Nope, it's all a joke.. The commercial is just another example of the US government grasping at straws trying to find ways to convince people that Marijuana is somehow harmful.. A perfect example of taxpayer monies being wasted to promote a flawed drug policy. Wouldn't it be great if Congress, the Senate and the President all came together, lifted the ban on Marijuana, and taxed it at 20 percent, using the money to pay for Social Security and education against the REAL harmful drugs in our society, like Cocaine and Heroine?

I've seen that on tv - I'm sure its just another stupid, ridiculous ad from the partnership for a drug free america. Remember their ad with the egg? Thats a joke you wear on a tee shirt, now.
And since they started out lying to kids, there is no kid on earth that is ever going to listen to one word they ever say. They waste their money on those tv ads. And they deserve to waste their money. I have heard that in some places they use leeches for medical purposes. Its supposed to draw out poisons from under the skin - In fact, I think in India they have some uses for this.
But tell your husband that this practice as you see it in that Ad, where kids want to go to the corner and "cop" some leeches - thats total bullshit.

sloming An acronym which stands for "sticking leeches on myself." It replaced into coined via an Above the impression commercial which depicts extreme college scholars who're addicted to sticking leeches on themselves-supposedly to get extreme. the commercial used the term metaphorically to coach how the skill of peer tension can impression childrens to do dumb issues-leeches somewhat won't be able to get a guy or woman extreme. although, the advert has had an ironic effect. some brainiacs who view the commercial have self assurance that leeches (which tend to hold many risky ailments) can truthfully reason one to alter into extreme. to that end, "sloming," that's in all probability worse for one's wellbeing than pot, has truthfully replace right into a prepare between some naive toddlers. "hey do you wanna circulate sloming this evening?" "Dude, that's no longer authentic"
