just because it wasn’t mentioned anywhere: this campaign came out of ad agency venables, bell&partners in san francisco. ( http://www.venablesbell.com )

you could ask them how the campaign has performed, agencies usually have a lot of those kind of numbers.

I have worked as a drug counselor/case manager for several years. I don’t know what will untimately work, but I’m all for trying something! To the person who believes that it is your right to do what you wish to your own body…. if it were just your body that was affected, I’d agree, but I think even you know better than that!

I saw this linked from another at Pop Crunch which says had this:

“The group was founded by billionaire Thomas Siebel and has had great success. Since the campaign was started teen meth use is down 45% and adult meth use has fallen by 72%. Other states with meth problems have begun running the ads, including Arizona and Illinois.”

Presuming thats true, its great. I’ve seen a lot of problem meth heads around here- and one problem is that most people around (including me) believe that a person has a right to do what they will with their own body. I do not believe “law enforcement” makes anything better in these cases. And yet, anti-drug programs in schools demonstrably lie about other, softer, drugs.

People hear what happens to meth heads so they know these ads are true. Put the ugly reality of it out there and fewer people will try it.

^ I hope the money from these ads was directed to research methods of making the manufacturing of meth cheaper.

People don’t become addicted to drugs because they didn’t see enough PSA’s. I wish the money going in to these ads was being redirected to improving treatment for meth, and impriving access to it. 80% of the people who need treatment for meth don’t have access to it. So what’s the point?

Wow. Those are pretty disgusting. Pretty eye-opening, too. I wonder if those billboards actually work, though…
