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 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.

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.
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.

Are you sure you're not a scatterbrain from undiagnosed ADHD that you've been self-medicating with the weed?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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
I just want to know.. Where The F... is the CIA when we really need them to protect the country? How is Tupperware Face still walking?

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.
I remember learning about acid. If you do acid, you will freak out and stab a pencil through your eye.

The chitin that makes up shrooms causes stomach upset because your body can't do anything with it. Making tea and discarding the solids may provide a smoother experience.
I'm sure there are other more thorough forms of extraction, but this is the basic way I know of.

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?
I had no idea how to free base or make a pipe out of a lightbulb until I saw that DARE video.

Gatewayed by the marijuanas. We were warned about this, smdh
I'm amused by the one dissenter who downvoted both of us. Hey dissenter: a ton of people agreed with our takes and only you disagreed. This isn't a forum for you. Go find a place where people share your views.

Don’t go get free ebooks on safe platforms like libgen or annas-archive !!

til chitin isn't just a bug thing, and i am disturbed. somehow eating mushrooms is now akin to eating bugs at this moment.

- Drugs
- Are
- Really
- Excellent
I found one that says "Dispensaries Are Really Expensive"
I also live in a waspy town and several people have noticed the DARE letters, struck up a conversation about how great the program was and we should bring it back,etc. Then they actually read it and get all huffy. Best $24.99 I ever spent.

In Canada back in the day cops would come into the classroom. They had big boards with all the drugs attached. More than a few times, they disappeared off the board.

In middle school, my health class was all about how in high school, there'd be all these crazy sex and drug fueled parties and one day I turned to my friend and said "I cannot wait for high school".

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.
There was definitely a point in my life that I saw weed users the same as heroin, etc.
I’ve never used either, but thankfully my views have changed anyway. It does show how much harm it causes when your informative spiels get one thing wrong.

I remember a constable coming to class with one of these and commenting that I had excellent veins should I ever do IV drugs. They 100% set us up to fail.

One of my sociology professors was involved in a project to assess the effectiveness of DARE. She found that it was slightly effective with one group -- 8th grade boys.
Of course, her findings didn't fit the 80s narrative, so her study was shelved and the LAPD was happy.

My dad would change the wording of Dare Tshirts with tipp-ex so that "dare to say no to drugs" would instead say "dare to say hi to roger" (in swedish)
