Kudos for your editorial doubting the wisdom and effectiveness of the
planned media campaign targeting teenagers. The stated intent is to
warn youth off of drugs - not drugs mind you, only "Illegal" ones.

Who decided what shall be illegal? Not scientists and doctors, but
congressmen and unemployed alcohol prohibition law enforcement agents.

Sadly, the ads themselves will be nothing more than reflections of the
"reefer madness" images and half-truths residing in the minds of those
controlling the money spigot.
