there has been some recent posts about drugfreeworld.com , well, have you ever checked out above the influence? These guys had anti-marijuana ads on US national television. they have a section on the website called "Facts" wich points out marijuana as a potential causer of heart attacks, panic attacks, schizophrenia depression and addiction. http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/
at least it seems the campaign backfired .
From wikipedia :
In 2006, the Government Accountability Office released the results of 5-year-study, concluding that the campaign was completely ineffective, and was even counterproductive, leading those exposed to an increased perception that others use marijuana, stating, "analysis also indicated that among current, non-drug-using youth, exposure to the campaign had unfavorable effects on their anti-drug norms and perceptions of other youths’ use of marijuana—that is, greater exposure to the campaign was associated with weaker anti-drug norms and increases in the perceptions that others use marijuana."
Edit : haha just found out a section of the page called "why do people do drugs?" where a "reason" is givven followed by an answer to discredit it. so here it goes:
R:There are rumors that marijuana has some medicinal benefits.
A:Major medical organizations disagree.
