This is Your Brain on Drugs and Other Hilariously Bad Anti-Drug PSAs

We at VICE Impact hashed out some of the most insane anti-drug PSAs of our time.

In light of Attorney General Jeff Sessions renewed interested in the revamping the war on drugs, which is largely seen as having done more harm to communities than good, we at VICE Impact are reflecting on some do's and don'ts of criminal justice reform. We've put together a list of anti-drug PSA's from our youth that made us laugh more than wanting to remain sober.

4. Deflate-gate

"Calling yourself or your friend "all lazy and boring" just so perfectly encapsulates my self-deprecating sense of humor. In fact, some of my favorite moments in life are when I get to be lazy and boring. The flattened girl is not so much depressing to look at as she is fascinating—like that mild thrill you get when you see a parade balloon accidentally start to deflate,"

3. Lots of Unanswered Questions

"Not sure about leaving the audience with an anti-drug sentiment but really makes me want some eggs."

--Director of Advocacy, Nick Chedli Carter

2.The New Slavery

"So over the top and hijacks a very painful part of American history. It takes away attention of the current chains that are regressive, racist drug laws targeting people of color."

--Nick Chedli Carter

2. Stoner Sloths

"Stoner sloths are worse on weed! I found this video really funny because of course everyone makes noises like this when they are high."

--Editorial intern, Ana Wu

1. Alien Abduction

In this Above the Influence PSA, a cartoon couple out on a date gets into a fight because the girlfriend is turned off by her boyfriend smoking weed. They get interrupted by an alien who turns down the boyfriend's kind bud and steals the girl away for an interstellar date. If anything the people who came up with this video were high when they made it.
