You may have already seen this video, released by The Drug Policy Alliance in 2007, but we liked it so much we thought we'd take it for another spin. What this video lacks in depth it makes up for in creativity... a great example of media outreach that appeals to everyone, not just political insiders.

So with that in mind, hit that email button on the bottom of the page and send to someone who might not know the awful truth behind the Drug War.

DPA also did an ad with footage of a swat team raid on a RAVE party.

Could you run that one again too, please? It shows my people getting busted for dancing. It is really terrifying actually, thanks.

Why do you think all the corporate interests lined up behind Hillary and Obama? It was actually supposed to be a Hillary-Romney matchup, as per Wall Street-controlled corporate press wishes, but popular views still persist.

Don't y'all just hate that populism? Damn peasants, think they know how to run the government - that is best left to the aristocratic elite, isn't it? Y'all shouldn't meddle in things y'all don't understand, says our press mafia... just trust us.

Right.

...as it just might make a real difference if a mainstream audience got a real dose of reality TV!

Satire seems to be the best method of inoculating the voting age population with truthyism's I see!

This is very good...!!!

But how many Americans will ever get to see it?

Of those, how many would (or could) ever do anything to change the reality that it expresses?

IF marijuana, is a stepping stone drug, it's only because you have to step right out of your own house/ yard, where you should be able to grow it, to deal with drug dealers, who deal with many drugs, and just may be out of pot, but will gladly SELL you a dose, or two of heroin!!!
