Hey y'all here is the thread to discuss D.A.R.E. the antidrug program aimed at preventing children from doing illegal drugs like Marijuana (pot, maui wowwy, reefer, grass) Or cocaine (angel's dust, heroin, steroids). For some reason they didn't do Dare for my class, but my brother had it the next year, and got a free shirt. Back then that was a big deal, and since 4th graders don't really do a lot of drugs yet, it seemed like it was cool. Like you miss class, get a shirt, theres like a lion mascot or something and a cop comes in.

back in elementry school cops were still cool, and mhy brother says the cop let them look in his cop car and he showed them his shotgun from his trunk. (didn't fire it though) The cops in my town even had trading cards! (Like baseball players but cops).

Anyway since I never got to participate in D.A.R.E. can anyone tell me what I missed, and regale me with fun or enlightening D.A.R.E. stories? Alternatively I will accept any other anti-drug campaigns for children in this thread. My favorite was in health class when you learned about a new drug and got to see all the wacky street names for the drug (see above).


In present day i don't really care too much for or against drugs. I love smoking marijuana (i call it weed), and i love to partake in a cocktail or 12.

I googled "Funny DARE Kid Gif" and this is what came up:

thats really lousy, the shirt was in my opinion the best part because it was a free shirt and everyone else had one so it was a popular shirt

the best part of abstaining from the baddies (drugs/alcohol/cursing, the "unholy" trinity as father jammerz would say) and channeling ur cosmic and holy energies into buying yugioh cards is that as u and ur monsters/traps/silly little, but important, affectations age, u only garner more respect, women look atme differently than a slovenly drunkard, i am classy, tactical, thorough, and oftne underestimated, but always loved and having women sex

I was very edgy in high school and would wear Dare or Straight Edge clothes all the time because I was a known pot head. There was a small clique of actual straight edge kids who accosted me in the hallway verbally one day. They told me they were going to stab me and burn my house down, to which I replied "do it you loving pussy bitches". Nothing ever happened and now I'm pretty sure all of them are alcoholics. Idk why I was being such a tough guy I only weighed like 140lbs and could not fight them all.

Also Dare programs statistically increase drug usage by making them taboo for kids. It's like that "don't push the button" experiment. You tell someone not to do something and then that's all they want to do. I'm too lazy to find sources for this but you can google it.

"are alcoholics" is a funny way to say "suffered massive blunt trauma to the head"

When I first started teaching, we had two separate programs, DATE (Drug, alcohol, tobacco education), and "Here's Looking At You: 2000". Both of them said were "hip" and "with it", and "geared to today's youth". They were not. I was trained extensively in both. The only things I ever used were the grody posters and the "smoky sue" a device that smoked a cigarette and allowed you to collect all the crap from the smoke to show what entered the lungs.

my school never had D.A.R.E. but we did have classes where teachers told us about drugs and why they are bad, and I'm pretty sure it was their descriptions of the effects of psychedelics that first made me interested in taking them. that and sesame street, which if you go back and watch it as an adult it was clearly made by people smoking the real good poo poo

I remember that device my school had one as well. It sucks because drugs are actually lovely (well, the prohibition of drugs is what technically causes the problems but I'm not going to argue the semantic aspect of that) and it makes sense to try and do something to get kids to not do them. Unfortunately they haven't found a way to say "avoid all this poo poo that will make you happy and let you have tons of fun" without basically being a giant billboard for doing it. That smoking one only hit me because of my dads rampant smoking and coughing of phlegm loudly every morning. Ultimately I ended up smoking anyway.

True facts: They canceled DARE because the message that kids got from it was "there are drugs everywhere, you WILL be pressured to use drugs," and when kids weren't pressured they assumed it was because they weren't popular. So they went out of their way to use drugs, since that's what was supposed to happen to you.
