[Vision2020] Vision2020 Digest, Vol 49, Issue 26

[donald edwards]

"You're going to see disturbing and even shocking images of what meth does to people. These public service spots don't sugar-coat it, because it's just that ugly. And Idahoans need to see and hear the truth about this drug." 

Governor
C.L. "Butch" Otter


It actually isn't "just that ugly" it's more complicated than that, Butch.  Chaney probably was right on this.  Montana had more time with the campaigns and found some issues.
 
I believe there is some debate over whether the mantra "Not Even Once" portrays an honest depiction of the majority of those who have tried this drug and is maybe just a scare propaganda tactic which has proven to fail in regards to past scare propaganda campaigns.  When people try the drug and do not immediately experience effects similar to the ads posted on the billboards and TV they will dismiss the ads and figure they're fine to use once in a while, etc.

Others may be enticed into trying it just by being barraged by the fact it exists?  ie: "Wow, I never knew people hook up easier on Meth!  I think I'll roll that dice!"
 
Definately a subject open to study and debate but the consequenses are not worth jumping into lightly.
 
The message in the art work Tom posted is right on target without lying to naturally skeptical yet curious youth.
