: Kevin has had with Religious groups when it came to Dogma, I find it strange that no one seems to care about the extensive use of recreational drugs in his films. Look at it: 1) Jay and Silent Bob (Some might say, the heroes of his films) are drug dealers.
: 2) Most of the main characters some pot.
: 3) Jay and Silent Bob admit that the whole “Shirmer Illinois” (I know I probably got the spelling wrong, but I don’t have time to check) was a plan to sell more dope.
: I’m not against people smoking a bit of the wacky-backy now and then (I don’t my self), I just find it strange that no-one has made a big thing about it.

: You need a map? We are talking about why people don't make a big deal about jay and silent bob selling and smoking weed....where the fuck did you get lost at?
No, we're not. Read the very first line. He essentially posts a question as to why people singled out Dogma to protest the religious aspect, when no one has yet protested their flagrant drug use/dealing.
I responded with the idea that people tend to protest against ideals that clash with their own, not about legal/illegal issues like drugs, which our government is already against.
Go smoke another one. It's really helping your attention span.
