The 'Stay in Drugs' tank by Too Ugly For L.A. turns conventional wisdom on its head.
You've heard it all before; well-meaning parents and earnest teachers love to warn us to "stay in school," "eat our vegetables," and for the love of everything holy, "don't do drugs." These quotable lines have become parental mantras and after-school PSAs that are repeated so often, they've almost become a running joke amongst the kids these days.
If you haven't ingested anything green since 2005 (unless the joint you rolled this morning counts) and can't remember how to do simple subtraction, let alone your own taxes, then this rebellious pseudo-advice might appeal to you. The shirt reads: "Stay In Drugs, Eat Your School, Don't Do Vegetables." Sounds logical to me!
