I get what you mean, 888. But I'm talking about recreational drugs. I'm not thrilled with prescription drugs either and do my very best to avoid them whenever I can!
Does anyone remember the PSA with the sad music in the background and it showed loved ones disappearing in different scenes? (The idea was that drugs made them disappear/killed them). OMG that one totally broke my heart!!!!! And, like the Suzie one, it had a really serious narrator with a great speaking voice. I can't find it anywhere. But omg did it affect me!!!! *shudder* I remember being creeped out when I saw it and also soooo very sad...I literally cried to my aunt about it!
Omg I remember this PSA!!!! It's sad and scary!! I remember being frightened and crying from it when I saw it in the 80's as a child! Still gives me chills!! I tell you, some of the PSA commercials were GOOD (such as this one)! Granted, most were stupid, but there were some really good ones back then. I'll tell you one thing: I have never taken any drugs in my entire life, or for that matter even smoked a cigarette!!
when you say "no" to your kids about drugs, it usually just makes them want to do it more. you just have to tell them about the dangers and let them know that it's a continuum and that weed, for example, won't necessarily kill you, but it's all about avoiding excesses. same with alcohol. but telling your kids "DRUGS ARE BAD!!!" period, means they'll totally just be curious. i know i was.
There was something going on in Susie's head that was a lot worse than weed or crack if she jumped out the damn window. Do these morons do any research into drug abuse or do they just make up idiotic bullshit to scare the public away from cheap forms of leisure?
Uhm...Did suzie drop her bong? XD. I like how they took her away in an ambulance. Apparently Suzie is the only person in the history of mankind that has died/and or been injured/ from weed...
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED,it makes you crazy. See
Partnership for a drug free america is mostly funded by the pharmaceutical industries. The "Big Pharmas" are afraid that if we were to legalize non-addictive, helpful drugs like marijuana, MDMA, or LSD, they would be used to treat mental illnesses and pain instead of the "Big Pharma's" pills. This country is pretty much run by large corporations and they do not care about you, only how green your wallet is. So much corruption in this country.
Thats right, absolutely true. You should tell you kids about drugs, we need to rid the society deadly, super addictive drugs like marijuana, ecstasy and LSD. Drugs will kill you on your first go. You dont even have to take these drugs, if you look at them, you will surely die. Alcohol on the other hand is OK to use because it is taxed by the government. Did you know that Partnership for a Drug Free America is funded by alcohol companies? They obviously care for our health.
Just a quick fun fact for everyone. PSA is funded by tobacco companies. Last time I checked, cigs kill more people each year than any other legal or illegal substance. The fact that pretty much every statement made in any of these commercials is 80 percent bullshit and 20 percent horseshit is also a good reason to ignore these ads.
mostly those pipes like the one in the vid are used for crack, a normal meth pipe doesnt have a bowl its just a glass bubble with a hole in it and a stem shooting out where you put mouth.
Theres all kinds of ways to smoke crack and meth though.
I love how these ads are always targeted to affluent, middle-class white suburbanites, when drugs were a problem that had a much greater effect on people in the cities, the lower classes, and with minorities.
You are absolutely wrong. everyone from all classes do drugs. The only reason they are a problem is because minorities do them. Wake up and see the world. The reason Weed became legal was to make more reasons to put black people in jail. do some research
I never said drugs didn't affect people from all wakes of life, I just said they had a greater (negative) effect on inner-city minorities and the working classes. This is a fact.
Illicit drug use amongst blacks is at 10.1%, the highest % of any race.
The rate of drug use among the unemployed is over half that of people with full-time jobs.
Area-wise, Large Metropolitan areas have the highest % of users (8.5), with'Small Metropolitan' (ie, Pittsburgh) coming in second.
Also, I agree that part of the reason for criminalizing weed was to punish blacks (you meant to say ILLEGAL.)
However, if you look at more drug PSAs from the 80's, many of them talk only about crack. Though drugs do affect all races and classes, crack use was limited mostly to poorer, working classes (which, in the 1980's, meant more blacks.)
Yet, most of the people in the commercials (whether they are speaking to us, or are acting as the 'user' or someone affected by their use) are white.
The main exception? Drug dealers in these ads are ususally black.
All I am pointing out is how these ads do little more than to warn the middle-class about the 'evil' working-class users they will probably never encounter. The ads also try to justify the US's insanely long prison sentences for crack cocaine use (as opposed to other drugs, including powder.)
They are uninformative and serve only to pat their target audience on the back for being straight-laced. Do some research.
may cause vomiting, dizzyness, loss of appetite, and in some cases death...but if you have a headache, depression, tooth ache, splinter, or small abrasion, consult your physician and ask him about the newest pharmaceutical breakthrough.... i think ill take my chances and burn one...thanks anyway...
They say marijuana leads to other drugs. Truth is marijuana leads to shop class. I quit long ago, not because I didn't like it. I quit because I didn't want to try turning a coffee pot into a bong.
the only thing my parents ever said to me about drugs was "stay out of the bathroom" I have never abused pharms. or anything beyonds shrooms. the 3 things I have used are shrooms, weed, and salvia. had my parents not said that I would most likely be the same though because of the people who I befriended.
Ugggg see the anti-drug people give the information that all drugs are bad. Some drugs have beneficial uses A.K.A pharmacys so we know this is false.
The pot dealers give the information "Its natural so its good" , We know belladonna is natural but its components will kill you so we know this is false.
The amphetamine/pill/other dealers give the information all drugs can be bad, but it depends on how you use them. This the closest to the truth I have gotten.
pot is a natural thing that won't hurt you...just like vegetables...natural from the ground...but harmless...not everything that is natural is harmless though....but pot is most definitely harmless
Those websites are from the government...of course their gonna say that marijuana is more unhealthy because they make laws against it, obviously they dont want it to be legal....secondly i smoke pot regularly (everyday for about a year now give or take about two weeks or so) and i mean common sense can tell you that pot smoke is way cleaner and smoother by the way it tastes....it tastes better and feels cleaner without a filter than cigarette smoke does with one
Governement studies show that marijuana is harmful...BUT EVERY OTHER STUDY DONE BY A NON GOVERNMENT FUNDED OR GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED COMPANY SHOWS ITS ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL. No need for caps but i felt like it :)
The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.
The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."
keep tryin man the waits worth it....shrooms are fucking great youll gain a higher consciousness man like you'll finally realize what the fucks up with the world haha
hah! i finally have found it. I've been looking for this ad for a while. Remember it from my childhood... left a hard impression on me, though I thought I remembered it being a bit more graphic, showing the girl's feet on the bedroom floor and a gurney being rolled from the house and into the ambulance.... oh well...
This ad just shows what happens when you are bad parents. I bet these groups don't advertise againt the use of pharmaceutical drugs, which is WAY more destructive than weed for instance.
@coffeebuzzz I agree that it's important for parents to talk to their kids about drugs. Mine never thought to because I was so sheltered, but even as a young adult now, I wish they had.
@DivineMoleculeDMT only because they're more easily accessible and less likely to land you in jail, therefore more frequently abused. the fact remains that pharmaceuticals are made to help you, or at worst do absolutely nothing, while recreational drugs make no such promises.
Is it just me or does SUzie look like a grown ass woman in one of the pictures? The one where she is smiling with her parents on either side of her? She looks to be in her 20s.
Does anyone have that one ad with the guy walking in circles going "I snort coke, so I work longer, so I can make more money, so I can buy more coke."? I thought that was a messed up commercial.
I remember this ad! it really disturbed me when I was a kid. But now that i'm older, i know that most teens don't go from mr/ms perfect to crackhead who od's, like susie. Still, sad commercial. I can imagine it's awful to lose a child to drugs
in another PDFA ad, a sad looking couple is told they cant have kids because the husband used to smoke pot.this is a direct contradiction both of the clinical evidence developed in nearly a century of cannabis studies and of the personal experiences of millions of americans who have smoked pot and borne perfectly healthy children.
well, do you remember a PDFA ad showing a train wreckage with a man saying Anyone who tells you that "marijuana is harmless" is lying, because hsi wife was killed in a train accident caused by marijuana. Let me know if you recall this ad or not,and i'll continue with what I have to say..
to continue..what the man says in the ad is a COMPLETE contradiction to the direct sworn testimony of the engineer responsible for the disaster, who stated "this accident was not caused by marijuana." this ad delibratley ignores his admission of drinking alcohol,snacking,watching TV,generally failing to pay adequate attention to his job,and deliberatley jamming the train's safety equipment prior to the accident.yet for years, the PDFA ran this ad blaming the accident on pot.
in a nut shell,yes.what should've been blamed was alcohol and negligence and the PDFA is wrong for showing these ads which are full of skewed misinformation.they were asked many times to remove or correct Train Wreck ad,but instead wrongfully carried on with airing it for years.we should stop calling these PDFA comemrcials PSAs.cuz theyre not PSAs,theyre slickly packaged lies that misinform a public that deserves the truth
and that's why I feel the PDFA is a joke. not because they are anti-marijuana. but because they are misinforming the public and they are fully aware of it.
Yeah, a large factor was how huge heroin and cocaine had become and crack cocaine. In fact, you could trace a lot of the anti-drug sentiment in the PDFA to how enormous crack became in the inner-city and it was really frightening how it was portrayed in the media.
I used to live across the street from Fraternity Row at my alma mater and saw scenes like the one at the 52-second mark of this commercial outside of my window on a regular basis - at least once a month, sometimes two or three times. guess which perfectly legal and very aggressively marketed drug the kid in the ambulance had "overdosed" on?
poor suzie with her crackhead self. Did her parents see the warnning signs i mean they should't known about her stealing fitty dollars from them all the time. The changes of her apperance, the crack pipe in the bathroom and the crack rock all over her bedroom dresser. Shame on her parents for not helping her you idiots!
Does anyone have the link to the commercial from the 90s where the girl got pregnant because she got high or something? I think it was about how pot alters your judgement, and therefore makes you into a whore who gets knocked up while stoned... I just remember it being hilarious.
Last year prescription drugs killed 450 ,000 + people ! Last year 17,000 people died from chronic use of non steroidal anti inflamitory drugs (tylenol ) in America ! That means more people died in 2007 from Ibuprofen and Tylenol than Heroin and Cocaine ! That is a an actual statistic that can be verified ! I used the FBI and JAMA stats .
They did a study , heroine and alchohol had the same rate of addiction among people who began using ! Is alchohol that dangerous or is heroine that safe ?
Um, yes her parents should have talked to Susie about drugs. But was Susie living under a rock? How could she not know that drugs kill, it was all over the place in the '80s!
Plus I think the parents should have taught Susie to have respect for herself and her body, and deal with her problems in other ways, not just that "drugs can kill." Because some people know that and do it anyway.
PDFA should put all of their PSA's from the 1980's and 1990's up on Youtube. They likely won't work on this generation because it is so messed up but for those of us who grew up back then the PSA's were interesting and sometimes even scary.
I remember that commercial and boy did it give me shivers. It still does. And I do agree with the fact that these PSAs don't have the scare that they used to during the late 1980s and early 1990's.
That was very ignorant comment I made but posting lies and calling me an addict(I've stopped smoking weed before for a job, no problems) is just as bad.
Plus;
I've smoke weed, only weed. Never anything harder. My friends smoke weed, only weed.
i know a lot of people that haven't tried anything other than smoking weed. just because you haven't met any doesn't mean they don't exist. i hope you're also against alcohol, because that is a legal addicting substance that can actually lead to addiction,overdose and death.
I agree w/you,Lindsey...tabacco and alcohol are the true gateway drugs but now Rx abuse is rapidly overtaking them...and all three are legal..sad,isn't it?
but im not gonna lie i did do alot of other shit, but most kids i know dont, im basically done with it all now tho, like once every 2 months ill smoke because i get drug tested
ask them what the first LEGAL drug they tried was? oxy contin? alchohol? tobacco? coffee? and there are alot of pot heads who just stick with pot. like me!
well no shit they first tried weed because its the lowest, the whole gateway is common sense that they turned into somehting to make it seem bad, smoking weed doesnt lead to harder things, curiosity does and i tried dxm, alcohol, cigs, pain killers and wanted 2 do coke before i ever tried weed (no i realize coke is dumb and dont want to do it anymore never ended up tryin it)
I noticed that PSAs aren't as powerful as they used to be back then. I remember one with the kid being hung like a puppet in a dark room smoking. Quite creepy.
I remember that one. It was something about peer pressure, and it said that when other kids tell you that pot is cool, "they're pulling your strings". At least I think that was it. I only saw it twice, and I wasn't able to watch it all the way through.
Yeah really. I wonder if it is on here yet. That one used to creep me out during Saturday morning cartoon times. I'll tell you what. I haven't done a single pleasure drug in my life.
I found it! I actually found that PSA while looking for something totally different. It's in "90's Kids Commercials Part II' by a user called "makomichiruyaten" The PSA starts at the one-minute mark.
*watches* After 16 years, it doesn't seem that scary. I had my eyes closed through half of it back then so it was really the music (I once described it as "carnival from hell") that did it for me.
Yes, because we all know the countless children that died from marajuana use. The numbers greatly outweigh that of alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs...
This PSA is really sad. Make's me wonder if Suzie was actually a real person. Either way,this use to scare me as well as made me cry while watching afternoon cartoon's back in the days.
This ones pretty good. But....Please if anyone has the "Nobody ever says I want to be a Junkie when I grow up" ballerina psa, please post it! Thats the one I remember best as being the scariest thing ever.
I get what you mean, 888. But I'm talking about recreational drugs. I'm not thrilled with prescription drugs either and do my very best to avoid them whenever I can!

This ad just shows what happens when you are bad parents. I bet these groups don't advertise againt the use of pharmaceutical drugs, which is WAY more destructive than weed for instance.

Actually, 90% of their funds come from five companies:
GlaxoSmithKlien-Pharmaceuticals
Phizer-Pharmaceuticals
Anheuser Busch-Budweiser, Michelob, etc
R.J. Renolds-Camel, Pall Mall, etc
Phillip Morris-Marlboro, Virginia Slims, etc
That's why the only ads you see are against weed which is the safest drug known to man

@coffeebuzzz I agree that it's important for parents to talk to their kids about drugs. Mine never thought to because I was so sheltered, but even as a young adult now, I wish they had.

@coffeebuzzz Not only that, prescription drugs are also within reach whereas Mary Jane (weed) is not always so easy to hide.

@coffeebuzzz Pharmacutical drugs kill more people than illegal drugs.

@DivineMoleculeDMT only because they're more easily accessible and less likely to land you in jail, therefore more frequently abused. the fact remains that pharmaceuticals are made to help you, or at worst do absolutely nothing, while recreational drugs make no such promises.

Is it just me or does SUzie look like a grown ass woman in one of the pictures? The one where she is smiling with her parents on either side of her? She looks to be in her 20s.

Does anyone have that one ad with the guy walking in circles going "I snort coke, so I work longer, so I can make more money, so I can buy more coke."? I thought that was a messed up commercial.

Do a search on "so i can do more coke". If you can't find it, retrojunk has it.
mordredt02 2 years ago
I remember this ad! it really disturbed me when I was a kid. But now that i'm older, i know that most teens don't go from mr/ms perfect to crackhead who od's, like susie. Still, sad commercial. I can imagine it's awful to lose a child to drugs
msjacksoncounty 3 years ago
in another PDFA ad, a sad looking couple is told they cant have kids because the husband used to smoke pot.this is a direct contradiction both of the clinical evidence developed in nearly a century of cannabis studies and of the personal experiences of millions of americans who have smoked pot and borne perfectly healthy children.
McSpic88 3 years ago
the PDFA is a joke
McSpic88 3 years ago
how do you figure that?
MelissaMSweet 3 years ago
well, do you remember a PDFA ad showing a train wreckage with a man saying Anyone who tells you that "marijuana is harmless" is lying, because hsi wife was killed in a train accident caused by marijuana. Let me know if you recall this ad or not,and i'll continue with what I have to say..
McSpic88 3 years ago
was this in 91'
MelissaMSweet 3 years ago
probably,not sure.
to continue..what the man says in the ad is a COMPLETE contradiction to the direct sworn testimony of the engineer responsible for the disaster, who stated "this accident was not caused by marijuana." this ad delibratley ignores his admission of drinking alcohol,snacking,watching TV,generally failing to pay adequate attention to his job,and deliberatley jamming the train's safety equipment prior to the accident.yet for years, the PDFA ran this ad blaming the accident on pot.
McSpic88 3 years ago
So pot was blamed instead of negligence in terms of keeping the train running safely is what your trying to say?
MelissaMSweet 3 years ago
in a nut shell,yes.what should've been blamed was alcohol and negligence and the PDFA is wrong for showing these ads which are full of skewed misinformation.they were asked many times to remove or correct Train Wreck ad,but instead wrongfully carried on with airing it for years.we should stop calling these PDFA comemrcials PSAs.cuz theyre not PSAs,theyre slickly packaged lies that misinform a public that deserves the truth
McSpic88 3 years ago
Your aboslutely right.
MelissaMSweet 3 years ago
and that's why I feel the PDFA is a joke. not because they are anti-marijuana. but because they are misinforming the public and they are fully aware of it.

So it's all about the money, is what it comes down to.

Lottech96 3 years ago 3
Yeah, a large factor was how huge heroin and cocaine had become and crack cocaine. In fact, you could trace a lot of the anti-drug sentiment in the PDFA to how enormous crack became in the inner-city and it was really frightening how it was portrayed in the media.

That means more people died in 2007 from Ibuprofen and Tylenol than Heroin and Cocaine ! That is a an actual statistic that can be verified ! I used the FBI and JAMA stats .

Um, yes her parents should have talked to Susie about drugs. But was Susie living under a rock? How could she not know that drugs kill, it was all over the place in the '80s!
Plus I think the parents should have taught Susie to have respect for herself and her body, and deal with her problems in other ways, not just that "drugs can kill." Because some people know that and do it anyway.

PDFA should put all of their PSA's from the 1980's and 1990's up on Youtube. They likely won't work on this generation because it is so messed up but for those of us who grew up back then the PSA's were interesting and sometimes even scary.

how many pot smokers have only stuck to pot?
or ask any junkie like yourself,what was the first illegal drug they tried...

That was very ignorant comment I made but posting lies and calling me an addict(I've stopped smoking weed before for a job, no problems) is just as bad.
Plus;
I've smoke weed, only weed. Never anything harder. My friends smoke weed, only weed.
And The DEA studies lie so their job.
imanerd36 3 years ago 2
i know a lot of people that haven't tried anything other than smoking weed. just because you haven't met any doesn't mean they don't exist. i hope you're also against alcohol, because that is a legal addicting substance that can actually lead to addiction,overdose and death.

well no shit they first tried weed because its the lowest, the whole gateway is common sense that they turned into somehting to make it seem bad, smoking weed doesnt lead to harder things, curiosity does and i tried dxm, alcohol, cigs, pain killers and wanted 2 do coke before i ever tried weed (no i realize coke is dumb and dont want to do it anymore never ended up tryin it)
