If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
I used to be indecisive, but I'm not so sure now.....

some of the anti smoking ads here, that i havent seen for ages, coincedentally, were rather good. a guy cutting a brain open and showing the blood clot from a stroke, caused by smoking, an aorta getting all the gunk squeezed out of it, someone pouring a glass of tar over a pair of lungs. very graphic, slightly disturbing, and a lot more effective than 'dont monkey with drugs' or 'Crack is Wack'.
Seriously, these are exactly the kinds of things they used in the experiement which proved this kind of thing does nothing to stop existing behaviour, it only acts as a preventative measure to stop new people doing it. So whilst it's useful on that front, it does virtually nothing to help those who are already addicted. It needs practical advice if it'll work.
Strange but true, and strange it doesn't seem to have been noted by those who work in health promotion!

If anti drug campaigns showed the horrible side effects of doing drugs, like, for instance, jail terms for theft (to buy more), or living the rest of one's life as a vegetable because one cooked one's brain on X, or some such similar thing, then campaigns would be a lot more effective. and show the kids. sure, the uber conservative parents will bleat about how they dont want little jimmy being scared by an advert showing a big scary man mugging some poor little girl for 20 dollars to go get a hit, but the same parents probably dont want little jimmy to turn into aforementioned big scary man mugging girl, so stuff them. show it graphiic, show it bad, show it worse than it is, in the hopes that little jimmy says to himself 'gee, i dont want to turn into that'. show the junky being rejected for jobs, show the addict digging through a bin for food. scare people, revulse people, make it effective. for gods sake, dont coat it in sugar and only show it during the daytime soapies when the people that should see it are at school, because it wont do jack.

Unlike the anti-tobacco campaigns put out by the tobacco companies, which have been shown to INCREASE teen smoking (duh...like the government didn't see THAT coming a mile away?) The Truth has been shown to decrease teen smoking.

You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

A harm reduction campaign consisting of both sides of the story (basically, drugs are good, but also bad in equal measure), that treats people as intelligent human beings, capable of making their own well informed decisions, will always work better than the 'lies to children' (as Terry Pratchett puts it) campaigns that are insulting to the target audience and hence ignored completely.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
