That is one tough choice. There are a lot of completely idiotic ones out there, both on TV and in magazines.
There's the one where the two kids are high, and one picks up a gun and shoots the other kid.
Then there's the one with the black guys smoking while they're in the drive-thru, which had to be one of the racist things I've ever seen.
There's also the one where the kids are smoking pot in the bathroom, and the cop comes in and bust them, and then it says "Pot can get you busted; harmless?", which is pretty dumb it's trying to discourage pot use because it's basically stating that there wouldn't be any danger if it was legal.
There's also the ones where it shows something bad about to happen, and it says "Don't feel bad. Just (blank) you (blank) because you were getting stoned. Like the one where you see a little girl getting a pool float and getting into a pool without supervision, and it says, "Don't feel bad. Just tell your parents you weren't watching her because you were getting stoned."
Know any more worthy of the title?

This isnt the stupidest anti-marijuana ad, but its always kind of stood out to me. I mean, even though kids Its always about the kids, aint it? even though kids shooting people, running over people in cars, and letting a sibling drown are all non sequiturs, at least at some level they make sense: Golly, I dont want to shoot my friend, run somebody over in a car, or have my parents, all, p.od at me cuz my little sister drowned, so I wont use marijuana. Please understand that I think that while these are all ridiculous arguments that must have been created by people with I.Q.s that are far lower than room temperature (or the temperature in my freezer, for that matter), they may all kind of make sense if the audience is stupid, too.
However, this one with the final tagline, Smoking weed hurts more than just you, baffles the heck out of me. However stupid their logic was, how was the little boy in the commercial hurt at all?

It kind of looks like they ran out of ideas, got drunk, watched The Sixth Sense, and someone pitched the idea, OK. The little boy says, I see dead people smoking marijuana. Well, thats a great idea, Bill, but lets just say Smoking weed hurts more than just you, at the end. I mean we dont want to get sued by M. Night Shyamalan. -

They could use the one with the gun for an gun-control ad. When I saw the ad for the first time I could only wonder what a gun was doing in Dad's open desk.

I forgot all about the ad where they run the kid over leaving the drive-thru. I'm definitely gonna have to find that one on the net. That's one of the funniest commercials of all time not just funniest anti pot ads.
