I know a lot of people are saying gee the government anti drug programs are having the exact opposite effect that they want them to .I disagree I think this is exactly what the government wants to have happen.If these kids saw the anti drug ads and where scared away from doing drugs the cops and dea could not make any money from them through asset forfieture,court imposed fines for possesion,20,000 dollars a year in tax money to incarcerate people on drug charges and bigger budgets next year to fight the war on drugs. the entire house of cards would collapse instantly if they put out effective anti drug adds that worked

The funny thing is after the kids see all this anti-pot propaganda and go out an actually try the stuff, they realize they've been lied too. And if the government is lying to them about the effects of pot, its probably lying to them about the effects of crack too, or so goes their thinking.
I think the lesson to be learned is: Stop lying to kids!
