Patrick Kennedy in the Middle of Super Bowl Marijuana Fight

[Jesus Malverde]

Smart Approaches to Marijuana, an anti-marijuana legalization group co-founded by Patrick Kennedy is in the middle of a billboard battle with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP).

The MPP will launch two new billboards Thursday near MetLife stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played Sunday, in response to the anti-marijuana billboard posted Wednesday by the Former U.S. Rep.'s group.

One of the new ads is a spoof of the SAM billboard. The original SAM billboard features a football player under the text, “Motivation, Perseverance, Determination,” and a marijuana leaf under the text, “None of the Above.” It also reads: “Marijuana kills your drive. Don’t lose in the game of life.” MPP’s spoof billboard features a shot of tequila under the text, “Overdose Deaths, Violent Crimes, Serious Injuries,” and a marijuana leaf under the text, “None of the Above.” It also reads: “Prohibiting adults from making the safer choice is NOT a smart approach.”

The second ad features a statement made by Kennedy during a recent TV appearance: “I agree with the president. ALCOHOL is more dangerous [than marijuana].”

“The folks working to keep marijuana illegal appear to have run out of compelling arguments,” said MPP Director of Communications Mason Tvert. “They are now just acknowledging that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and telling people they will be losers if they make the safer choice.

1. Like all the goddamned elite in this country Kennedy wants to make decisions for us.

We need fewer buffoons like him.

6. He's got a lot of personal demons, unfortunately. His judgement is compromised.

2. Cartel's pocket

the only logical explanation.

3. I think the simpler explanation is that he doesn't like drugs.

Frank Zappa felt the same way. Of course Zappa was addicted to tobacco but still...

4. His history would indicate that he likes drugs way too much, and too many of them.

Booze included. In and out of rehabs, coke, pills, in and out of trouble, arrests, accidents. Big druggie, big.
Zappa was not a big druggie and he did not support strict drug laws either, nothing in common with Kennedy.

5. I disagree, I think he likes drugs a great deal, much more than the average person

But knows he can't have them or they will kill him and if he can't have them no one can have them.

A very childish view of things.

7. zappa was an addict and a drinker who smoked pot more than he admitted

what he didnt like was cocaine users, and anybody in that industry should know what a nasty road it is.
I seriously doubt the sincerity of anti-legalization PR pushes.
Legalization really isnt going to change anything.
If you want it, you can get it.
Thanks in some part to those cartels who leave headless bodies and torture honest DEA agents in front of US intelligence assets, smugglers and gangs that get a pass from law enforcement.
To think there is no quid pro quo
is not to think.

8. patrick had a very bad time with hard drugs and he wants to make sure

everyone else who uses drugs has a worse time than he did.
