My high school's anti-drunk driving thing was some local EMTs talking about past crashes for drunk kids they'd been to. Tone was a mixture of pleading and being resigned that there was decent odds they'd be collecting bodies for at least one of the kids they'd talked to in the next couple of years.

That seems somewhat reasonable. We had some EMTs come in with bike helmets which were really destroyed and told us that all of those bike riders are fine, which reinforced my helmet-wearing. Weird how people in their fields who aren’t cops are fairly effective at their jobs.

I don't think we ever got the overturned DUI car. For whatever reason, they never talked us about road safety, though it was an extremely rural county that usually had at least one fatal teen accident per year. 750 kids in the school, so by the time you graduated you usually knew 1-2 kids who had died. We did have the DARE bit in 5th grade. As part of that, I remember one of the DARE people trying to warn us about sex, claiming to have known of a 21-year-old grandmother. Proper sex ed was taught over a single week in 7th grade, with girls and boys split. I remember very little from it and it possibly covered no more than human anatomy. The basis of the lessons were a chapter from our science book, one we were discouraged from reading at any other time of the year. My school was backwards, but not quite as backwards as a few. We still have segregation academies in these parts.

We had a student’s father the cop come in and talk to us about drugs and gangs in elementary school (like 4th grade). All I remember was he brought a poster board like a science fair with samples of different drugs from busts stapled on and he carried a ridiculously oversized silver handgun (I didn’t know pistols then but it was ‘like a magnum’). And he looked like Officer Winslow. He kept saying poo poo like ‘I don’t want to talk about my gun’ and then talk about it with obvious pride.

I went to a school run by the British Ministry of Defense (like the schools that the DOD runs in places like Guam were there's a big military presence). Because there was no local school district apart from us we got the drugs, sex and alcohol filmstrips they gave to the squaddies, which were not subtle. One kid fainted during the drugs one.

Our anti-drug education was a giraffe puppet in a dimly-lit caravan. I think it was pretty reasonable from what I recall, I distinctly remember the giraffe's co-host telling us that the most abused and harmful drugs at a societal level were all legal.

Well yeah, but it's more like "drugs that are legal and socially acceptable have a lot more scope to do damage on a societal level." If it were normal to nip down to the heroin pub or put meth dispensers in every office, our problems would be different.

Alcohol is highly addictive, hell on the body, causes aggressive and risk-taking bevaviour, and can kill both by overdose and withdrawal. If I was ranking recreational drugs by societal-harmfulness it'd be pretty high up even on just a theoretical basis, leaving aside availability and cultural factors.

We had this thing where a shipping container had been done up as a shithole apartment on the inside, with an actress playing a junkie, talking and ranting about the poo poo she had to do to get enough money for a fix. I have to give her props for staying in character, with all the stupid dumbass kid questions we asked her.

If heroin were completely socially acceptable on a level with alcohol -- "it's my kid's 21st birthday, I'm going to buy him a bunch of heroin for a big party with his friends! Hope he doesn't OD lol, but I know I did when I was his age!" -- I think that would cause problems.

That world is what the initial argument was about, so, it is agreed that the most of alcohol's scale of problems is due to its relative ease of access and social acceptability, and not that alcohol is in itself a much more dangerous drug. E: A less extreme hypothetical is what if opioids and alcohol were swapped, eg you can go to the corner store and get party packs of pain meds, but alcohol required a not overly difficult to get prescription, opioids would swap places on the scale of societal harm with alcohol.

They're just not really comparable in any way due to the actual effects of the drug, alcohol is definitely awful but there are actual physiological-effect differences between them that change the way that they're used. Either way, I'm sorry I came off so harsh, I misread the intent of the post as attacking addicts in a right-winger way and reacted to that.

My only anti-drug thing my school had was a dude who was a semi-famous (locally) drummer who came and talked how he used to be a junkie and how it was fun at first but it lead to him loving up his life and body a bunch. It was alright. Then he showed some spooky movie about kids dying after one E and then when he was taking questions afterwards me and my friend were like "Hey didn't you used to drum for Bodies?" and he was really surprised some random teenagers were familiar with one obscure punk band he was in that released one EP in 1982 and none of the big pop acts.

I grew up during the AIDS panic and that certainly was a time, lots of videos about how the nice girl decides to just go once without a condom and of course she ends up dying from it in the end. I remember having general drug and sex education but barely remember anything about them. I think one of the points of the sex ed was that sex is supposed to be some strong romantic and emotional process and that if you just sleep around casually, you will become depressed because the expected emotional attachment won't be there, which will turn you into a sex-crazed person trying to sleep with people until you do find that attachment, which will never come in that scenario and eventually you'll just become a hollow person, never understanding he joys of a stable relationship and emotional connections!
