Hard drug use isn't a lark, it's killing our culture. Hollywood and the media pay lip service to solving social ills, then turn around and trivialize or glamorize drug use.

I haven't seen Hollywood glamorize drug usage, except weed which is only a threat to our culture when people are cranky because they don't have any.

In Hollywood, when people do hard drugs, they get ƒucked up, do stupid sh!t, and end up dead or in jail. The same exact thing that happens in drug PSAs.
So I guess the real question is: why are our tax dollars being used to glamorize drug use?

I guess I missed something. How are tax dollars being spent on the glamorization of drug use?

How is Hollywood glamorizing drug use? In Hollywood, and in PSAs, the subject is treated the same. Bad things happen when you use hard drugs. The movies are probably even worse.

No, the question is, "How are our tax dollars being used to glamorize drug use?"

Well according to their tax statements Federal money is a tiny fraction of their income.
http://www.drugfree.org/Portal/About/Financials/ So I take it that you think they are an ineffective organization?
