This is your brain(hot skillet), this is your brain on drugs(cracks egg into hot skillet, frying egg). I remember it well, also remember the one that said "nobody ever says, I want to be a junkie when I grow up".

There was a companion commercial of a man saying he does drugs so, "I can work more hours, so I can make more money, so I can do more drugs." He then began walking around in a circle repeating "so I can work more hours, so I can make more money, so I can do more drugs," walking and talking faster with each repetition until he finally disappeared. I was pretty young at the time, but those commercials were quite memorable.

Rai, those were targeted at the massive amount of cocaine abuse in the 80s also, unfortunately those ads never really work

I was a tween and teen in that decade, and even though I never got deep into drugs, I was no goodie 2 shoes either, those ads, don't really work, just like, "just say no" in the 90s

I agree with that commercial ad,against drugs.Those type of ads need to come back. Now since a lot of crimes are committed because of drug abuse.
