drugs suck
a catchphrase in the 80s stated by Steve Jones that says it all. He nearly died from drug abuse and he's seen others die from it too. He ain't saying it because "someone told him to". Experience is the best teacher.
In the 80s there were ads on TV featuring rock stars doing anti-drug announcements. It was called Rock Against Drugs (RAD).
Genesis stated that "drugs are a no win situation so please don't it" while their hit "Throwing It All Away" plays in the background.
Another example: Jon Bon Jovi says, "I was given this script to read to you. Drugs are not a part of this workplace. Drugs are bad 4 U ... blah blah blah. Any questions?" Yeah Jon: how much moolah did you get to "read this script to us?"
Steve Jones is tightening a hex nut on his motorcycle. Then he gets up and says, "Hi. I'm Steve Jones. I used to play guitar in a band called the Sex Pistols. A good friend of mine in that band - Sid Vicious- died from drugs. I nearly died from drugs." Then he looks directly at the video camera and says "Drugs suck". He had a song on his 1986 album "Mercy" by that name. Later on New Kids on the Block members wore that slogan on T-shirts because it so "cool" and fashionable and "hip". Soon after that there were shirts that said "New Kids Suck". That they do!
Take it from people who've been there and survived it. There's a lot of things that suck today, including drugs.
