HowToStopSmokingMarijuana.com Sucks
January 26th, 2007 by AlexI honestly don’t even know what to say about this one. It’s like Cannabis Addicts on steroids combined with horrible video effects and bad editing. Oh yea, his website style looks slightly familiar too.
I’m not sure what sort of weed this guy used to smoke, but when I come across some liquid lead kush I’ll be sure to let everyone know.
If the video’s goal is to advertise how great his life is without marijuana then someone needs to go back to marketing school. Instead, this video is just a badly thought out scare tactic.
HowToStopSmokingMarijuana.com has all the characteristics of a money making scheme. It’s also badly developed and executed. Hopefully, everyone here & over the pond knows to stay away from this sort of crap.
One more lame video after the jump.
Site Takes Money from Cannabis “Addicts”
January 24th, 2007 by Alex
In the internet advertising industry there are many different ways to scam people out of time and money. You can promise Free $500 Gift Cards, offer Debt Consolidation or sucker people into completely worthless programs. It’s not hard to spot these sort of operations and one happened to come across my inbox the other day – Cannabis Addicts.
All these bogus sites tend to share the same characteristics:
- Long, overblown product explanations
- Plenty of fake “customer” endorsements
- An expert system creator to add credibility
- Some random advertising company hiding behind it all
So, what’s the end result of all this? If you want to quit smoking pot, which is totally cool by me, do it the right way. Talk to a doctor or a friend who’s done it successfully. Don’t be another victim and pay out of pocket for some lame attempt to rip people off.
Update: Turns out that Cannabis Addicts has their own weblog. The posts seem genuine enough, but you can always tell the real motivation by how many times the owner links back to his own products. In the end, it’s all a money grab.
