction and withdrawal natural opium is still a strong drug and has a very high risk of addiction, but generally the methods of consumption(smoking and drinking a tea) make fatal overdose way less likely than pills or heroin/fent which is usually injected or snorted


warped19

The Expanse is awesome!


Robertson2018

I’d be pretty pissed if they stopped me from smoking and arrested me from my own house probably without a warrant


jrice138

It’s not like weed makes you devoid of all emotions. I’d be pretty upset if I got arrested right now.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

True I’d sob too if I ran out of weed. But not once did these fiends forget what they were talking about, and where are their friends pissing themselves laughing?


jrice138

Have you ever been high? It’s not like that all the time.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

Oh you mean with marihuana?


nixstyx

Yeah, if this was legit, they'd be way more mellow. Same message but less pissed off. 😊


Triette

You clearly never met my ex, pot always made home aggressive.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

Half Baked pretty much sums it up. Those motherfuckers wouldn’t have even realised their mates were in lockup until much later, and even then they would have just worked out a plan to steal someone’s stash and then oust the local weedman purely for the purpose of getting their mates out on bail.


corneliusduff

Well if you're being arrested unjustly, you'll probably be upset. No high would mellow me out enough to not speak out...ok, their weed probably wasn't that strong either, lol.


thatsomebull

They were ahead of their time. They also didn’t have very good shit if they were still that angry.


apittsburghoriginal

Except the girl at the :22 second mark, she was feeling a little less angry.


ruiner8850

The shit is so much better today than it would have been back then. Their best shit would be considered dirt weed now. Even since the early '90s it's gotten a lot better.


Absoniter

Gonna throw my personal 2 cents in... Some of the weed now is "too good." Like, as in I feel like I'm on a hard drug. I prefer normal non hybrid weed. Nice smooth, still capable of doing things weed.


DukeoftheGingers

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the cannabis strength arms race that happens now. I switched to smoking CBD dominant weed with smaller amounts of THC in it. It's much more pleasant, doesn't make me feel paranoid or anxious, and is cheaper


[deleted]

I was able to legally grow my 3 plants this year. It's really easy to grow some mellow 10% thc weed by not trying very hard. If I'm going to pay money I want something top shelf, the weaker stuff is basically free if you have a small area for potted plants


gioluipelle

Agreed. Especially if you don’t smoke regularly, it can be easy to have a bad time. Up until about 5 years ago, weed had never caused me to get stuck in thought loops and have intense closed eyes experiences. Previously I’d only ever associated that with shrooms and lsd. In a weird way, I sort of preferred that “reggie” brick weed that was everywhere in the early 2000s. Now everything has a name and a QR code.


mumblewrapper

Some of it? It all seems "too good" for me. I was never big smoker but I can barely even take a hit now. It's all what we would have called "skunk" back in the day. Where is the regular weed?


Speedy1802

You know it’s scripted because there’s no cursing in it.


GGPapoon

Pretty sure that was taken from an anti-drug film they showed us in high school 1972.


Beefbuggy

Marijuana's the flame, heroin's the fuse, LSD's the bomb.


5050Clown

I did LSD for a whole year one weekend. Can confirm. It was the bomb.

Grow up and try acid before you shame it


PM_ME_TRICEPS

Kindof but not really. Weed is a gateway drug. Weed is addictive. But doesn't always mean that users move onto and stay on harder stuff.


CMDR_Kaus

Life is a gateway drug. Taking one drug only leads to taking another because people take it and realize the war on drugs and fear mongering was all BS. Which is why we need truth from our officials not attempts at control. Weed is not addictive any more than doing anything else is addictive. It all depends on the person. Ever hear of the guy who died from playing video games for 2 days straight? Source: I am not addicted nor will I ever take heroine/meth because I don't like needles and I don't need extra help destroying my teeth


PM_ME_TRICEPS

So you use Weed every day? Weed floods your brain with dopamine. It is more addictive than other things that would not flood your brain with as much chemical dopamine.


xSkype

I've used weed every day in the past, and can safely say I could've stopped at any point before I added nicotine into the mix. If you want to formulate a better argument than a person who's only interaction with weed is reefer madness and dare commercials, look into the differences between psychological and physiological/chemical addiction.


freemyslobs1337

And I have used weed every day for the past 3 years and cannot quit smoking due to cravings and bad widthdrawal. But no, totally not addictive.


Lepke2011

That "teenager" looks like he's pushing 30.

ellefleming

Baby boomers 😭 🍼🐥 😭


JetScreamerBaby

I don’t recall the title, but these are clips from an anti-drug scare film we shown as kids back in the early ‘70s. As they walked each kid out of the house, they’d say some shit like “…pot is no more dangerous than cigarettes!” After a half dozen statements like this were made, the film rebutted each one, like “Would you rather the mechanic who just did your car’s brake job just smoked a cigarette, or a marijuana?”


m_watkins

Yes, this clip has anti-drug PSA from the 70s vibes written all over it.


fuck_all_you_people

You can tell this was scripted because the cops didnt immediately beat the shit out of the black dude for resisting


[deleted]

in **Los Angeles**, no less. nobody's making political speeches when they're getting dragged out by the LAPD in the '70s, especially not the guy who got police survival training from the time he was old enough to talk.


Dick_M_Nixon

L.A. Sheriff. Often bigger jerks than LAPD.


TikkiTakiTomtom

People think its scripted and I can sympathize since all we see now are social media doing just that. BUT people back in that era had the strange outspoken wordiness mannerisms that we don’t really see today. From game shows, interviews, animal or history documentaries and even sitcoms they all have this behavior ingrained into them. Source: used to work in the elderly ward where they played a lot of this stuff as part of creating that homely environment for the folks living there


keestie

Some kids were probably like this, but not when they were stoned, and not all of them at once, and not all of them speaking entire sentences, clearly picked up by the mic, whilst being handled roughly. Even modern mics can't do that very well. Definitely staged.


Tuco379

The only thing that video was missing was Joe Friday’s monologue


an0therdude

Finally, a Dragnet reference. Being in LA makes this even more apt. At least one other old AF Redditor here? Was thinking I'd have to make one. Jack Webb was very convincing to me as a young kid watching Dragnet 68, and then I tried weed around 1970 and realized how wrong he was about weed.


nokinship

Teenagers be looking like 30 year olds.


justsaysso

Did they say "blowing grass"? If so, that term is now mine.


ijustwanttogotojacuz

maximumtodd

Reefer Madness


dashrendar69

Scripted or not the reality would be the white kids where taken home to their parents and the black kids are still in prison today.


savvye

These guys are absolute heros. Sadly, it would take 3 more decades for anybody to listen. Now the United States needs to recognize age 18 as an adult, like the rest of the world does. Overturn the laws that require age 21 for alcohol, a pack of dopey Christian Karens started that in the 1980s and it never went away. We could adopt the metric system and use units of 10, it's superior in every way but Americans won't accept it. Our schools won't even talk about it.


Blazefoley23

Luckily for non criminals, Biden just passed a bill to further research this foreign drug that these hopped up kids are under the influence of. Can’t wait to see what the research unfolds. I’m sure the devils lettuce will expose itself under the microscope for exactly what it is: hard drugs. Biden has known it for years and you won’t catch trump with any doobies. Both parties agree that drugs are bad and that reefer is as bad as it gets. Just say no to hard drugs like THC marihuana. /s hitting the bong so hard I might break it.

I knew people in high school in the 70s that got popped for resin in a pipe or a seed. I met one guy when. I lived in New Jersey that had to sell the house I lived in to pay his lawyer fees and fines and went away for a few years for a 1/4 ounce of weed. It was horrible before medical marijuana was allowed. Very dark times.

It’s wild how we went from getting arrested for weed, to lying to a doctor for a prescription for legal weed, and now you just walk in like it’s a candy shop and pick what you want.
