1. Fine
...File it between the one of the dancing fat lady, and the one of the the guy who rides a tricyle off the end of the boat pier.

2. You know when I joined the Navy way back in '67
I had never heard the word marijuana, well in boot camp all I heard was pot and how bad it was for you, not from my fellow recruits but from the officers via films and talking. after a while I thought what is this and if it is so that they have to try to scare me maybe there is something there so I tried it and never looked back. their propaganda will come back to haunt them

3. Oh, man, are they asking for it...
...and they're gonna get it, too. You KNOW what's going to happen, doncha?

Some enterprising young multimedia artists are going to DL these things and chop them up and do satires with them that will get hundreds of thousands more hits than the original.

They never learn.

prognosticatorially,
Bright

5. "step-by-step instructions for growing marijuana plants"
doesn't seem to be very anti-drugs - coming from an anti-drugs admin it looks more like agent-provocateur stuff. I think they never stopped with Cointelpro.
