#389. I Will Get High

Here's an idea for a marketing campaign for NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).  Specifically, a series of commercials.

For sound, use one of the most popular Grateful Dead anthems in the background.  Touch of Grey.

Show a variety of individuals with respectable occupations.  Doctors, lawyers, accountants, architect, pharmaceutical sales, college professor, politician, celebrity, etc.  Each of them singing along to the chorus... I will get high. 

Make sure to show the name of their respective state and city to help acquaint people with the states where weed's legal (recreational, medicinal, etc.), and of course, any states where it will be on an upcoming ballot (referendums, initiatives, whatever). 

Also make sure to show their "favorite strand" along with their vocation as well.  The idea being to finally squelch the long-standing stigma.
