#1 From the article: "The Argus Leader reports a Minneapolis marketing agency created the campaign. South Dakota´s Department of Social Services paid the agency nearly $449,000 this fall, according to the state´s finances website."

I wonder how much meth both the adverting agency and the SDDSS were on when this campaign was thought up and implemented?

#2 They just take a different tack to get attention and it has. No one was addressing the issue, so they decided to force the issue to the front. Just like they can't figure Trump out they can't figure why SD decided to do this. See - laser and cat

See their other ad campaign - Why die on Mars when you can live in South Dakota.

#3 "The lawn needs mowing."
"I'm on it!"
It's a common expression. I suspect the disconnect here is the SD folks don't know any actual druggies and have no idea another meaning of "on" might exist.

That's the problem with most government-run drug interdiction or rehab programs
