What do people think about them? I have seen them here and there when i've walked in the lounge room and have only seen three
*the one about xtc and speed
*the one about weed
*the one about smoking
I actually agree with the smoking one because smoking is one of the worst killers in australia and is LEGAL which is why it shits me that it seems to be ok to buy them (according to the government)
I understand that the other ads are trying to deter young children especially from trying these drugs but there a bit over the top don't you reckon?
My 10 year old asked me what xtc was.
That's so fucked that i was forced to explain it to him because of advertising and not when he is older and actually has a grasp of what drugs were.
Shouldn't the government be focosing on harm minimisation (like bl here) rather than the whole 'just say no' approach? Most kids ARE going to try drugs wether they know the dangers or not. Wouldn't it be better to educated them on how to be safe while on the stuff rather than just say "you don't know what it will do to you"
It's not like people that alreday do any of these drugs are going to have their minds changed and say "oh gee i didn't know that... better stop then!"
pffttttt
