Now I think I've seen one of the ads in question. It had different
teenage-looking kids switching in and out, each one saying a line, then
switching:
-"I helped kill a father"
-"It was just a bit of fun"
-"I let a terrorist get a passport"
-"I was just having some fun"
..etc..
-"I helped a killer buy a gun"
-"I wasn't hurting anyone else"
So, no, nothing about legalization. The correct point to make being
something like: 'Buying illegal drugs helps terrorism', which is NOT the
same as 'Buying drugs helps terrorism'. Unfortunately, it's the latter which
is implied in the advertising campaign, I'd say.
