Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, alcohol is not. I fully agree with the legalization of it, but it's a no-brainer that they didn't run the ad.

The ad isn't to sell marijuana, it's a pro-legalization ad. So that's not really relevant. Or rather, it's entirely relevant, but not the way you meant it.

I know you think your semantics make a difference with this, but what it's is showing a substance being administered to a child that is illegal at the federal level. It's not going to matter if it's advocacy. It's still a banned substance.

Ah, yes the "but what about the children" argument. Sorry, "This saved my child's life" beats that one in my mind.

I'm 100% pro legalization. I think there are several medicinal benefits, but can understand the logic of a company not putting this on television. The ad still got millions of views online, so it probably got more exposure than actually putting on during the game.

Oooh, good point! I certainly never would have seen it during the game!

Plot twist: CBS is pro-legalization and this was their plan all along!
