They idea of drug-free America is a good idea, drugs should be free

This video is right. Broken bongs can really be a serious hazard.

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!

@oxfordpictionary Plenty of parents tell their kids about the dangers. People do it anyway because it makes them feel good. You can't use logic.

@kittipride

You have never drank water, caffeine, or ate food?

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?

[ArtERie11293]

Was that a bong or a crack pipe? Cuz it looked kinda funny if its a bong and if its a crack pipe it looks about right.

[bdwriley]

This is the most heartbreaking one!

@MrMaryJanes It was supposed to be a crack pipe, not a bong.
