ONDCP needs more funding so that more children can experience the wonders of drugs .

LOL, I love how more pork means more drug use. it's like, there a pattern here but I can't see it. maybe repealing the war on drugs might discourage the tennie boppers from doing drugs entirely?

I would not be surprised if anti drugs ads would lead to more use of drugs by teens. There are some threads about that topic.

I have observed the tendency that today's teens almost always distrust the government and its campaigns. And if they see such ridiculous antidrug ads, they will realize that they're just being brainwashed. Then they reject this and start to use drugs. Kids are not as stupid as the government thinks.
