I knew I wasn't the only person who saw the girl melting into the couch and thought to myself "Awesome."... [R]esearch suggested the ads did not work. A federally funded study released in 2006 [...] found that antidrug ads by the ONDCP during that time had no effect on the kids who'd seen them, and in some cases actually made them more interested in marijuana.
