Surgeon General, National Drug Control Policy to begin new media campaignThe U.S. Surgeon General is teaming up with the National Drug Control Policy
to kick off a new media campaign to warn students of the dangers of
marijuana.
The initiative is underway today across the country, aimed at dispeling
myths generated about smoking pot, which they said has become so predominant
that "twice as many eighth-graders have tried marijuana today than a decade
ago."
The campaign kicks off with an advertisement to parents about marijuana in
more than 300 papers.
The campaign will continue with print and television ads appearing through
the fall.
Recent studies have shown that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol, and
smoking it does not lead to use of harder drugs.
