Not sure about commercials. But when I was growing up my parents were incredibly anti-drug. My bedtime stories would be about a kid who took drugs and went nuts, and the good kids had to call the police and have him sent off to jail.

I found out just about last year, that my dad has smoked pot, and implied he did heroine (dunno why I haven't asked him yet). But I think this was a good idea, as I am ok with pot, but have never gotten really invovled with that or other more serious drugs, and a lot of my friends did get involved pretty badly (not go to jail or ruin life, but enough to have a pretty bad effect on them overall).

Basically I think the friends and other influences counter balance the extremeness of parents and the government so it works out nicely.
