This reminded me about year 2000 or so when we seemingly did not have any (relatively) serious problems and so our tax money was spent on stuff like this
Wake up babe, Reefer Madness 2 is about to drop
Hi crackheads :)
It's weed. Who cares? Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.
No see they get kickbacks from those so it's ok
If the DEA wanted to warn people of a real danger on the streets, they'd warn people about cops. Do you hsve ANY idea how many people cops kill every year? Yeah, me neither, because they don't publish the real numbers. They don't take accountability, they just hide everything.
Not just that, but the most dangerous thing about marijuana comes from it being illegal. A cop catching someone with pot will do more damage to their life than the weed ever could.
XXX WARNING EXTREME DANGER XXX — Marijuana can make you feel good, but may temporarily impair your ability to safely operate heavy machinery. [illustration of a forklift plunging into the abyss, the driver looking relaxed and happy; it hits the ground and explodes]
MARIJUANA CAN MAKE YOU HIGH [bored teenagers at a party, one young man clearly enjoying himself too much sitting near the TV laughing at The Flintstones]
WARNING: MARIJUANA MIGHT NOT GIVE YOU A HANGOVER — It might feel like you're getting away with something but that just makes it TOO EASY to do it AGAIN [dude with a 420 T-shirt looking smug amidst some still-comatose alcohol drinkers]
For $5000 in advance from the DEA I'll develop any one of these premises into a professional-quality educational video.
Beware the DEA kids. They knew about all the oxy all along. They knew about all the hydro. They knew every single major shipment going to Florida, Kentucky and wherever else this whole time. They knew about the opioid epidemic and they rubber stamped every shipment and quota request for the people making the drugs.
Goddamned right, our government threw its own citizens under the bus so pharmaceutical companies could make another billion. Then imprisoned the people who got addicted.

I don't have trouble believing this could be the case, but can you link some evidence?
Your casual lawbreaking will be used against you.
"Corrective Rape" as a trope within the American prison system is probably the darkest part of this cartoon.
I would like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs
I cannot see a single reason why this would backfire.
I can think of 420
dea once again proclaiming how completely out of touch with reality they are.
idiots.
Cannabis will never be as harmful as alcohol. This really outlines their intentions and how little they actually care about harm to children.
-looking for stories about how marijuana use has negatively impacted your life
"I-I just kept eating. Just kept going. A whole family sized bag of doritos. OH THE HORROR!!"
That's not even a weed thing, that's ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible....
Which is totally cool and totally legal
Not like it's a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something
This seems perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.
Can’t wait for the epic memes promoting weed
zack morris told me theres no hope with dope right before he narced on a nice guy for responsibly doing weed in his own house and then drove drunk and lied about it to his dad though
Beautiful
what better way to promote 420 Day than to try to market 'Anti-420 Day' and tell supporters how to cancel the day and send out warnings instead
they just boosted 420 day by 500%
Streisand Effect, is the term you may be looking for. :-D

im from the future.
it did not work out like they hoped
I want to believe you but I have a feeling it's a honey pot
If you smoke enough marijuana you can hear all the complicated stuff drummer Jeff Porcaro isn't playing on the song Africa by Toto.
Students would be eligible for a $25 Amazon gift card for a personal video, $35 for a group video and $50 for a “professionally produced educational video or skit with adult sponsor supervision.”
And no content is allowed that “depicts, imitates, or promotes the possession or consumption of any THC product.”
“DO NOT IMITATE THE USE OF THC/MARIJUANA OR PARAPHERNALIA OF ANY KIND, EVEN AS A JOKE,” it emphasizes.
Anti-DEA day for people on the right side of history
Next, these people are going to start going after heavy metal and rap music again.
I'd be flooding Instagram with pro-420 Day memes, if I had an account.
Anyone have popcorn?
I cannot fathom any possible way this could go off the rails.
What a great idea!
Remember all those idiots who thought this administration was actually going to make good on their promise to legalize it?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Hey kids, remember, Ted Nugent never smoked pot.
Um. So, there’s that.
Yeah, he just literally shit his pants to dodge the draft, and then wrote a song about how much he likes banging 13 year old girls! Both Trump approved activities! He's good to go!
I thought there was an executive order today or yesterday (can't keep up with the implosion into the fourth reich) that any org that receives money from the state can't make political statements? And wtf would this be then?
It's gonna happen!
It's Gonna Happen!
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
Um, guys, it turned out to be kind of the opposite of what we expected.
