Bill Maher asks Dodd for a good reason why marijuana should be illegal

Dodd steps up, and while stopping short of legalization, calls for allowing states rights for medical marijuana, decriminalizing recreational marijuana, and fixing crack/powder disparities.

Via Huffington Post, where there are quite a few comments.

Can we make a TV ad?

There's been some good discussion in comments about the power of television ads and the possibility of running some for drug policy reform. I've always liked the idea (even though I have no money to actually run any), so...

Why don't we come up with some ideas, so we're ready (in case I win the lottery)?

What kind of TV ad would you create?

The idea, of course, is not without some potential problems. After all, if the United Church of Christ can have this ad rejected by the networks for being too controversial and if networks who regularly sell sex are unwilling to run this ad, then I imagine there would be some serious resistance to ads promoting drug policy reform.

However, there is also another outlet -- one that requires a very small budget and over which the networks have no control. Youtube.

The viral marketing of youtube can be extremely powerful and reach a lot of people. I know a few students who have produced some excellent videos for that medium, and I'd be willing to bet that there are ranks of talented SSDP'ers that have the skills needed.

So... what are your ideas?

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.
