| P | A | I | N | T | B | A | L | L | : the anti drug

[paint magnet]

I was thinking that this would be a great promo for people to see that playing paintball is a good thing, it is exercise, promotes teamowork and keeps you out of trouble. I think a lot more people would play or let their children play if they knew about this.

There are actually quite a few reasons why it would keep people off drugs:

Well, first off it's very expensive so I can't afford to buy drugs

Drugs mess up your mind so you wouldn't ever win a game

slow you down, give you heart problems etc

I don't know, it's just an idea. But maybe if it was done right it would keep people from doing drugs and promote paintball at the same time. What do you think?

Yeah, considering how much paintball costs me, I can't afford drugs if I'd wanted them.

I totaly agree about pintball being anti-drug. One day, i met this guy at my local paintball field and we had a conversation about how he got into paintball. He said that he was a drug addict for 10 years (hes 18 now). And he said that he did every kind of drug out on the streets and the cops pulled him over for a search everytime they saw him walking on the streets. but one day he was caught and was sent to prison for a year for drug trafficing. After he got out, he immediately went to rehab and never did drugs again. right now, he has a felony charge against him, but hes had a clean record for the past year and the felony charge should be dropped. right now, he owns a 2k2 dark angel and plays every weekend. and he said to me "I love paintball over drugs cuz there is more of an adrenaline rush." even though he was a drug addict, he is a great guy to be around and he will give you pointers if he sees something that you need to work on. so good luck to him on his felony case. plus it would be really kool to see paintball on that anti-drug commercial.

im going to attach a beer helmet to my goggles so i can drink while i play...(soda that is...hahaha)

[Bigzamboni]

I think it would be a good idea.

As for the cigarettes and beer.. By definition, they can be considered drugs.

A certain field in Pennsylvania with a 3-letter name has a big problem with this in my opinion. Especially after scenario/big games.

[theraidenproject]

Ha ha. When my parents questioned the amount of money I spend on paintball, I said, "It's paintball or drugs; pick one."

[Surreal]

and it leaves you so broke, you have no money left over for drugs..

[Automaggin2]

PAINTBALL: It uses up my drug money!

[Xen]

id have to sell drugs to get drugs, but where would the orig drugs come from?

[la690]

i had some matches in my room and my mom questioned me about them. she asked if i had taken up smoking. i looked over at my e-mag, then a case of paint and then her and said "yes". at my field we are going to hook up with D.A.R.E and get some banners and have an officer come to the newb tourneys. it should be cool.
