OK, kids, what’s it gonna be? Would you rather go to school naked or eat a maggot-filled pie?

A group of teens ponder the question as they pass a joint around a circle. But while they may seem inspired by an altered state, these kids are passing the joint without smoking it.

“It’s OK to pass” is the message of this ad from the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Shot in Los Angeles and directed by Francis Lawrence of David Naylor & Associates in Hollywood, it focuses its anti-marijuana message at kids ages 11-13.
