1. they had the dare program when i was in school.

2. D.A.R.E stopped me from drinking alcohol with the beer goggles but nothing else

3. I had the same experience but in 2001. 3rd or 4th grade. After learning about all these drugs in DARE. II had access to the internet and would read hours on hours of trip report on LSD and many other psychedelics. I also never understood as a child why they called it a WAR on DRUGS. My child brain thought they could only wage war on people… that shaped my life.

4. I can vouch for dare convincing me I couldn't trust them on cannabis so I may as well not trust that anything else was dangerous.

5. Legit fam. I will never forget the dare pigs in the 90s and their suitcase of drugs they'd bring in for everyone to look at. Like here this is how to tell if it's real or bunk. Like I get that it was the 90s but for fuck sake there was no drugs in this elementary school for a eternity til you brought them here. Lmfao😂😂😂😂

6. maybe the dare program was intentionally bad to encourage kids to do drugs so that cops could arrest more kids

7. In 6th grade they had the high school stoners come and tell us how cool weed was. DARE was awesome and a major influence on my habitual use.

8. 😮

9. If anything i was even more curious about it.

10. Who remembers the cracked out rabbit cartoon that they used to show in dare

11. Trooper rule my dickhead of a date officer…only thing I ever learned was how to use the paraphernalia lmao

12. I remember in grade school in the 70s they had a science fair. A kid did a big display on drugs. He had every kind you could imagine taped to poster board. One of the parents was a pharmacist and called the police. Everything was real! All the pills the weed and the coke! Turned out his dad was a cop and had some explaining to do! Lol lived through the just say no decades and it made us want to try it!

13. They also took kids to local jails to learn the booking process and show them cells etc. They literally would take the kids fingerprints lol

14. Nope dare did lots of harm. Once I figured out they lied about pot. I did not believe anything they said. It took watching people die and the crime they did because of the drugs to figure out what was ok and not. Pot and mushrooms are ok. Crack opioids meth. Are the bad shit. They should have just been honest.

15. Drugs are really expensive.

16. Never thought about it like that but yea, kids are very curious.

17. Dare taught me how to use a bong in 5th grade

18. For me it was like cigarettes too everyone always told us don’t smoke this n that and tbh it just made be want to do it more because everyone around me did!

19. i went thru that , they showed realllyyy realistic drugs

20. Back in the day. There was always someone wearing a Dare Shirt in the puff- puff- pass circle. Just say No

21. My dare officer from 5th grade actually was caught years ago taking coke and dope from the evidence room obviously didn't work for him….or me lol

22. Yeah, I never even would have known that drugs existed if not for DARE. Thanks DARE!

23. Back in 1st and second grade, a cop came into my classroom and told me that there were all these drugs out there that make you feel good when you take them. I stopped paying attention by the time he said "but it's extremely dangerous and harmful and can ruin your life," I didn't care I just learned about some shit I wanted to try.

24. I hade DARE and they told us you could huff rubber cement and we had art class right after great art clazs😅

25. I'm 32. I remember in grade school I'd see the D.A.R.E. cop. The one in my school got busted snorting blow in the boys bathroom. So yeah.

26. A mountain of drugs is impressive regardless.

27. Not for nothing….. but they did highlight all the fun parts a lil bit too well.

28. Yeas

29. Dare is an evil program it had educational videos on DIY ways to get high, i didnt know anything about getting high and from dare, they just made it seem fun which is why im incredibly against this shit program.

30. Yo these ppl are so dumb try too lie too a child 😂 I’m dyin bro I am dyin do your job better officers

31. i was high in dare class

32. D.A.R.E.- DRUGS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE

33. That and the music it’s literally been pushed to our generation

34. I thought it was really fun cuz I got to ply with the k9 after and they also gave me a thing like a ball and in the middle of the lesson they have the k9 find what students where "hiding" the thing they gave us before and the k9 of course found it idk I have fond memories of it and now I smoke weed oh how life works

35. D.A.R.E "define, assess, respond, evaluate." 1. Define – what drug do you want? 2. Assess – whos got the best shit? 3. Respond – yo can I get some? 4. Evaluate – eh the shit was mid.

36. Dare ran way past 2009

37. Fackts: Mastuerbation causes hairy palms. The "weather guy" knows what I'm talking about.
