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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outsmart-nicotine)," "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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-of-weed) 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!
