Wiebe for a Drug-Free America

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Gordon Wiebe illustrated for the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign. Each of the three posters feature a true or false statement, revealing certain facts about marijuana use. The campaign’s goal is to help teens stay “above the influence” by making them aware of the influences around them and preparing them to stand up to the pressures that might motivate them to use drugs. The other ads will be released later this year.
