90s Anti-Drug Ad Gets A Redo - Your Brain On Drug Policy

Back in the '90s, actress Rachael Leigh Cook tried to dissuade kids from trying heroin by smashing an egg representing "your brain" with a frying pan. Now she's back with a more evidence-based message. Same frying pan, though. -digg

Never saw the original, thanks eric3579 for the link. It's good that she did the redo for a different purpose. But please don't negate the original message though. Heroin is still bad.

Heroin is not the problem.

It's a good thing I'm white, because I did get caught illegally growing "drugs" at 18, was offered "drug diversion" which was 4 hours watching film strips about drugs and 6 months of lax probation, then my record was expunged with no felony....not even a fine, just $200 for the program fees.

I seriously doubt I would have gotten the same treatment if I wasn't a white college student at the time.

Because of that special treatment, I managed to keep my charge a secret from even my mother until this Xmas when I finally told her.... 30 years after the fact. I know others who went to prison for longer than my probation over a joint....in another state.
