The fact that this child appears to be younger than 5 years old and riding a bike without parental supervision along a busy commercial fairway is never addressed. Again, the ad would better serve parents who let their children play in the street unattended. Anyone, regardless of age, who darts in front of a moving car is likely to get run over. Marijuana has nothing to do with it.

Holy crap! I made this exact point in a thread about a month or so ago, and got reemed by some drug warrior for my "insensitivity". LOL!!!

The article is completly correct. All these commercials are complete lies and "worse case scenario" scare tactics. Kids even see through them

Quintessential 'bleeding heart' rhetoric---more proof that Drug Warriors are liberals.

What I find hilarious is that these ads are actually counterproductive to their stated purpose. Only a brain dead idiot can't see through them. They are a perfect example of the ONDCP's willingness to lie and manipulate to the public.

Buy do they ever. If anything, these psa's encourage drug use by bringing out the rebellious nature of teenagers.

If the teens were drinking and ran over the 5-year-old on a bike, how successful would they be arguing that "alcohol had nothing to do with it"?

But you think they should get a pass because it was marijuana?
