- Here's the (mostly) complete, first-run broadcast of the ABC Afterschool Special, "Stoned" (S09E04), as aired over the ABC Network via WLS Channel 7. See below for modification notice.
This cautionary tale stars Scott Baio (Happy Days, Charles in Charge) as a go-getting student, Jack Melon, who ends up going far astray - and falling in with the "wrong" crowd - after smoking cannabis for the first time, thus putting his future in grave danger. Also starring Vinnie Bufano, introducing Largo Woodruff (as Felicity), and co-starring Jack Frich, Steve Monarque, Barton Heyman, Ira Elliott, and John Herzfeld.

Modification notice: On the original tape, the recording stopped after the final ABC Afterschool bumper finished, after Act V completed. (it seems the person recording this started the timer a few minutes early) So to make up for this, the following commercials after this point were swapped in, as they were aired before the program began. Lastly, the end credits were missing from this recording as well, so they were borrowed from another source for continuity's sake.

I’m 49 yrs old laying across my bed 🛌 on my stomach kicking my feet watching this like I used to do yrs ago. Whomever put this on here Thanks. Brings back a time in my life when many of the ppl I loved were still alive, and life was maybe not better but it was definitely simpler. 👍🏿💯🙏🏿💪🏿💯❤️
I hear you, David. 😉
You and me both
Do any of you remember the after school special called The Wave? That one has always stuck with me
I'm 47 doing the same thing. 😄
@@taraseguin2026 The ending was sort of lame, but yes...I recall THE WAVE.
I remember watching this after school special when I was a kid, I was stoned then and here I am 43 years later watching it again,and I’m stoned. Thanks ABC, mission accomplished!
I can't believe you're not in jail!! Kidding!! :)
@@Jkroger100 I was too cool for school and jail.
Pretty sure their mission was to keep you from getting stoned. Lol
So, when he starts getting high he doesn't need glasses anymore... Pretty cool 😂
makes sense. CBD is supposed to be good for the eyes. lol
@@xman777b😂 I heard that as well lmfao
It doesn't work that way. I get stoned and I still need my bi focals.
When I was a kid I actually thought that was true because tv stoners never needed their glasses after smoking for some reason
TV knew early on about how it minimized intraocular pressure and it reflects in their deep and nuanced scripts. Youth truly is wasted on the young or the young are just wasted youth. Wait. There's a song there.
Stoned - Brought to you by Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops, Starburst, Oreo cookies, Bublicious Bubblegum and Visine.
Don't forget McDonald's...
Fock Yeah 🍟😁
😂
😅😅😅
🥴😎🎸👍
When I was a kid, this show taught the importance of not going rowboating after smoking pot. Been getting high ever since and proud to say I never once did that. Thanks ABC!
😂😂😂
Only idiots do that
🤣🤣🤣🤣 me either but I drove everywhere and rode oooo so dangerously with my friends.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, what I'm getting is: don't go to swim practice. If you smoke Pot instead, shit like drowning won't be a problem
Announcer in dramatic tone:
"STONED." 🤣
He sounds like the guy who did the Staaaaar Trek - The Next Generation promos too!
"THE ABC. AFTERSCHOOL. SPECIAL."
Same guy who narrated those "pot is the gateway drug for everything" scare tactic propoganda that told us all we'd end up on the street as homeless heroin addicts if we smoked weed.
He must never have heard the Bob Dylan song "Everyone Must Get Stoned".....
@@ShamrockParticle All the announcers of this time sounded so serious. The TV-Guide commercials remind me of "The Andromeda Strain" with their sinister music and announcer.
Top shelf. The commercials are crucial to the experience. I'm glad someone finally gets that.
It's time for milk....and me.
@@Aaron-lc9cx I remember the McDonalds commercials where they sang "We do it all for you"....
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398I remember that!
Absolutely Scott. It's Criminal to edit out the commercials. They're equally if not better than the show.
Such a great era to grow up in. I'll never forget when I first saw this back in the 70's. Scott Baio's super sweet stoner hideaway complete with backlight and glow-in-the-dark posters had me rooting around the Spencer's Gifts wishing I had money to buy all the cool stuff.
I loved all of the gag gifts Spencers had reindeer poop, fake vomit, fart spray and so on.
I loved coming home from school in the 80s, and watching all of the after school specials. I have probably seen every single one.
We can tell the young 'uns today that we survived the pot, PCP, pedophiles, teen pregnancy, etc. these shows portrayed because we were tough and wise! (O-K, in reality, it was more so because our parents had the sense to flee the decrepit cities, and raise us in pleasant suburbs, and "diversity" wasn't being shoved down their throats.)
I as well ; fun times! ✌
Same here.😊
12:25, I just love what they wanted us to eat for breakfast. A bunch of carbs, juice, and milk, no meat. Give me a break. These shows were fun to watch back then and now.
Love the commercials: "Kids, this natural herb is drugs. Drugs is bad for your health. Now enjoy all these sugar and carbs! And not at all addictive!"
Yeah,I remember Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks but,I don’t remember Corn Pops being Sugar Corn Pops. Cereal was better back then.
But he was eating raisin bran straight from the box - healthy, low fat lol
WHY RAISIN BRAN
NO STONER WOULD BUY THAT
@@russellzauner😂
I'm more addicted to sugar and carbs than weed
@@myleslong5584 i remember them being called Sugar Corn Pops.
I absolutely watched this whole thing for the commercials from when life was magical 😢❤🇺🇸🖖🏼
it really wasnt magical....sorry
The older brother is going to come in last place with that swimming technique. Phelps ripped bong hits and defeated everyone. This guy can't even keep his face in the water.
😂
He got stoned, saved his brother's life and he got the girl.
This premiered exactly 1 year after I was born. Scott Baio foreshadowing my teenage future 😂
Now I really feel old !!!! I was 15 when this came out , gettin high and laughing at it
Yeah, I was born in July 1979. So about the same time. I smoked weed for the first time at 13 😳🤣
@@goldentaco4970 I did that in High School but I had "rules". I only did it on Fridays at lunch......
Born June77.
Yep 1994-2010 smoked everyday
1994-95..
We got high b4 school everyday, b4 baseball practice & games.
Rolled Js & used a handheld smoke shotgun.
I made 1st Team All Conference 2B.
Stoned
I had zero interest in smoking weed in my youth until I saw this afterschool Special. It looked like so much fun!
The only way this could be better is if Willie Aames had been in it too 😄
You read my freakin mind...I'm like...Where's Willie????
Or his pal Donny Trump!
@@Defensewhiz lol it would have been great if he was the one that sold Baio the weed 😁 "Hey Churles, wanna get really stoned?" "Oh sure, Buddy!"
@@TRJ2241987 🤣🤣🤣😂
Then it would have become ZAPPED !!
I love that this 37-y/o HS senior so sweet to his freshman brother, Baio!
Michael J Fox could have done a good job at playing that character. He was probably in his late teens or early tees when this came out.
And Baio was worried about him getting hurt from benching 64 pounds.
This shit was hilarious even back then, I remember seeing this on TV with my friends and we were in hysterics 😂😂 and we were stoned af
I love hearing that story how you were always so cool.
@@iscariot666 Based
@@iscariot666 awww sorry she hurt you
Cannabis made this kids life awesome for once. He was even able to rescue his much larger big brother from drowning while being extra high.
@@sweetlikechocothaiAW, MAN!! YOU BLEW THE ENDING😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The worst part of reefer addiction is when you murder your friends with the oars because you are so high on a "pot trip".
😂
😂
😂😂
Marijuana addiction killed Chachi man. After he ran out on Joni he thought he'd settle down. Looks like it didn't work out that way. Don't do like Chachi and Dewy Cox did.
"Reefer Madness" (1936) ...best anti weed movie ever.
Back in 80s when Italians temporarily took over the movie studeos.
😆🇮🇹
Yeah and the grease never left the industry.
Were you better at spelling back in the 80s? Studio, not studeo...
@@anthonyscaturchio9642Well ..? In light of that, "temporarily" is somewhat of a triumph.
@@anthonyscaturchio9642 were you better at wise cracks in the 80s?
God bless the uploader for not editing the commercials out.
Omg I totally remember this! Baio was so big at that time so us girls def all watched. Those ABC after school specials were all the rage then too anyways. Thanks for the memories
These people out here carrying their big bottles of Listermint with them at the beach.😂
And dipping their fingers and smacking it off, too! You know, as one does
This is glorious!!! 😂 especially as i sit here smoking a fat bowl after work 😂 i remember these in the 80s as a kid,also was special cause that last commercial with the hot wheels city thing that had the car wash and transmission service and elevator and stuff,loved that thing! 😂
sounds like you like being an addict.
Same
I had the hot wheels city
57:11 My Fisher-Price three-story garage play set can beat up that garage play set. It had an elevator that dinged every other crank of the handle and when it reached the top level, the floor in the elevator cab would tip up as the "stop sign" gate would tip up and the car would go rolling down the ramp. The top level also had a rotating platform that you caused to rotate by turning another crank to make the car be in different positions in order to "drive" into it's parking slot. The car jack, though not attached to the garage, was also included. You turned a handle to make it go up so it can be "worked on".....
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 I had one as well
Nothing to see here. Just 4 guys hanging out in a bathroom stall together with a skateboard and a radio.
If anyone is wondering what actually happened to Jack he moved to NorCal after high school and ended up growing outdoor cannabis. After 4-5 years he saved enough money to buy his first house near San Francisco and then he met a a little hippie, had 3 kids and stayed away from McDonalds and Kellogg’s sugar cereal only to live a happy and high life!! Later he fought for the AIDS movement and opened the first dispensary in Berkeley in 1998 and helped millions. Thanks Jack
Are you talking about Scott Baio?
@@screamdreamer9085🤣
I met Herer after he was released. He was having a double double at the In N Out in Atascadero. It wasn’t even a year later we got news he passed. So yeah, you left out how he was imprisoned for decades because of cannabis. As much as Jack did for the cannabis community, I would trade it for him and his family to get all those years back.
@@bbingtube Best weed I ever grew...thanks Jack :)
The days of getting stoned after school and watching a special on tv!
The birth of MST 3K😅😅😅😅
This is fantastic to watch after just burning some down on my break at work..which i got legally from the smoke shop right round the corner from my job. 😁👍
I will never forget watching that intro as a kid in the 1970's what powerful memories ❤
Me too! ❤
They always lied to us kids about what not to do while advertising sugar cereals, McDonalds, and candy…. I never got the Hot Wheels service center! Thanks mom & dad!
STONED was nominated for an Emmy as Outstanding Children's Entertainment Special. Director John Herzfeld won an Emmy as Outstanding Director of a Children's Entertainment or Informational Special.
@@laikapupkino1767 And you know this personally ??? Just because you hate Scott Baio doesn't mean that you can maliciously deprive his work of deservedly earned accolades.

Whoever designed the After School Special intro was either dropping acid or ate shrooms. 😂
I love how the "jocks" always sound like they are from New Jersey and no one else sounds remotely like that in the special.
Edit: wish they still made banana Bubblicious.
From the writer director of the films 15 Minutes and 2 Days in the Valley. Man, this was a popular After School Special! So much so that HBO would play it constantly for the next several years. I remember seeing it when I was six or seven, very young. Then I saw it again, ten years later, in high school gym class! Loved it then, love it now! Such a classic.
Maybe hbo will bring it back seeming how weeds already had 8 seasons and euphoria is not comical enough to take its place
*Cla$$ic LIE$. Such a DI$GRACE!*
2 Days In The Valley is a very good movie.
And all the executives who wrote this, produced it, the cameraman, and the head of the network were drinking bourbon, getting high, and snorting coke. Amazing.
How the hell do you know? I'm giving your comment thumbs down for making up crap.
one buck for a joint?
i miss those days
Yes no kidding..
$1 in 1980 (the year of this movie) is $3.69 today says the inflation calculator.
@@pippishortstocking7913still cheaper than the street or a legal store now
This was awesome. Must watch if you're REALLY STONED. IM ZOMBIE BAKED. This is what you call a real afternoon special.❤😂😊
When I what's the age that these kids are basic weed was so mild you could sit and Smoke 4 hours and barely get a buzz. We have to get things like Thai stick or Acapulco Gold to get really stoned. I have to stop smoking years ago. It got so strong that it just made me paranoid. I can consume enormous quantities I've noticed things but of course the one that they legalized I'm not interested in any more. Hard to believe that I had friends that were sent to jail for five years for a bag of stems and seeds. Man times have changed. Never imagined in a million years that they would literally have weed stores that the government would profit from.
Life really was special back then. Growing up in the 70s & 80s, we had it all and most of us had our moms and dads both working so not only did we have it all we also had the opportunity to try out just about everything.
Wow this was aired a little over 6 months before I was born! Anyone else watch the old commercials even though you hate commercials just for the nostalgia? 😂
Thanks for leaving the commercials in. Clutch.
It's time for milk......and me!
A dollar for a joint?! Those were the days!
Let's be honest though, 19:30 - 23:30 other than getting immediate munchies (which could also happen) the writing, acting and portrayal of a first timers smoke sesh was SPOT ON, it felt like I was peaking into someone's actual first experience
I know!
I now want cereal, bubblious and a new doll.😅
Trippy 😀
I see what you did there. "Stoned", proudly and appropriately sponsored by tons of junk food.
🤨oh yeah.. huh?
It seems they went _tit for tat_ -"chichi for chachi", if you will *?*
Including Kelloggs, which if you're familiar with the history of Mr. Kellogg, he marketed breakfast cereal (no joke) as a breakfast option that would discourage people from having "impure thoughts". Basically corn flakes exist to dissuade young people from touching themselves. It's no wonder they'd sponsor after school specials during the drug wars.
Im dying the way he took a handful of plain raisin bran and threw it back in the box 😂😂, this is so funny but at 12 i would be like whoa whats that bubble thing, the laughter stage at the locker has me dead 😂😂😂😂
Amazing how Chachi went from being a STONER to a GREAT CONSERVATIVE.
Being a stoner without the drugs.....
"Chachi loves Reefer" was a show that had a pilot for ABC, but was never picked up.
Perfect to watch as I settle into bed with some herbal refreshment.
😂 oh yeah along with a bag of 🧀 Krystals
Thank goodness for afterschool specials! I never would have known what I was missing out on! Frankly, I think they oversold it. Getting high is nice, but it's not all that.
Don't believe the hype kids. Lol.
It was too much fun in those teenage years
@@jordangordan8980 My teens mostly sucked...20's were WAY more fun!
depends on the particular drug, I'd assume. Reefer, yes. Over sell
It doesn't make the nerd into the hot, confident, chad of a stoner either.
I love these classic shows.
Charles was really in charge in this classic
This is a good film to get stoned to.
Thanks. I forgot about the " just say no years" . I watched this show back in the day just as high as I could get. I usually watched the muppets while I smoked my after school joint
I thought it was "Just Say Yo!".... hee hee. What a joke those were.
A peach preserves jar label in the US: "Because the peaches have been pitted by machine, they may contain an occasional pit fragment.:
In England: "Partially stoned."
😂
I'm so proud to be a Gen x latch key kid . My brother and I were able to do most things on our own . I feel sorry for the kids now , seems to me that you can't do anything anymore . No places are safe so don't get caught slipping my Gen x brothers and sisters .
10/11 years old and I used to ride my bike to neighboring towns. Take the bus downtown or to the mall. Be gone all day and come home as soon as it was dark.
Very different world now.
This is hilarious because nobody acts like that after smoking weed. Baio was wilding so hardcore! 😂😂😂
I remember the After-school Specials. Scott Baio was excellent in these.
Do you remember the trouble with Ritchie with the 70s heart throb Robbie Benson
@@breakmylegs7294 Oh, Robbie Benson from "Ode To Billie Joe"..... Just watched that.
Also, The Loneliest Runner. About teenage bed wetting. Lance Kerwin starred. Sort of a semi-biography written and directed by Michael Landon.

There actually is some truth to this. I used to be a stoner back in the day, then I grew up and slowly started to leave it behind. I used it for a very long time too, years and years. But now I don't use it anymore. Occasionally I may have a tiny drop of cbd oil and that's alright. But I used to rely on it for making music and trying to think outside the box. But after letting it go, my music has actually gotten better now when I listen and compare it to my previous work. I've actually been feeling a lot more creative with my song writing and have done some pretty cool stuff. Before, I would only have like this 30 minute window of using grass to help me make music, but then when it was gone, I was too tired to do anything with the song. So I basically ended up with tons of song ideas that I never got around to recording. But now, I'm able to commit to every song idea I have now and weed out the ones that aren't the best.
The truth is that I was forced to quit all of the drugs I was taking because of a severe medical condition. I believe it was god's way of taking me off drugs. Well, over time, I started to heal and here I am! Good as new, except I don't have anymore drug habits and I actually feel more free to be honest, like truly free! I still enjoy the same things that I did when I used drugs, in fact, they're 100 times more enjoyable now. I do more exercise and sports and I'm basically heathy again. I realized that I was always naturally high and I never really needed drugs. Now I'll be honest, I do miss those old days, I had some gnarly trips not just with grass, but psychedelics. I used to chain smoke like Hunter S. Thompson. I used to drink, and take whatever came my way. But now, I'm free! I still struggle somedays with fatigue and not getting things done, but it's not like before. I have more will power now and I'm able to plan things out better if I failed something that I want to try again. I'll probably have another doobie someday in the future, I mean that's reality, but I'm 100% sober most of the time now, not even caffein and I feel great! A prescribed amphetamine almost made me lose my life one night, and I'm never going back to that.
The entire thing is sponsored by Kellogg's yet at @22:09 the scene has generic raisin bran on the table.
They should've put a box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran on the table. Maybe they were too stoned to figure out proper advertising back in them days 💡Duh!! 😁
ahould have been a box of "Weedies" 🤣
You can find the answer to why that is if you look into fcc regulations for daytime children's programming prior to around 84, I think.
Them laughing at forgetting the locker combo 😂😂
Real stoners use keys
@abrahambaker5085 you jam your locker open by holding the latch and revesing the lock, then you don't need to open it again.
This is some great comedy, especially the row boat situation near the end.
Pot helped his eyesight. He doesn't wear glasses when he's high.
My 8 year old naive self watched this just for something to watch. 25 years later I started taking pain pills that the doctor prescribed to after I messed up my back in an accident. I learned nothing from this because I enjoyed being stoned for 13 and a half years after that. Now I'm over 6 years clean and hate even saying the word stoned. It's never too late to stand up after you fall and to keep on standing. No. So riety and recovery isnt blissful or back to the old me. It's getting to reinvent myself into a smarter drug and alcohol free man.
Sucks to have anything own your soul like drugs do. I was strung out on oxy contin for a dozen years. When I quit I did it like trainspotting, buckets in my room locked in my dad's house , told him no matter how much I scream or cry don't let me out this house . 3days of agony , every minute takes an hour , chills ,shakes , puking 🤮, gut wrenching pain. After 4 days I started to function but after a week ,I hated life , reality sucks sober now depression realization that my life is trashed . It took me a good 9mnths to get it together and finally move on with life , thank s dad 🥲, he died a few years later .I finally grew up thanks to him at age 50...
It's not easy to stay away from a few specific ones... And I commend you for sticking with it.
OMG, IT CAME WITH COMMERCIALS, and I remember them all. Thank you so much for posting this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@FuzzyMemoriesTVit’s was a nice trip down memory lane
With the exception of the rowboat incident, it looks like marijuana greatly improved the guy’s life! I use the stuff every single day! Love it so much!! Thank you, legal weed edibles!!😀
Plot twist, it wasn't the Marijuana, it was his silliness that did it....
His brother was a dummy for swimming around where he was rowing. What’d he expect.
Jack was a hero. And like spinach to Popeye, the devils lettuce is Jack’s strength.
Wonderful, this was my life in 1980 !
So this "pot" makes you happier, helps you find new friends, gives you confidence, makes school fun..so far after 30 mins in.. I'd think this is a miracle drug...lol

Keep watching, it almost makes you kill your brother out of negligent homicide 😞 😢
@TheKrickReport You mean his brother in his pursuit for Olympic glory, blindly got too close to a boat while he was swimming..who the hell swims that close to a boat? Lol..maybe if he spent more time with his brother outside of training, the lil bro would not have to have been put in that position..haha..
I remember when this aired. It had a lot of promo-ads and advertising the week before. I loved the AfterSchool Special and never missed it
Scott Baio, the legendary player, in glasses, is the equivalent of clark kent.
Thank you for posting these great afternoons special please add more when you can find them
It could be all the L.S.D I took back in the day... It could be the nostalgia. Whichever, I'm having a flashback...
I want to see the special where jack gets dosed at a Grateful Dead show
I cant believe they ended it with Jack starting a way more dangerous and expensive habit.
Did he get married and have kids in california?
@@blondequijote Well THAT would be an way more "dangerous and expensive habit.".

This, and Desperate Lives are my two favorite Just Say No specials. Stoned was trimmed down to a half-hour and printed on 16mm for use in schools.
Figures, given the production company seen at the end.
Now,there are Dhar man videos.
This was HILARIOUS. Thanks for the comic relief! Also, notice how all the food in the commercials is sugary carb filled crap? And there was a pile of Wonder Bread on the table of every dinner they had - yet NO ONE WAS FAT. I grew up in the 70’s and literally no one I knew was fat, no less OBESE. Now over half the population is OBESE.
That's because we were more active back then. We would go out and rowboat on weed rather than sit at home and play video games on weed.
Kids back then were active and burnt the junk calories off.
Why is everyone looking for excuses to lose brain cells ?..well look at the sugar commercials..who cares..a fat kid at McDonald's never messed up my order but pot heads sure have
Only thing missing is the Fonz making a cameo at the end discussing the evils of cannabis
Or Mr. T, fool!
Turns out that Jack was smarter, cooler, and a better swimmer than his brother.
Thank you who ever put this up.
Yes, nothing like some guilty-pleasure nostalgia.....
And what have we learned from this ABC special........Nada absolutely nothing, haha!
He sure had a good time. Maybe I'll try getting "stoned". 😁
This aired 4 days before my 10th birthday.❤
This is perfect, I just got back from the dispensary! I'll spark up at 4:20 in. ✌️
At 4:19 the joints are put together for a real sessh.
Lol, I'm toking on my bowl while watching this. Floating down the HIGHway called memory lane.
@@tonyakrebs4137 Excellent! ❤️ ✌️ 😊
I like their scheme for all huddling in a single bathroom stall. So if a principal walked in they could quickly toss the joints in the toilet -- and the principal wouldn't think anything weird was going on.

Oh my goodness 😁 I haven’t see this since hurrying home after school with my 5 sisters and 2 brothers to watch this! And especially bcuz Scott Baio was starring in it. We’d hurry through the front door and then rush upstairs to our room , throw our many school books down on our beds then rush backdown stairs, turn the TV on ABC which was channel 8 and get ready to watch it. We’d run to the kitchen to get all kinds of snacks too. Our Dad was a narcotics officer as we grew up in SoCal and it was a must for all of us to watch this one. I’ll never forget it. Brings back so many great memories and I wish I could go back to the time. Things were different and much simpler.
We would always watch the ABC After school specials and we’d get so bum if there wasn’t going to be one on for that week. But still good memories and times.
Congratulations, Jack, on your first foray into the friend zone! 🙂👍
I'm 27 seconds in and I already laughing. I remember these After-school specials. This one didn't well.😂😂😂
2023 i still do think my personal opinion cannabis is a gateway drug , not sure if it's because im British, but im talking from personal experience, im an ex addict in recovery, struggled a lot with opioids , when i first started i couldn't function normally with bud , couldn't drive work etc , and everything went down hill from there, all i know is that family matters, and thats one thing I've learned from this , pay attention spend extra time with family, have fun with your parents siblings etc , otherwise they will choose alternative methods of fun , and it's a 50/50 gamble from there , moms dads raise your kids right, don't be too strict and don't spoil them
Why don't they ever call alcohol a 'gateway drug'? Could it be because since it's been legal so long it has a powerful advertising lobby to protect its industrial interest? The truth is addictions are progressive diseases, don't start out that way, and everyone had some drug be the first one they used.
Any drug is a gateway drug. People who become addicted to coke for example are usually alcoholics first.
I was looking at the thumbnail, and thought, wait, is that Scott Baio? Clicked, looked at the description, and yeah, sure enough, it is. In his defense, maybe he got stoned after seeing the ratings for Joanie Loves Chachi. 😉😂🤣
that wasn't out yet.
Oh man memories of the After School Special. There were some good ones.
Couldn't wait to watch after school. The best commercials too. Loved & miss the ads
I', mean, he did get cooler after smoking💁 What are you saying, abc?🤣
Currently rolling up to blaze and watch this stoned 💨
Anyone else getting stoned while watching this?
Wow a dollar a joint. Great deal. Even for a standard size. I never smoked it just a few times. Never became a stoner, thanks ABC and thanks Scott Baio. Liked the movie foxes aswell and happy days.
They were going for that in 1981. I would have one every Friday during lunch......
30:44 this whole scene has bound to have backfired massively. MASSIVELY! We had these drug education pamphlets in my school around this time or a few years before and they were illustrated with stick figures.
And the stick figures who were on drugs had big ass smiles and X'ed out eyes! And my skin literally tingled as the thought formed: "Holy SHIT! Do drugs make you feel THAT GOOD??????"
Backfired massively.
I was born in 77, so we had Dare through out elementary school. My small class won all these awards for our anti drug writings,got to go to Nasville to the state Capitol, where a special session was held for us to read our 'reports'. I still have my 'gold' medal. There was around 45 kids in my grade and I can only think of a handful that didn't use drugs in high school(small townthe 90s....there was nothing else to do). At least 20-25 of us became full blown addicts. Dare failed us spectacularly. If anything it taught us what good drugs should look like when they brought in the brief case in with different drugs the police had confiscated.
Not really. I was 17 when this aired in 1980. A senior in HS. It really didn't have any effect.
@@retha1875 speaking for myself, me and my friends would watch these things for laughs when we got stoned. I was 13 year old pothead already in 1980
Not a single girl with bright coloured hair, girls back then look million times better than 2023 girls
Yeah, nobody dyed their hair back then. 😂
🙂👽❤🔥As a Gen-X'er who grew up in the 80's, seeing these After School Specials and the commercials with them really brings me back to my youth. In my mind, I see myself as a kid again, paling around with my friends in the old neighborhood Uptown, Pittsburgh. In the summer we'd play ball in the streets, or games like Hide and Go Seek, It Tag, and Release the Den. Then turn on one of the fire hydrants to cool off from the heat. The topics of discussion were the girls that we crushed on, Transformers, or the things we wanted to do when we were older. Even though I grew up in the ghetto with whores on the corners, junkies on the streets, the occasional shooting up on Fifth Avenue, and having to deal with racism as a little white man, life was so much better. Even though we saw the end of a community that we were a part of that had ethnic fellowship and was tribal and cared about its members.
With all of their information and the convenience that they afford, life was simple before the advent of the Internet and cellular phones. What angers me is how our kids are corrupted at such a young age now by the amount of hardcore sex that they're exposed to. Any and all websites that contain adult material should be identified by the suffix of .xxx in their addresses, but they're not.
1978-1996.
Lol, boy talk about a MAJOR FAILURE that was focused on GenerationX clearly.
We just found them funny & funnier today
Who noticed a very young Wayne from The Wonder Years in that HOTWHEELS commercial at the end?
in 1970 my friend and i got high to go to a police /parents talk to say how deadly marijuana was. The climax was when a woman kept asking to tell how her kid has brain damage from smoking marijuana. She got up and told how he and a friend were downstairs in a basement and one of them hit the other with a hammer. The incredible illogic was mind bending.
I'm glad his brother didn't die. That would have totally killed my buzz.
