    It’s the rat park theory. When rats were given things to do-not just basic needs like food and water but games, special little treats, companionship, etc-they turned down the drugs. Sometimes they tried them, but the other stuff was more rewarding than the drugs.
    The rats alone in a bare cage with nothing but the bare necessities to keep them living did the drugs.
    So actually giving the kids more pizza to keep them off drugs isn’t far off.

    I was on ADHD meds throughout most of my childhood during the 90s so when I started to hear things like "don't do drugs" I would get confused because I actually did drugs and they helped me function.
    When I brought this up they would always say things like "well you can only take them if a doctor says it's okay". Then I would ask what was the difference between good drugs and bad drugs. I never seemed to get a straight answer other than "they're illegal and you'll get in trouble if you do them". Then I'd do the classic "rabbit hole of why" and they'd find an excuse to move on

    The only thing that my local DARE program contributed to my community was inspiring the guidance councillor in my school to attempt to invent a similar program about suicide prevention and teaching kids about mental health, developmental disabilities, etc. It was REALLY good, and despite a few flaws it was very well thought out, and she was able to get other schools and psychologists in the region on board. Unfortunately, though it ended up ultimately failing because she couldn’t get any funding to produce programming materials for use in other parts of the province. :(

But as you might imagine i didn't die but got insanely high instead, got attacked by a giant psychedelic rainbow number 8, and passed out on the kitchen floor for a couple hours. Only to be roused by my grandmother telling me to do that in my room instead because i was in the way of cooking dinner.

    3 years late but im still gonna tell my fav story. when I was in 5th grade my teacher decided to integrate our dare program with us learning how to do a 5 paragraph essay so we had to do an essay about why dare was good. I say miss teacher this is an argumentative essay right. she said yes. so i wrote a whole essay about how dare was bad and a waste of time when some people needed more time to focus on reading and math. when i handed it in my teacher was very politely trying not to laugh. she eventually turned to me and said thats a very good essay but im sorry we had a format we had to follow. i very sadly returned to my desk to rewrite propaganda for the cops

    I remember going thru the DARE program in 6th grade. we had to sign a paper at the end promising we would never use drugs or alcohol. I wrote "I cannot promise I will never try drugs or alcohol in the future, but I learned some things from your classes." Sure enough age 17 comes around and I'm smoking pot, drinking beer, and doing mushrooms lol. However I can say the program definitely made me think about the consequences of drug abuse more and I never went overboard. So it wasn't a complete failure. We had guest speakers come in and talk about how they ruined their lives due to drug abuse. I don't know if DARE had such speakers nation wide, but it was certainly what impacted me the most.

      Very true! Also, bring in sponsors and therapists for ex-junkies that can further explain why people become addicts, the actual sciences around addiction (with anything, not exclusively just drugs/alcohol), what kids can do if they recognize they're becoming harmfully addicted to something, etc.
      However, that would also mean adults addressing things like systemic societal problems with things like mental health as well as a bunch of other things that encourage people to fall into addictions (including drugs), to begin with. Something extremely hard enough for adults to do with each other, since falling into addictions has always been over-generalized as part of a person's personal failings, and addressing things based off of it being systemic can often be seen as controversial for some people.

    What’s funny is I actually learned more about drugs and why not to do them while I was a stripper than I ever did in school. If anything, the dare program confuse the crap out of me because I didn’t realize that certain drugs like alcohol and marijuana will not kill you if you have one hit. It actually gave me a very severe complex I didn’t drink or smoke, or do anything until I was over the age of 19. I’m actually habitual marijuana user now and I have a medical card because I use it for chronic pain and inflammation.
    It’s crazy, though I learn more about drugs when I was a dancer for sure. You would see girls who would get their entire lives thrown away in a few months to heroin or crack. They would literally do anything for these drugs, and it was so depressing and was a bigger Way for me to never want to do any of them.
    It was more effective than anything there could’ve ever showed me. I watch the reality is what happens when someone gets very very very addicted to heart substances and it’s absolutely terrifying.
    I’ll also add that these people were good people that were going through rough things in their lives and just made a wrong choice but it’s still to this day taking over a lot of their lives. The way there went about it was insulting and fear mongering if anything. I gave them no credit for the fact that I’m not a crackhead or a dope addict. I give that 100% to dancing. Because I have a very addictive personality, and I knew that if I ever got near those drugs, it would be over, but I knew that because I saw it happen to other people.
    If you really don’t want your kids to do drugs, you just need to be honest about the horrors of them. And you need to tell them the reason why people get to that point in their lives, and that there are different options for help instead of drugs. If we had a program like that, you probably actually would have a lot less drug addicts. It’s interesting though I have heard that Dare Failed miserably, and it’s really sad. Honestly because I have a lot of friends who have a lot of addictions to this day.
    I pray to God, her education systems got a little bit better at educating her to learn about things that they actually are going to need to know throughout life. Honestly, if it’s not, I’m homeschooling my daughter I could care less at this point I’m not letting her fall into the trap of being incredibly naïve and just thrown into the world like I was as a child.

Another memory is of my father ranting about how he had to go down to the school office and demand to know why I, at age 9, was coming home from school with a better understanding of the effects of different kinds of recreational drugs than on my times tables. That story resurfaces every so often, and the whole family still laughs at the absurdity of it.

    It was a wildly ineffective program and we were its failed test subjects. The only thing I remember from my D.A.R.E. program was the trip to Dorney Park my class took after it was all done. I'm the daughter of two heavy pot smokers and have only smoked it twice in my life as an adult. I already knew a lot of this shit by this time from my parents rationally explaining things on their own to me so I didn't need a lot of education on drugs by the time I got to that program. Honestly the best way that I learned not to do drugs was when I was 12 years old and had learned one of my dad's friends OD'ed and died because of those fentanyl patches.

How even though drugs make you feel good then the ability to feel good starts to go away in other ways and you become addicted and sick and in horrible condition. He told us after selling drugs and doing them got him in horrible shape and almost into prison. He had gotten arrested but he went to rehab and turned his life around and now helps inform kids and make sure they don’t get into the place he did. I think it was very affective and two kids actually cried. I think they should do it a way like that in every school. They even gave out pamphlets of places to go or numbers to text or call if you or your family needs help.

    The best drug education I ever receive came from simply talking to people who did/do those drugs and asking open and honest questions about their experience. The only time it didn’t make me not want to do them was with weed, which severely helped my anxiety for many years before a finally quit. Most of the time if you ask someone with experience about the negatives they won’t be shy to share them with you- unless they are a dealer who also happens to hate you they don’t want you getting into something you’re not comfortable with and bad trip.
