Research Group finds Drug ads to be Ineffective

[shoi]

it's about time they figured this out, the war on drugs was over before it even started, since the ads have been around there has been an INCREASE in the use of the herb! we spend more money on "marijuana prohibiton" than we do on missing children funds!

ive seen several things saying that it doesnt work, but if u look on the sights like drugfree.org ect ull see that they deny this and say they do work which is a problem cuase ppl tend to believe the DEA, FDA, and all those organizations.... that is unless they educate themselves a bit :thumbsup:
