Weed ad mocks those ridiculous prescription drug commercials
Watch Next

Anyone with a cable TV subscription can relate to the onslaught of prescription drug commercials, and the laughable formula they all use in order to push you to inquire about them with your doctor.

The commercials are messed up on so many levels, but to truly grasp their absurdity, a parody is necessary.

Poking fun at the ads, cannabis delivery company Briteside unleashed this hilarious spoof that will make you dream up some symptoms of your own, just like the drug commercials. Just beware of the side effects, that may include: euphoria, increased appetite, uncontrollable giggles, elevated sensitivity to musical dopeness, and reduced anxiety.

The ad from Briteside announces the launch of Discovery Box, a subscription-based delivery service, as well as a service called Shop Now, which offers same-day delivery and pickup of medical and recreational cannabis in Portland, Bend, and Ashland, Oregon.
