Default DrugFreeAmerica..finally..

It may be off-topic, but I want to commend them..for once.

They FINALLY made a commercial about something other than weed, or just generally drugs. I just saw a commercial about ecstacy and I felt really glad they were finally doing something about an actual problem.

This may be off-topic, but it isn't asking any direct questions about it's safety, it seem to fit the guidelines, but I was just glad and I thought it seemed right to give them for once a thumbsup.

How about a commercial about the biggest problem of them all.

Alcohol.

They have some against Underage drinking, but I agree, but I figured this is a step in the right direction.

After the last commercial about the baby drowing in a pool "Because you were getting stoned" I gave up any shred of hope that DrugFreeAmerica had any credibility, I just thought it deserved some recognition.

I saw a comercial about meth. Not sure who made it was Henry Rollins showing a racing engine that breaks down and he said this is what meth does to your heart. I was shocked. Nice to see them go after more than weed.

How about a commercial about real crimes, ones with victims. Why don't we have a partnership for a rape-free america, why don't they put all their money into commercials that may just benefit us. Non-violent drug users are not the problem, assault, murder, rape, stealing, those are problems. Its not the governments responsibility to protect us from ourselves. Id rather they have anti-meth commercials then anti-weed ones, but even more then that id rather have anti-rape or anti-anger commercials.

END THE WAR ON DRUGS
IT HAS FAILED, IT CANNOT BE WON!

not to go too off topic, but I believe its because ecstacy isn't in its pure form and is mixed with other chemicals thus resulting in death... oh course they don't mean that on the commerical, they are saying its bad overall.

thats what I heard, anyway.

Drugs are bad, mmmkay. You don't have to spend your life addicted to smack, homeless on the street giving handjobs for crack. Follow this plan and very soon you will say, "It's easy, mmmkay."

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

Yah, the problem is purity. Sure there is some pure MDMA out there, but about half the time it's not completely pure.

It's just more of a problem then weed, thats all.

Well i hard a story about a kid drowning in a pool while the mom was cooking supper. By that logic, we should spend bil;lions on a war on supper. And if that doesnt work, a war on breakfast. Who knows, maybe even a war on lunch. And if we find any food in your fridge, rehab then jail for you
