Rappers promoting drugs?

So the question of this video, is Ludacris promoting drugs? Even though the song is about marijuana was it necessary for him to show all of this in his video? In my opinion it wasn't. When I first heard this song I thought it was funny and I pictured the video was probably equally hilarious. I didn't picture that the video would be of a rapper I liked doing something REALLY illegal. This video makes it seem like he is really trying to promote smoking marijuana and that makes me nervous. I don't approve of this because my nephews listen to Ludacris and the thought that he is promoting drugs knowing that younger kids listen to his music is ridiculous. What type of person makes it seem like it’s alright to ruin your brain with an illegal substance knowing that the youth of our nation will be listening. In a way I feel like this is one smaller step in corrupting our country. From drugs to alcohol to the lack of education because it’s not cool, this is just another addition to the collection of stupidity that our society is racking up.
