C'mon now, that is grossly misleading.
Most people are so ill-informed that they are not aware that alcohol is ALSO a drug. And in fact, it is the true gateway drug.
If you ask an addict what was the first drug they ever tried, they would say Marijuana.
BUT, if you ask them when they took their first alcoholic drink it will almost always preceed their first joint.
The misinformation campaign is what disqualifies the ads. If we are afraid to touch teen alcoholism and jump right to the Mary Jane-bashing, we only ask addicts to by-pass it on their way to other drugs.
