Media Points Out Exaggerated Statistics in Drug Czar's Spring Break Warning

Yesterday, we reported on a warning issued by the ONDCP Drug Czar regarding high schoolers, drug usage and spring break. Well, it turns out that statistics used to inspire compliance with the warning are faulty. The ONDCP faced similar criticism in its drugs and terrorism advertising campaign, where the office warned that drug users were supporting terrorism through their habit. As of yet, the office has failed to produce statistics that support such a claim.

One gets the impression that the drug czar and his staff need to create a problem in order to justify their salaries.
