Oh how drug commercials have changed. Twenty years ago it was “this is your brain on drugs” with an egg in a frying pan. Now, here we are in the 21st century with a TV ad telling you how to legally buyweed. While it may be the dawning of a stoner age, the commercials are still just as cheesy. The premise of this minute-long spot, brought to you by the good folks at MarijuanaDoctors.com, is of a skeezy dude trying to sell you sushi from his coat in a back alley. The idea being that you wouldn’t buy sushi this way, so why weed? Yeah, we know, it’s a pretty tenuous analogy, but hey, what’s a drug commercial, pro or con, without a good tenuous analogy. In any case, the commercial began airing yesterday on CNN, Comedy Central, The History Channel, and A&E in New Jersey making it the first legal weed commercial to be shown on major TV networks in the U.S. Just think of this as a gateway commercial. A year from now and there will be heroin suppliers stumping up millions for a Super Bowl spot.
