How many of you did D.A.R.E

racemysunfish · 07-13-2007, 02:06 PM

I heard DARE got discontinued after it was proven to not work.... I'm 20 now and we had to do those stupid anti-drug coloring books when I was in 1st-6th grade.

The only time I see DARE stuff anymore is on 420 when the stoners squeeze into their old dare shirts

From wikipedia:

The U.S. Department of Education concluded in 2003 that the DARE program is ineffective and now prohibits its funds from being used to support it.[7] The U.S. Surgeon General's office, the National Academy of Sciences,[7] and the Government Accounting Office also concluded that the program is sometimes counterproductive in some populations, with those who graduate from DARE later having higher rates of drug use. Studies by Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum [8], and by the California Legislative Analyst's office [9] found that DARE graduates were more likely than others to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco and use illegal drugs.

Haha guess im a victim of it then

In 5th grade I did a D.A.R.E program.

What a waste of time.

BUDisMYbuddy · 07-16-2007, 11:02 AM

6th grade... the best part of that course was the display case they brought along to show you all the different types of weed and pills n shit... We hadda get locked down & searched cuz one of the kids actually ripped an X tab outta it... I actually won the essay writing contest haha and hadda read 'why i will always be drug free' in fronta my whole elementary school... i think my moms got it on video somewhere haha... now that would be somethin to show at my High School Reunion in a few years haha I guess the DARE program was really like Marijuana 101 goooo fiiiiiiigure

SublimeStylez · 07-16-2007, 11:05 AM

never did it. I was a rebel, even in elementary school.

j.mony · 07-16-2007, 11:08 AM

Ha Ha. I can't believe they stopped DARE. I Still have the shirt and stuff. That was a pretty stupid program. If anything, it taught me more about drugs and how awesome they are!

Mahavishnu · 07-16-2007, 01:22 PM

the thing that pissed me off, is when we had to do dare, we got these really gay shirts, not the traditional black with dare in red, it was like some white shirt with a happy lion on it, like oh its ok we just sit through this dumb shit and get a hip shirt..no it was gay. super gay.

PaintballAds · 07-16-2007, 01:24 PM

I did DARE and I remember my parents telling me about LSD and other drugs. They were trying to discourage me, but all I could think was "wow I that sounds like a lot of fun!!".

I was in 4-5th grade at the time.

Mercury · 07-16-2007, 01:28 PM

I spent the whole time altering pictures in my D.A.R.E. book into inappropriate images.

verklingen · 07-16-2007, 01:31 PM

^ Same here, and the trend continued well into my scholastic career.

edit- foreign language text books were the best.

Waves · 07-16-2007, 01:37 PM

i remember dare. they burned some shit in a pan and told us that it was what marijuana smelled like, but thinking back it didnt smell like marijuana at all. and why would they want kids to even know what marijuana smells like? what a fucked up society we live in.

verklingen · 07-16-2007, 01:40 PM

are you serious waves? Probably so if the kiddies' mom and dad are sparking up they can recognize the bad smell and turn them in.

In fact, that MUST be it.

Mercury · 07-16-2007, 01:49 PM

They're trying to train us to be drug dogs. This is what it smells like, now narc your parents out. 1984 anyone?

BongzInBoulder · 07-16-2007, 03:56 PM

"90 percent of the time when a teenager takes LSD they see their friends turn into demons." I was the kid in the back laughing.

**Captain Cannabis** · 07-16-2007, 08:18 PM

i did the dare program and have never touched/seen/taken drugs ever in my entire life.

thanks dare program!

j.mony · 07-16-2007, 08:20 PM

yeah, thanx to DARE i learned all i needed to know about drugs. thanks DARE!

Xil · 07-16-2007, 08:30 PM

At the time they did a very thorough job in indoctrinating me. Once i learned one thing was a lie, however, everything fell apart and i decided to learn the truth.

DalandeMD · 07-16-2007, 08:38 PM

LOL you have no idea how much of an anti drug nerd I was in elementary school... even junior high... I did DARE skits (even had my own solo lol), was treasurer of the Caring About Kids (anti-drug) club, and did skits with them too, at an anti-drug camp.

All this shit, along with health class, ever taught me was how to do drugs, and what to look for.

I was also a born-again Christian, and didn't touch any kinds or drugs or have sex until I turned 18. Call me a late bloomer...

AnimalLover420 · 07-16-2007, 08:43 PM

Aaah so my theory that D.A.R.E. entices children into using drugs by informing them of the many varieties of highs available has proven accurate. My D.A.R.E. teacher was a really butchy female police officer with a horrible camel toe, I mean her pants were crammed so high up into her coochie it was painful to look at. She basically gave us a sex lesson along with our drug lesson- "Oh, so THAT'S what a hardened, beat up poon tang looks like when forcibly separated by polyester. Nice to know."

DalandeMD · 07-16-2007, 08:47 PM

ROFL

I had a gym teacher like that.... but didn't we all, ladies?

**AlteredStateGrl** · 07-16-2007, 08:58 PM

Sort of....this one teacher was horribly terrible looking.......and one day, some guys asked her very loudly in front of the whole class if she had hairy nipples.

They also put staples in her coffee and stuff. Little assholes.
