What's Next; Cocaine Connections?


So on Friday I was driving home from work and just listening to the radio when a commercial came on. At first I thought it was some kind of joke because it went something like this:

Jane: Mary you are so lucky to find a guy like Jay who is so 420 friendly. Everyone I date doesn't like to smoke up.

Mary: Well Jane. I owe it all to potpartner.com because they found me guys who love nothing more than to sit around toking it up all day and are 420 friendly.

Jane: I wish I could find a guy who didn't mind that I like lighting up 4 or 5 times a day.

Mary: Well then you need to check out potpartner.com

Now, whether or not you or I think pot should be legal or whether or not you or I think it's harmful is beside the point. The point is that if you live in the US, marijuana is illegal and you will at least get a ticket if not go to jail for possessing it or smoking it unless you live in Humboldt in which case the cops will bring out their own bongs and join you. Yes, there are medical marijuana cards, etc., but again they don't work except in some California counties.

Would you feel the same way if there was a matchmaking site called Cocaine Connection where the guys all love to share and the women only like guys who can score?

How about a website for boozehounds? "I only like dating guys who blackout every night. How did you get so lucky and find a guy who has liver disease? That's so cool."

Basically the website is encouraging people who share a similar illegal interest to get together. You have to set aside the fact whether or not you agree with the legalization of marijuana and ask yourself should there be a website or radio advertisements that encourage people who share illegal interests to get together? What is the tipping point? Marijuana is okay but cocaine isn't? Guys who like 17 year old girls is ok, but if they like 15 it's not? Where do you draw the line?
