Do the posters go far enough?
Surely the posters and videos do not go far enough.
In the UK, we are used to seeing images, such as fat seeping out of cigarrettes, in posters. Another one showed a fish hook caught in the mouth of a smoker. And these were just for cigarrettes.
These messagers are far too tame. To stop Drugs, we need to do more and be harder with our messages.

Funny, ha ha ha! Is this a serious post?
targeted?
The very first thing, that needs to be targeted, in the schools, is stop using propaganda. And, start telling the truth, to the kids. The lies cause kids not to listen. It, actually, increases their tendency to use all forms of drugs, even the dangerous ones! The first poster is, especially, good because Holland has half the cannabis use, in kids, and adults, compared to the US!
There's a difference between education and propaganda.....
Propaganda's only purpose is to support bigotry, which is what we have with the "guns and handcuffs" approach to marijuana users.
