Respectable Anti-Drug Commercials

I actually saw an anti-drug commercial today that I respected. It showed a pre-teen girl going around doing everyday things, and the "ghost" of the mother followed her around, giving her instructions. Like when she got in the car, her "mom" said "buckle your seatbelt," and she buckled it. Then the mom disappeared, and the two other girls in the car offered her some pot. The voiceover said, "If you've never told her, how is she going to know what to do?"

With the state of parenting today, I thought it was an *incredibly* well-made commercial, and not only that, entirely reasonable. They didn't stigmatize pot, connect it to terrorism, or demonize it in the typical ridiculous ways. They didn't show kids turning to drug-addled freaks after one puff, they didn't make drastic claims. They just suggested that good parenting can prevent drug use (which has been proven time and time again).

Could this be an indicator of the changing view of drugs in America? Or is it simply an outlier? Has anyone else seen any good ones?
 
i think this one might be a rarity

the ones that really piss me off are the ones that tell you to not let other people decide for you, but then they tell you not to do drugs. how does that make sense?
 
I hate the one where 2 friends are sitting in a room and one is like a lump of clay on the couch. The other says that they don't have any more fun now that her friend smokes weed. Give me a fucking break! I hope the majority of people realize how ludicrous this propaganda bullshit is a farce that is completely irrelevant. 8(

I like how they have an ambiguous ending, letting you come up with the message.

The next line could be "Talk to your kids about how to properly hit a joint. It's very important to not get sloppy and wet the end."

Goddamn fucking pre-teens. When will people learn, smoking in a car is almost a sure-fire way to get busted at some point?
 
Good point, don't forget to tell your kids.

Not sure on my own mother's drug stance, she certainly wouldn't throw a fit though. Growing up, she did seem pretty worried about drugs. But when I was maybe 8 or so, I remember her saying to me, "When you're older, if you *do* decide to do drugs, do them at home. You'll just get in trouble out there."
 
I saw a pretty funny one against excessive drinking, guy wakes up all boozed up and finds a "tatoo parlor" matches in his pocket , all scared he runs to the bathroom and checks his stomach and arms, luckily there is only an piercing in his nipple. He sighs with relief since he obviously doesnt remember anything, and as he turns around and walks out of the bathroom the camera is still focused on the mirror, and we see a a HUGE tattoo covering his whole back "Joe's tatoo's , come to us for some tattos" with some funky dragons etc. Hillarious.
 
the one that was pretty effective and true was the anti-pot commercial that showed some like 28 year old burnout sitting on a couch watching cartoons. then his lil brother comes down the stairs and says, "my brother never went to jail, never turned to hard drugs blah blah blah.........he never did anything."

most pot commericals are always a good laugh when you are high, like the kids at the drive thru that hit the girl. But this commercial hits a lil close to home,ha.
 
What was that one that had a meth jingle?

"i dont sleep, and i dont eat, but ive got the cleanest house on the street, ohh meth..mmm meth...."

yup. respect.
 
We don't have any anti-drug commercials here in the UK as far as i know, but i saw one on "Tarrant On TV" once that i think was from Australia which was a good idea.

This guy goes into a toilet in a club, and i think he gets out a razorblade, so you're thinking he's going to chop out a line of charlie. But he takes the top of his head off, cuts out a bit of his brain, chops it out then snorts it.

That commercial is pretty legit. I've almost killed a few people while driving while nodding.

LOL, that shit made my day.
 
no drug commercial is respectable. if you need the mainstream anti-drug culture to aid in parenting your kids there is something fundamentally wrong with you being a parent. also, if you do not know that you CAN NOT handle driving while intoxicated on any substance - is propaganda going suddenly provide you with an epiphany?

I say keep drugs off of commercials - but I do respect your point KITD, that commercial seems like a diamond in the rough.
 
I have a great idea for one.

"Yeah... I threw away my career, my boyfriend, my car... I used to have a future, I had a life... and then one day, I did weed... and I couldn't ever leave the fridge."

remember kids theres no hope in dope

Unlike pretty much every other consumable, drugs don't need commercials to sell. ;)
