"Darkness cannot be dissipated with more darkness.
As she has entered the Salt Lake City Police Department’s anti-drug art contest for the past four years, Highland High School senior Melody Bodily has learned a few things about sending a message.

This year she went from being a finalist to one of two students who took the $2,500 top prize including billboard displays of their posters.

"It looks great but it’s a little weird seeing my face on billboards," Bodily said Wednesday when she was publicly recognized by SLCPD Chief Chris Burbank. "Usually I would draw but I realized that with drawing it’s hard to capture an audience, so I decided to go with a picture."

Bodily used a photograph of herself and split the image into what a future could look like without drugs and one with the use of drugs.

anybody else notice the reagan on the billboard, and anyone else find it ironic thye go to HIGHland high?
 
I graduated high school and got arrested for the first time this summer. I'll tell you that my jail picture didn't look like that and neither did my graduate pic. Wanna know why? I got arrested the night I finished summer school earning the one credit I needed to graduate. I'm in college now but facing felony charges. I'm a lot more anxious now and messed up looking because of the law, not the pot I was caught with. Sure I was a little less focused but smoking didn't ruin my life like the arrest is might do.

That bitch fails to address that drug use should be considered a health issue and is only made a criminal issue because of the government, not actual users.

I don't think highschoolers care much about drugs causing health issues at that point in life --- as a teenager, most think they are invincible, even beyond that, until things start to go wrong. I think that for the purposes of the task, approaching the "getting in trouble" side could be more effective to young people who would rather stay out of jail than worry about becoming an addict, because no one "tries" drugs a few times and sees any of the health parts of it and don't see that as a reason to stop.

I wonder what her actual view of drugs is when there isn't $2500 to be won.

This billboard seems to state that if you take drugs you will end up in prison, because drug users are criminals...Sigh.

Actually an old fashioned and heavy handed advertisement. The competition must have been dire.
 
They give $2500 away for this? That's about how much it cost to clean up a small home meth lab
 
"Know" drugs? How can you "know" drugs if you abstain from them completely? All of your "knowledge" about drugs at that point comes from high school propaganda and hearsay from friends who, considering that you're so vehemently against drugs, probably don't know what the fuck they're talking about ("Like, my cousin's friend smoked weed this one time, and he got so high that he had to go to the hospital cuz he jumped out the window. Don't smoke weed man, that shit's dangerous").
 
For real, hell, I wouldn't even call some users educated. I think the main people who are educated are-whether or not they use-are those who actually research the facts.

I hope I don't get flamed for ^ but I'm sure everyone on here is glad they found this site, among others, in their quest for knowledge and understanding of the chemicals we consume.

I read somewhere that when someone contacted the DEA over something, they directed them to Erowid. I can't remember where but I'd love to link it as though it may not seem believable, it seems like the right thing to do.
 
Don't want her bodily fluids, that's for sure. She should stop binging on fat food, the first drug of Amerikkka.
