I grew up in the 80's and remember the "Just Say No!" campaign very well. There was a handful of years that any student (at least where I lived) couldn't go anywhere without seeing it in some form or another.

There was a piece on the news last night stating that over the years the government has spent around 33 billion dollars on the Just Say No campaign. Yet the number of kids who try drugs as teens and the average age at which they try them is almost identical today as it was in 1970.

It has been an epic fail.

Just thought it was interesting.
