Ahhh… ‘80s Anti-Drug Commercial Nostalgia 🥹❤️🎬 Rad Facts: In the 1980s there was a big effort to discourage the youth from doing drugs in the U.S., with several commercials and different campaigns. There was “Just Say No”, R.A.D. (Rock Against Drugs), This is your brain on drugs, D.A.R.E,, and the Anti-Crack. At my school they ran a hard D.A.R.E. program. Drug use did decline during this period. It’s also true that parents who do drugs, that their kids are more likely to do drugs. - Billy Rad
