i didn't do drugs until i was like a big adult, but the anti-drug programming we had in school and on TV as a kid were hilarious. first off, every arcade game had the "WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS - WILLIAM S. SESSIONS" with the FBI seal on it that would show for like 30 seconds across the cabinets.
in fifth grade, when my entire world was playing nintendo and nuturing dreams of growing up to be a ninja turtle, i had to write a "report" about the epidemic of babies born addicted to crack cocaine and how doing drugs even one time would make you die in agony, using some government pamphlet we were handed and instructed to read silently at our desks for 20 minutes as my only source. i had to stand up in front of a bunch of other kids and read this "report" i wrote, then sit through 30 more just like it.
**edit: my point being, when you let absolute losers from planet squaresville direct your PSAs, you are asking for pushback.

all the commercials, from the "this is your brain on drugs" where the guy fries an egg to authoritatively explain drugs to this incredible piece of shit where a father demonstrates exacty how not to talk to your child about literally anything . even us kids who believed that drugs were bad and evil made fun of that one and the kid's abruptly earnest confession.
