Sensible BC

[Glacier]

This group of NDP hacks keeps putting their ads on my Facebook, and it's getting kind of annoying. I get it that they are meant to promote marijuana decriminalize marijuana, but their ads don't stop there. Note to Sensible BC: if you want broader support, try to lay off the highly charged partisan ads, and learn how our parliamentary system works. After one too many ads criticizing every single thing the Liberals do or don't do, I left a comment merely to showing how unreasonable their position was. After a bunch of people started agreeing with my comment, the ad went *poof*.

Anyone else getting tired of un-Sensible BC spam?

I'm not getting any. Those ads are tied to your internet usage. If you're signed into Facebook they can see everything you do online and advertise. I got nothing but wedding planners when I was getting married, baby products when my wife was pregnant, etc.

That's the way it's supposed to work, but all I get is junk completely unrelated to me. I have absolutely nothing to do with marijuana or it's legalization on my facebook account, yet I get these stupid ads for Sensible BC and a "marijuana paranoia coaching seminar", heck I even get some in Russian and French (for other items, no clue what they are cause I can't read it!)

Weird. I'm a "fan" of Cheech and Chong and have yet to see a SensibleBC ad on facebook.

I will say, my marijuana paranoia could use some brushing up.

Aligning an important and meaningful cause with the NDP is definitively not sensible.

(haven't seen what you're talking about though - bad facebook, bad)

They don't want to waste ads on people who already converted, probably.

I hate pot....

The stench , the people on it trying to do anything intelligent....

You'd figure I'd get those ads like I get the Jay dubs on a Saturday morning , but I haven't seen them on my FB ...

Fair enough ...

Don't blow your weed smoke in my face and don't knock on my door on Saturday morning....

You won't have to worry about me then...

You'll like it that way...

And DON'T "friend " me on Facebook either .

I like that attitude.

Don't blow your weed smoke in my face and don't knock on my door on Saturday morning....

Incredibly little chance on either of those.

You won't have to worry about me then...

I really don't, either way.

You'll like it that way...

Don't presume to know what I will or will not like.

And DON'T "friend " me on Facebook either .

Even less chance of that/

But you're okay with tobacco smoke, automobile or diesel exhaust, or do you have a strategy that works to avoid those that would likely just as easily work to avoid the stench of people smoking marijuana? As far as intelligence? Well, you don’t have to talk to them, and there are people on this board who purport not to smoke and whose comments make the most brain dead pothead seem to possess the wisdom of a sage. I really think we need to learn to get out of other people's business that does not effect our own lives in any way - other than the tax money we are paying to feed and fuel drug crime and violence.

No Steven I'm not ok with all that ..And , unfortunately , there is no possible strategy to avoid all that stuff unless you chose to never leave your own sterile environment..

Sadly , these days, any place where one could possibly escape the stench of tobacco smoke, car or diesel exhaust have now been over run with the Cheeba heads....

I keep my stuff out of people space , I just wish the "sensible" people would leave their stuff out of mine

[TMixer]

What does SensibleBC have in your house?

Well, I guess there are pollutants in the air everywhere but I can choose not to push my golf cart along the busy highway. I just can't help but think this problem is being overstated. Yes, I acknowledge I live in a much smaller town but I know there are a lot of pot smokers up here. I have caught the odd whiff on the golf course (don't know how they do it - I find the game demanding enough stone cold straight) but I don't let it ruin my day. I know there are a lot worse things I could end up inhaling this day. Usually the smell is gone in just a few minutes or I've walked past it. Such a minor thing to worry about.
