A worthwhile consideration. According to the US 2010 Drug Threat Assessment, 25.8 million people avge 12 and older reported using marijuana in 2008, and 15.2 million used prescription drugs. But only 5.3 million reported cocaine use, 850,000 meth, and 453,000 heroin.

Faces of Meth was excellent and effective. And as Tom D. Ford above suggests, alcohol can be pretty destructive--we've all seen 'faces of alcohol'. But I just don't think 'faces of marijuana' would be effective simply because the harm is not present.
