“The District of Columbia’s Department of Health seems to have a taken a page directly from Reefer Madness for its new advertising campaign, suggesting a synthetic form of marijuana known as ‘K2′ or ‘Spice’ will turn people who use it into ‘zombies.’ The ads recently made their debut on the DC Metro, and are wacky enough to look like a parody. Teenagers – presumably under the influence and grotesquely made up to look like ‘Walking Dead’ extras – pose in various stages of decay with captions like ‘No One Wants to Take a Zombie to the Prom.’ Seriously?”
