Consider the drug war won

So the other day I was watching this mockumentary called Stoners in the Mist.

Now there have been a lot of hilariously ineffective anti-drug campaigns. From Devil Weed propaganda films back in the day to I learned by watching you to this is your brain on drugs to you will shoot everyone you care about if you smoke pot to blowing rails of your brain there is a long and storied history of idiotic anti-drug campaigns in this country.

What all these anti-drug campaigns miss is one oh so important fact. Drugs are cool. No government-issued propaganda will ever change that. In fact, you could argue that these anti-drug campaigns have the opposite of their intended effect -- ie make rebellious youngsters wonder what all the fuss is about. When you make drugs seem mysterious and scary, the cool kids are going to be drawn to them. The only ones who the anti-drug people reach with most of these ads are the squares who are too lame to try drugs anyway.

But this new 'stoners in the mist' thing actually seems like it was put together by someone who actually has knowledge of the drug culture. Observing the stoner in their native habitat of their parents basement. That is mildly amusing. Whoever put this together might have actually tried drugs. Or at least read Fear and Loathing. Kudos sirs: you finally made an anti-drug campaign that is entertaining to people on drugs. Sure users have long enjoyed anti-drug ads on an ironic level -- but this like satire of a parody. Or something. I can't really be sure cause I'm a little high right now.
