It has finally arrived -- the first ever commercial for medical marijuana that promotes buying from a safe and reliable source.
The 'Marijuana Doctors' takes the route of twisting a safe activity into potential drug deal. The spin on making a back alley sushi deal is amazing. You would never get sushi from a stranger like in the commercial; you would prefer to get your sushi from somewhere that you can trust and that has proven to be reliable.
The ad of course is not targeted towards youth, “only airing from only airing from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. and not on children’s networks.”
There are a few states that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. The commercial is specifically for the medical use. Don’t hold your breath for a large supplier advertising for the recreational use.
