The anti-drug campaigns used in many countries are very poor.
I know people who have learnt more from the street then in education about drugs and are safer for it as a result. The anti government drug campaign makes people neglet what they should REALLY be learning and that is procedures to do whilst on certain drugs to prevent any fatalities, shock tactics may prevent people from trying it but if they do try it then what? And trust me from my experiance people over 16 are very likely to try stuff out, people who toke on weed expecting to see a monster in a mirror are more likely to react badly then people that know what to do if paranoia kicks in. The main case in point for this injuste system of drug control is MDMA or Ectasty (which is finnaly being re-classified) people are not taught to drink not drink too much or too little until they meet someone who uses it frequently and thats the most IMPORTANT advice you could ever recieve on anphetiminse as pure Ectasy and MDMA are not accounted for anymore then 1 - 4 direct deaths since its existance. But because the government refuses to tell people the truth behind such things people are either suffering from dehydration or water intoxication whilst on such drugs.
Another things is if it was legal moderated and taxed most drugs are safer then alcohol in pure form not only in physical effects but on the social interaction with people on such substances. People on Weed, E or Ketamine for example are not the sort of people looking for fights or to cause trouble as the emotional attachments with such drugs are that of either mellow or loved up tendancies, alcohol is legal yet is the #5 most dangerous drug directly according to a bbc study where as MDMA and Acid for example score under poppers and solvents in general

the reason for thier low "danger" is because theyre illegal, not many will touch them, alcohol being legal makes it dangerous as people buy and consume copious amounts, if people have 1 drink theyre obviously no danger to anyone, having a small portion of acid will fry ur brain, theres a major differene between the levels of danger and how much you consume, idiots who get pasted on a saturday night do as much damage to themselves as someone doing a small bit of cocaine or w.e
and i dont think having them moderated or taxed is any different to just making them pure legal, because the system will be abused, lie psudeoephedrine from cold and flu tablets, cold and flu tablets are LEGAL but they can be bought in bulk to produce illegal drugs. as a pharmacist i hafto be wary of those who do that, because the cold and flu tablets are legal and rarely regulated yet can be used to create dangerous drugs on the street.
plus, any legalisation of drugs is a justification that its "good for you" on a certian level, put it plain and simply, drugs are NOT good for you in ANY amount, and we cannot be telling our kids or anyone elses that drugs are good in "x" amount, it should ZERO amount, thats the idea of those campaigns, no matter how useless some of you think it is
and i like the idea of posting up ideas on what to do, not just the shock campaign, it would be great to see a joint run campaign, because a pure shock tactic isnt going to work on its own, especially for those ALREADY on drugs
