    If the DEA wanted to warn people of a real danger on the streets, they’d warn people about cops. Do you hsve ANY idea how many people cops kill every year? Yeah, me neither, because they don’t publish the real numbers. They don’t take accountability, they just hide everything.

      Not just that, but the most dangerous thing about marijuana comes from it being illegal. A cop catching someone with pot will do more damage to their life than the weed ever could.

      That’s not even a weed thing, that’s ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible…

      Which is totally cool and totally legal

      Not like it’s a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something

    Beautiful

    what better way to promote 420 Day than to try to market ‘Anti-420 Day’ and tell supporters how to cancel the day and send out warnings instead

    they just boosted 420 day by 500%

    This seems perfectly reasonable. I’m sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

      Those bootlickers will believe anything, I bet you could convince them water was dangerous if you made them think the DEA said it.

        Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical so dangerous, it has both an acidic and an alkaline effect. It’s completely destructive to the body. In large doses, it can kill a person in minutes. Smaller doses are claimed to be safe by the monoxide user community, but the truth is, it’s a death sentence. Everyone who uses dies.

        You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

    I once got so high that I stayed home from school and masturbated all day long.

    I was severely chafed the next day…but man, what a day…

    I cannot fathom any possible way this could go off the rails.

    What a great idea!

    Remember all those idiots who thought this administration was actually going to make good on their promise to legalize it?
