D.A.R.E. actually worked.....for awhile * 4
    #26664110 - 05/11/20 09:12 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everyone,

New to the forum here but been lurking for a substantial time.

Here is my quick opener:

I spent my entire life living in fear. D.A.R.E. actually had an impact on me in 6th grade. I maybe drank 3 times in High School and then waited until I was 21 to drink any further. Outside of drinking, I didn't touch a single substance until I was 34! Nothing. Nada.

It wasn't until a blissful walk through the forest that my ex came up with the beautiful Idea of growing some magic. Because of all your advice here, my life was changed for the better; forever. For the first time in my life, I was able to let go and what a powerful experience it has been.

Thanks for this great community and I'm happy to be here.

It was the same for me! I fell for this dumb-ass campaign called above the influence, they had these stupid videos of kids putting leeches on themselves, calling it leeching and saying it was so cool.

Until I did some actual research. I wanted to know why people got high if it was so terrible for you! Lo and behold, cannabis won't kill your brain cells and isn't a gateway drug. I was a giant mushroom head/hippy for a while after that. Maybe it was counter productive, because I don't really trust authority anymore.

Kinda wish they would have been honest. But if school can't  be honest about sex, it'll be less so for drugs.

This is why I absolutely believe that weed is a gateway drug (at least in America) because of the DARE program.  They beat it into your head that it's so bad for you and dangerous then you atually smoke it and realize that was a lie, it makes you wonder what else they lied about and you wanna experiment.  At least that was my experience.

Exact same experience here.

My new meaning of D.A.R.E has become:

D: Drugs
A: Are
R: Really
E: Exciting

I've always said this.  Parents, teachers, cops, etc. waste their valuable credibility on the subject of drugs by exaggerating the dangers.

Children are not able to engage in an honest conversation about drugs so we cut it down to three words. Drugs are bad. Which is a half-truth and works for the time being but there is no follow up explaining the rest of the story as they grow up. It's the parents and communities fault no matter how you slice it.


--------------------

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Thats an amazing story! Thank u for sharing.

D.A.R.E. actually worked on me too. I used to be very anti-drug, i thought people who did it were stupid. Then i tried marijuana and my eyes were Open. I saw the Truth of the magical substance, which then lead me to magic mushrooms, a special substance all its own :mushroom2:

I truly believe that D.A.R.E. may have helped some people not try drugz so soon in their life. And im Ok eith that.

I do recall being vaguely concerned about ecstasy 'burning holes into my brain' as a teenager.

There is some evidence that excessive-frequent XTC use can cause bain Damaege.

The funny thing about DARE was they talked all about the dangers of weed, but I don't remember them even once talking about opiates and opiate addiction (which has killed more members here than anything else by far).

I think DARE in the long run probably pushed most people here towards using drugs. Threads about it have been made before and that's the thing people tend to say. It's especially counterproductive once you realize that they're exaggerating, lying, or just straight up don't know what they're talking about.

I get it, it's hard because you have to tell kids something, but you feel like you can't tell them the truth because they're kids. And then especially with the generations that went through it, often times the people talking about drugs really didn't know much themselves (even today, a lot of people don't know a lot). But saying shit like "this is your brain on drugs" is definitely counter productive in the long run.

If they had been more realistic and honest and less propaganda like, then maybe, but instead it was all propaganda. It was refer madness 2.0. I don't think they could do a better job today either because the same problems exist today. People just don't know a lot about drugs, so they tend to say crazy bullshit (especially to kids). Plus they started so young that a lot of kids didn't even know what drugs were before DARE. I remember one guy who said that DARE just made him really excited to try drugs, and DARE introduced him to everything.

Beyond that, I think trying to prevent someone from trying drugs in the first place is often misguided. It's better to focus on keeping people away from addiction, and on what to do after someone has tried something. And at that point lying about the drug and its effects is insanely counter productive.

Great. Its a total catch 22. Damned if u do, damned if u dont. But in the overall sense, it was propaganda and didnt do a lot to help the situation. People did drugs anyway and stopped trusting the cops even more since the message was so wrong.

Sure. We don't even have get into the fact that if you're out there taking random pressies from people you don't know that you're not testing or anything like that, well chances are at one point or another some sketchy rc or meth or something is gonna get passed your way.


But I remember I used the term 'swiss cheese' :lol:. And ironically, after realizing how silly that was/after being corrupted, it led to more reckless behavior like accepting random sketchy pills from people under the pretense of xtc. Thank god for harm reduction initiatives like dance safe, erowid, and shroomery.

Absolutely, that only intestifies the risk with XTC cause of being sold the wrong stuff and impurities.

Harm reduction FTW.
