50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

What’s your anti-drug?

Posted on 21 September, 2003 By Wil

You know, I have never been a drug user (other than alcohol, and then only in Guinness form. 😉
I don’t know why I dodged this particular bullet that seems to have hit so many of my acting peers squarely between the eyes, but I’m glad I did. I often joke that I wasn’t “cool” enough to hang out with that crowd (it sounds better when you can hear the sarcasm dripping off my words, trust me.)
Personally, I think a lot of our drug laws in America are incredibly stupid, and obviously ineffective. I think that a desire to appear “tough on crime” for “the children” is what drives the colossal failure that is the war on drugs, and I hope some courageous politicians will take some steps toward acknowledging this failure, and start treating addicts like the sick people they are, and maybe bring our drug laws here in America into step with the rest of the civilized world. As far as I can tell, prohibition just doesn’t work, but education does.
And don’t even get me started on the stupid “Just say no” campaign . . . how about we “Just say no” to idiot politicians who just want to appeal to a narrow bloc of voters without really doing anything to solve a major problem?
Sorry. This isn’t intended to be a rant at all. The whole point of this post is to link you all to one of the funniest Fark Photoshop competitions I’ve ever seen: Photoshop your own anti-drug poster.
