      That program was started at around the same time that the US government flooded the country with Crack Cocaine to fund their illegal wars in Central America

      If any one is wondering .... you should look up the story of Gary Webb

      EDIT: .... and if anyone is paying attention ... the story that Webb uncovered basically ruined his life because the government hounded him like a dog until he lost everything. Even then, he still kept fighting, resisting and writing about all the terrible things the government was doing.

      Then at the height of all the news about all this ... he died by suicide ... from two gunshot wounds to the head! ... and people tell me to stop believing in conspiracy theories. How the hell do you shoot yourself in the head twice to kill yourself.

      A simplified retelling of this story is in the film 'Kill the Messenger' (2014) which stars Jeremy Renner

        Ah yes drugs are bad. Weed kills you, etc.

        You find out weed doesn't do any of the shit they said it did... Now absolutely everything they claimed is called into question. Why would they lie about X but not about Y?

        DARE did more to make people learn that police cannot be trusted apart from maybe their general violent tendencies.

            I mean, I would have appreciated some information about weed influencing my body and brain development before I am ~25. Then I might have waited that time or smoked less. Now I can only imagine if I might have become less of a scatterbrain. Instead I was told that all drugs are bad and they will make me addicted and push me to drug-related crimes, which did not turn out believable enough.

              Are you sure you're not a scatterbrain from undiagnosed ADHD that you've been self-medicating with the weed?

                They showed us a video like

                Acid makes you see sounds and taste colors, and isn't addictive... But don't do it!

                Before the video I absolutely had no desire to try acid, and after the video all I could think was like "what does a color taste like?!?!"

                  They taught us that drugs were evil and done by bad people. The first time I smoked pot, I realized I was lied to and wondered what other drugs were like.

                      Here's how you do drugs, but PLEASE DON'T DO DRUGS. But here's how anyway.

                      Like, if you're gonna tell me not to do something, why give me instructions on how to do said thing?

                                Psychonaut with a couple of decades experience here: Acid can be excellent fun. For many years it was my favourite intoxicant. It definitely has a dark side to it tho.

                                If you are taking acid for the first time then you should do it with good friends and ideally have either a tripsitter (a sober friend who can help if things start to get a bit overwhelming) or someone who has taken it a few times before.

                                Do it in a safe space where you feel comfortable and is available for your use for the duration of the trip.

                                Be prepared for the long haul. A typical acid trip lasts around 8 hours and once you've dropped, there's no going back.

                                Have a playlist of music that makes you happy, and have your favourite feel-good movie on hand.

                                If you are feeling anxious or depressed DO NOT DO IT. Acid does not make you feel good like ecstasy or mdma or 2cb. If you are feeling shit it will make you feel 10x worse but if you are in a good place, with good friends, then it is amazing.

                                Thank you for listening to my head talk.

                                  I did drugs before DARE. So, we knew they were full of shit. However it was the late 70s so we had legit caution about drugs that were administered with needles so avoided those... Then the cocaine era happened.

                                    They should have just warned that acid would make you lose a few days. Shrooms will do that too but also land you in a bathroom for hours backandforth... was it just so much fiber??? I never experimented soaking them in hot water for a couple hours before ingesting like dried food mushrooms.

                                      DARE should have just told me that pot would just make me really sleepy and make me eat too much... causing an 8 lb weight gain overnight. That would have been enough. They should have avoided telling me anything about speed.

                                        I definitely had/have undiagnosed something but I don't blame the drugs... those came after my lived experience being socially awkward, rocking to soothe myself and mostly daydreaming all day and forgetting homework existed. I can't imagine what my mother was thinking trying to comb out my rats nest hair in the morning. No wonder she had it cut really short.

                                          That program was started at around the same time that the US government flooded the country with Crack Cocaine to fund their illegal wars in Central America

                                          If any one is wondering .... you should look up the story of Gary Webb

                                          EDIT: .... and if anyone is paying attention ... the story that Webb uncovered basically ruined his life because the government hounded him like a dog until he lost everything. Even then, he still kept fighting, resisting and writing about all the terrible things the government was doing.

                                          Then at the height of all the news about all this ... he died by suicide ... from two gunshot wounds to the head! ... and people tell me to stop believing in conspiracy theories. How the hell do you shoot yourself in the head twice to kill yourself.

                                          A simplified retelling of this story is in the film 'Kill the Messenger' (2014) which stars Jeremy Renner
