obviousplant:

Released in 1982, the Just Say NoBots were a failed marketing effort intended to reduce drug use among children. Backed by the U.S. government, the cartoon series and companion toy line actually INCREASED drug use among viewers. This was largely due to poor character/plot development and a desire for viewers to “forget everything I just saw.”

In 1983, the toy line was scrapped and relaunched as The Gobots.

Only 15 in known existence. Buy one here.

Latinx-Americans can join, too - we’ll make it a class action suit. It’ll be the first step (of many) toward ending this bullshit “war” on drugs that has done more harm than good.
