Some of you may remember the dramatic drug PSA from the 1980s that attempted to explain the dangerous affects of drugs by frying an egg in a frying pan. In 1997, a follow up was made with a young Rachel Leigh Cook that specifically targeted heroin use. In it, Rachel smashes a raw egg with a frying pan, after which she goes on to destroy her kitchen to show that heroin’s effects extend past an individual’s health. It left a lasting impression:
In an interesting move on the part of The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) in honor of 4/20, they hired Rachel to reprise her frying-pan wielding skills to discuss drugs once again. However, this time, the message deals with the disparity in US drug policy when it comes to drug arrests based on race.
Since this was released in connection with 4/20, I assume that the generic term “drug” in the video mostly means marijuana. To put it succinctly, today?s numbers support this information. People of color are still more likely to be arrested and incarcerated for drug offenses than whites. According to the DPA website, they are ?promoting drug policies that are grounded inscience, compassion, health and human rights.? If I am reading their mission correctly, their objective is to leave recreational users of all races alone and focus on arresting those who commit crimes against others – again, all races. With this being that case, it makes this ad an interesting choice because the 1997 PSA drove home the point of the damage done by heroin, they never say “drugs” in it, just heroin. If the DPA?s 2017 ad is referring to pot, can we really compare the effects of pot to to heroin? I don?t have an issue with the DPA?s message in the ad of exposing and amending an unfair policy. With marijuana being legalized in so many states, I’m fine backing the idea that we should stop arresting people for possession if it?s for personal consumption. But I feel they missed the mark. As it pertains to heroin effects, the 1997 ad is still relevant.
For anyone unfamiliar with what 4/20 is, it’s long been said that 4/20 comes from the police code for juvenile drug offenses. However, this is not so. The original title is actually 4:20 (technically 4:20 Louis) as it indicated the time that a group of high schoolers would meet to try to find a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. The name stuck and has since evolved into 4/20 to be celebrated on that date. How do I know this? I went to the high school at which 4:20 originated. And even those of us who were uptight goody-goodies, once a year we all show our school spirit by announcing to anyone who will listen that we went to that school. It is the most desperate attempt at cool cred points most of us make. Go Waldos!
