Queens Students' Anti-Drug Efforts Are Just SADD

That stands for Students Against Destructive Decisions, just so you know. They're a student group at Long Island City's Academy of American Studies, and they've devised a 'hip' way to get their anti-marijuana message across:

Kids were like, 'what is this?'" Corcoran recalled on the day she and her fellow SADD members handed out dime bags—printed with skull and crossbones on the back—to nearly every student. Inside each bag was a single Lifesaver candy and a fact about marijuana along the lines of: Marijuana compromises the ability to learn and remember information.
"I think it was an awesome concept," senior Mark McCormack wrote in an e mail about the campaign. "It was edgy. We need to do more edgy things, because it will never go unnoticed," he added.

It's a start, we suppose, but you know what would be really 'edgy'? If the Lifesavers were dipped in acid.
