Kilogramme creates ads for Ketamine, Cannabis, Cocaine and more OCt 14 2010 - how do
A dream brief for the team at Manchester-based animation house Kilogramme, but let’s just hope they didn’t have to do too much research...
The Northern Quarter outfit was charged by Oxfordshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) with crafting a hard-hitting, yet accessible, drugs awareness campaign.
So as not to adopt an overly didactic tone, DAAT asked the team to point out the pros of using specific drugs, as well as the cons.
Kilogramme’s response to the thorny issue centred on porcupine characters with a taste for illegal substances, as you’ll see below.
Ketamine
Mephedrone
Cannabis
Cocaethylene
The agency’s Jon Turner told How-Do that the team had “tried to be as even handed as possible” with drugs like Mephedrone, but when it came to substances like Ketamine and its side-effects “it was like shooting fish in a barrel.”
The animations have been such a hit with DAAT that the body is now using the porcupine characters on merchandise such as t-shirts, postcards, lollipops and condoms.
Kilogramme’s films have been seeded out on YouTube and are being promoted in schools.
Turner said that the clips have provoked reaction from numerous fields, including the Oxford debating society, while the comments on YouTube have been flooding in thick and fast.
He added that the Ketamine film was currently receiving “about 800 hits a day”, noting that it “isn't Susan Boyle, but still feels nice!”

Those make all those drugs seem awesome. Way to go guys, advertise those drugs! That guy was soooo stoned. Man, I would like to be half as high as that guy was. And apparently Cocaethylene is some badass hot chick that beats the shit out of people, sounds pretty cool man.

The best part is, they really think these ads are going to work

They aren't meant to do anything but inform people of the positives and negatives... I don't see how they couldn't work when their goal was simply to raise awareness.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, they are just straight up one-sided propaganda.

Cocaethylene was a good one that they should show to everyone.
They were a bit harsh on cannabis with the "It will make you a nobody" stereotype but at least they tried to keep to the facts. (meaning they didn't say "It gives cancer and will fry your brain!!!)

I've always hated this stereotype. Yes, I know a couple of pot smoking losers, but the were worthless before they found weed. Pot smokers do not become losers; losers become pot smokers.

Don't hate me. I liked them all. The porcupines are cute...
I especially liked the Ketamine one.... 'now with bladder spasms'
I like drugs and all.... but I'm not about to start wearing a diaper again...

Did not like these.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."

Cocaethylene: yes.
Cannabis: "Weed transforms you into an unproductive, uneducated, unemployed slob." Way to be toooooool 
Ketamine: I control my bladder just fine K or no K, thanks... K isn't really too cool/doesn't fit well socially. Better for serious K-holing solo or outside social settings.
Meph: The untested bit +serious/worrying and biazarre side effects is all too true.
-------------------- "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later"

I believe those meph side effects only rear their heads after large/prolonged dosing.
My heart would beat like crazy for hours after I came down alright though.
People wouldn't to trouble if they took one dose and no more. You'd come down and be able to sleep and everything.

These are all true...for porcupines.
Ketamine= Amazing, never had any problems with it. If you're with people or at a concert don't do a huge line, just do key bumps and everything with be fantastic
Meth-don't care for it
Cannabis= Weed doesn't make you lazy, you make yourself lazy. Accept responsibility, don't blame a fucking plant for your actions.
Cocaethylene= Common sense...don't mix alcohol with cocaine.
Alcohol= why isn't there a video for this?
