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
im from the future.
it did not work out like they hoped
I believe you.
Where are the DOGE bros for this government waste?
If you smoke enough marijuana you can hear all the complicated stuff drummer Jeff Porcaro isn’t playing on the song Africa by Toto.
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
Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.
Poking at the opioid crisis would be worthwhile subversion of things.
Cool, I’ll have something to giggle at while I’m stoned!
Hey Fellow Kids (Steve Buscemi)
Don’t believe that hype that weed is cool because it’s for fools!
I’m pro-legalization (because criminalization does much more harm than good) but why are you all acting like this is a bad thing? Especially considering that the campaign is specifically advocating against YOUTH consumption of marijuana? We can all agree that children and adolescents shouldn’t consume marijuana, right? Just because it shouldn’t be criminalized doesn’t change the fact that weed is a habit-forming drug that impairs memory, concentration, and reflexes. It absolutely CAN be dangerous.
Well, it’s pretty clear that this is a way for the DEA to get other people to spread propaganda for them. They know the idea is unpopular so they’re paying children to do their dirty work for them. They know there are at least a million kids on Instagram who will just do this for a free gift card regardless and they’re trying to exploit them.
Also it absolutely reeks of desperation. They’re trying to force a viral movement in the most inorganic and insincere way possible. It’s like if an unpopular teacher offered to pay her students to go around telling their friends about the benefits of doing extra homework.
And it’s worth mentioning one more time, they’re exploiting children to spread their lies.
What lies? What “dirty work?” They’re not giving the kids a script. The assignment is to either make an educational video about why young people shouldn’t use THC (do you not agree that minors shouldn’t use THC?), OR share a personal anecdote about how marijuana use has affected them or someone they know.
You say it sounds desperate, but to me it looks like a way to catch kids’ attention and get more young people thinking about this. Submit a skit, get a gift card, be engaged in the conversation. Maybe learn something new. What’s so exploitative about that?
Is it automatically “propaganda” to suggest that there’s anything unsafe about marijuana or that kids shouldn’t use it?
It’s not that this is a “bad thing”. It’s wildly ineffective, hypocritical, and a waste of resources when compared to other more pressing issues that they are doing nothing about. Thus, mockery.
What’s a youth? Under 21 in idiot land?
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!
Warning: avoiding marijuana can lead to unnecessary stress.
I cannot see a single reason why this would backfire.
I can think of 420
Hey kids, remember, Ted Nugent never smoked pot.
Um. So, there’s that.
Yeah, he just literally shit his pants to dodge the draft, and then wrote a song about how much he likes banging 13 year old girls! Both Trump approved activities! He’s good to go!
dea once again proclaiming how completely out of touch with reality they are.
idiots.
Next, these people are going to start going after heavy metal and rap music again.
Heavy Metal and Rap Music? They hurdled right over and landed on Any Amount of Dancing and Suffragettes.
