The first group of friends is shown smoking pot on a couch, with a poster if Bob Marley on the wall, which plays at the sad fact that most middle school and high school students only know Bob Marley for his use of marijuana. It also shows the group sitting on a couch watching TV with an empty pizza box on the ground, obviously representing the side effects of pot, known as the munchies. The end result of their group marijuana use is supposed to represent how one feels when being high, but in my opinion looks like some sort of Satanic psychedelic trip. All in all, the time line is supposed to show that when you smoke pot you eat pizza and see rainbows and are safe on your couch.
The second timeline shows the same group of friends sitting on the same couch with a beer poster on the wall, drinking beer. It then shows the group in a car driving down the street at night, obviously representing the problem our nation has with drinking and driving. The final result of them having a beer on the couch is shown as the group scattered around the road with the car set aflame. This represents the often result of drunk driving, an accident.
Underneath the two timelines is the sentence, "Can you guess which on is legal?" This sentence plays at the fact that marijuana is illegal and leads to "happiness" when beer is legal and leads to "death." This image uses humor to represent a serious problem and all in all is trying to prove that weed is okay and beer is dangerous when in reality, both suck equally.
