Drug Czar Walters Goes Out With a Whimper

by Bruce Mirken

On Nov. 4, voters spectacularly rejected eight years of the most intense government war on marijuana since the days of â??Reefer Madness,â?� led by outgoing White House drug czar John Walters â?? voting overwhelmingly for a variety of reform proposals, including marijuana decriminalization in Massachusetts and medical marijuana in Michigan.

The Office of National Drug Control Policy has reacted with eerie silence, making no statements and issuing no press releases. But today on ONDCPâ??s blog, the drug czarâ??s office unveiled what may be their lamest anti-marijuana campaign yet. Yes, your tax dollars are actually funding this. For now.

By the way, jobs held by people whoâ??ve acknowledged smoking marijuana include governor of California (Arnold Schwarzenegger), astronomer (Carl Sagan), mayor of New York (Michael Bloomberg), billionaire rock star/songwriter (Paul McCartney), and â?? well, you get the point.

ONDCPâ??s Ad Agency Peddles Booze to Kids

by Bruce Mirken

Yesterday we told you about a bizarre new anti-marijuana ad campaign from the increasingly beleaguered shop of White House drug czar John Walters. Well, to paraphrase Alice in Wonderland, things just get curiouser and curiouser.

It turns out the ad agency that put the new ads together is an outfit called McKinney. And according to McKinneyâ??s Web site, one of the agencyâ??s clients is Southern Comfort, a brand of liquor â?? a drug thatâ??s not only more addictive than marijuana, itâ??s vastly more toxic and orders of magnitude more likely to induce violence or aggression.

Oddly missing from ONDCPâ??s new ad blitz is any warning about the dangers of booze. But part of McKinneyâ??s work for Southern Comfort is something called the SoCo Night Institute, which is pretty explicitly aimed at students. â??Featured Coursesâ?� include â??Dancing With a Drink in Your Hand.â?�

Meanwhile, blogger Radley Balko was so amused by ONDCPâ??s new campaign that heâ??s asking readers to send in names of successful, important people whoâ??ve used marijuana. We suspect it will be a very long list.

lmfao. John Walters a comic genius....is what I would say if it wasn't for the fact that he was drop dead serious about keeping Mj illegal..."a remote control operator"? Sorry, I know we shouldn't take this lightly but it's just sooooo funny. It's worse then reefer madness.

"Is that what you want son? To become a Remote Control Operator? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!!!"

No wonder federal debt is so high if they spend valuable tax dollars on things like wars and weed demonization.

I would say that it could be considered a rasist poster.

It's actually pretty funny. I mean it's an ad resorting to the same stereotype of pot smokers that Cheech and Chong perpetuated. Actually, I'm sure 'up in smoke' probably did keep quite a few people from ever wanting to try weed - stay away from that stuff or it'll turn you into burnt-out brainless idiots like these guys. It's interesting, though - have we seen the end of scare ads built on long debunked claims? Are pathetic social stereotypes all they have left?

Of course times are changing, and the idiot stoner stereotype is dying out as well. Cheech and Chong are gone, now we have Harold and Kumar - both intelligent and highly functional characters. We have the Botwin family in Weeds (the final season of which will air next year... can't wait!), so the image of the burnt-out-stoner is being replaced in our popular media by a more balanced and less ludicrous version. The image being embraced by those ads is a generation out of date.
