Marijuana no longer the demon drug?

From an article at CBSNEWS entitled, 'Pot No Longer Focus of Anti-Drug Campaigns'.

Over the last several years, without many people realizing it, the U.S. government has changed the focus of its anti-drug efforts, deemphasizing marijuana in favor of prescription drugs.
A CBS News survey of government and nonprofit anti-drug groups has found a retreat from anti-marijuana campaigns over the past several years as prescription and over the counter drug abuse has grown amongst teens.

Isn't above the influence that series of commercials which feature teens talking about the losers they won't become?
I love comparing those to a new beer commercial. This guy wakes up after a "wild night" with his old college roommate (a girl) and those are the words he uses to his boss on the phone... he goes "here's what I'm thinkin'... I take today off to "rest up" and then I (do) it on Thursday... and Friday I rock the proposal." In this beer commercial the guy acts like a loser the whole time and doesn't get fired. His boss just gets annoyed and he gets his way, acting like a princess the whole time and actually sneers when he says "well, see you tomorrow then."
If this guy is the average american joe going to work everyday, the kids from above the influence are future Nobel Laureates or something (not that it's that hard anygore *cough*...)
