My friend a drug counselor played a video once on the dangers of drugs, it showed a group of friends going out taking pills, smoking dope.
The lad who took drugs was shown larking about acting like an idiot who ran in the road and got knocked down.
The problem was the teenagers watching the video thought the lad was having a lot more fun than his mate who kept trying to stop him.

Obvious. There is too much Government invested in it for them to want voluntarty reduction in drug use.

This is obvious to anyone who has been a teenager assaulted by these ads... basic 'forbidden fruit' philosophy. The vast majority of kids learn that illegal drugs exist through these gov't ads. "Hey kids, don't touch this, it's very very bad for you... oh, and by the way you can get it pretty much anywhere and don't even need to show ID to get it!"

Big surprise. There was a story a year or so ago about the Feds bringing in kids to discuss ad campaigns and ideas. The ads the kids said were effective were canned, and the ones they laughed at were "approved".

A radio guy I listen to over the web out of Pittsburg always says "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of it's stated intent"

Note how successful the efforts have been to prevent venereal disease and out-of-wedlock babies.

""It appears that ... anti-marijuana public statement announcements used in national anti-drug campaigns in the US produce immediate effects [that are the] opposite [of those] intended by the creators of this campaign," authors concluded."
Logically, those most opposed to drug use should be the most vocal in arguing for their legalization. However, due to ignorance, the opposite is true...

I can't stand to be around cigarette smoke, but I have a similar feeling watching those stupid "The Truth" commercials. I want to light one up just to spite the jerks.

Yup, have for a long time, which is odd because I live in Florida... but I found that show a few years ago via the web and listen almsot every day.
