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.

For $5000 in advance from the DEA I’ll develop any one of these premises into a professional-quality educational video.

dea once again proclaiming how completely out of touch with reality they are.
idiots.
I cannot see a single reason why this would backfire.
I can think of 420
-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
Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.
Peaches come from a can.
Your casual lawbreaking will be used against you.
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
This seems perfectly reasonable. I’m sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.
Those bootlickers will believe anything, I bet you could convince them water was dangerous if you made them think the DEA said it.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical so dangerous, it has both an acidic and an alkaline effect. It’s completely destructive to the body. In large doses, it can kill a person in minutes. Smaller doses are claimed to be safe by the monoxide user community, but the truth is, it’s a death sentence. Everyone who uses dies.
You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.
Challenge accepted:
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.
What is ‘adult sponsor supervision’?? Lol
Here’s 5 bucks. Don’t get in trouble!
Anti-DEA day for people on the right side of history
I once got so high that I stayed home from school and masturbated all day long.
I was severely chafed the next day…but man, what a day…
What a day indeed, and now they are a knight, see? That’s a respectable job.
What was your high score?
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?
