Fellow Stoners, we have began protesting the Above the Influence Facebook page on July 4th, 2012. We need as much support as we can get, as there are many lost souls on the page, we can help change them. If you would like to help, please post why you live Above the Ignorance everyday. Also, we are trying to change their minds, not destroy them, please be respectful to those who lack information.
Does this involve using a Facebook account in some capacity? If so, best of luck with your endeavors.
^^This. I'd love to help, but I refuse to use FB for anything. I can't prove it, but I know FB is monitored by the wrong people. I've even overheard cops talking about how they use FB to gather info on people in their communities. Human resources personnel use it, too, when they screen their new employees.

theres nothing wrong with being drugfree. No need to protest. Im not gonna force anyone to use drugs and Im not gonna force anyone not to use drugs. Let the people decide.
[quote name='"Vollont"']theres nothing wrong with being drugfree. No need to protest. Im not gonna force anyone to use drugs and Im not gonna force anyone not to use drugs. Let the people decide.[/quote] I think the idea behind this is to educate people rather than convert. Most anti-drug campaigns spread complete lies in order to encourage/scare children to not do drugs. I also see your point though, encouraging any drug use seems pointless and somewhat wrong.
