Stoners are notoriously chilled out, which is exactly the vibe this set of spoof PSA ads a group called the B-Squad has released about Proposition 19, which, if passed, would legalize marijuana in California.
Using some common stereotypes about pot smokers, the faux ads show what life would be like in the Golden State if the drug were legit. You know, like dudes would forsake sex with their hottie girlfriend in favor of watching a "Family Guy" rerun, drivers would break the law...by going too slowly, and, perhaps most ominously, no one would ever be able to find their car in a parking garage again.
A little levity in a campaign is always a good thing, however with Prop 19's potential passage slipping in the polls, these ads might not help. Then again, they might not hurt. Check out the three ads and let us know what you think.
Dudes, don't let this happen to you!
This also happens when not stoned, by the way.
