I ignored anything and everything having to do with DARE. I did drugs before that, and I still do them as if DARE never came around.

I didnt pay the least amount of attention in DARE. Even as a schoolchild I could sense it was BS.

I was never exposed to DARE until I got into high school, and by the time i got there, i was already reading the likes of Timothy Leary and Terence Mckenna.

Yeah man I looked for those tattoos too And Halloween candy we were told, of course this doesn't really happen and is propaganda.
DARE did however teach me about all the different types of drugs, so I could be prepared to buy the ones that appealed to me

Temporary tattoos. Ha! That's funny. I think I remember being told something similar too.
And ya know, to this day I've still never come across a stick on lsd tattoo.
I've had gellies, paper, sugar cubes and dropper hits. Temporary tattoos? Uhhh,....
no.

Nah, I ignored that shit..i always wanted to know what it was like to be high on pot, i was scared to try lsd because of a bad story where some girl frieaked out on a hit of acid and had to go into the insane asylum. But she was borderline scitzo or something anyway. I vowed I would never try cocaine, crack, meth, herion, pcp. I think three of those are nice to use on occasion, but I would never try PCP still to this day.

I was introduced to dare in the 3rd or 4th grade and never again. I really had no idea what they were talking about at the time. I knew what beer and cigarettes were, but all the other drugs just kind of went over my head.

It definitely affected me. In sixth grade the cop told us a story about a guy who took LSD and thought that his legs had been chopped off, and that he said he could feel the pain, see the blood etc. That scared the shit out of me.

Same for me with being too young to really comprehend it. I do remember that we had some high school kids come in to teach the course to our class. (I'm not even really sure it was DARE... it involved a book with some little green monster at school and a little girl trying to give him drugs)
As I got older, I realized those kids probably were forced to do it after being caught with drugs or something haha.
I was afraid of LSD for a long time because a friend of mine said you could die from it the first time you take it. Then I discovered Erowid.

Hey I dont think i was ever educated about drugs until i was in jr. high school. I think the dare program started when i was in 8th grade or something. But I agree weed is no big deal, alcohol is much worse..just from personal experience. Alcohol has made me late for work many times, made me spend more $$$ then i intended to...etc. But yes the laws are stupid all right, just for posessing something natural you can go to jail, and pay fines.

I don't think I ever had DARE in school. We had drug education in 9th grade though and I remember reading about it made me want to try LSD and marijuana, but skip all the rest. Mushrooms were mysteriously missing from the text. I think I had a pretty good bullshit detector even back then.

I don't think I did either, like i said in the other post..it was 1985 when i was in 9th grade, i just had assemblys where ex-cokeheads, ex-herion addicts told thier true life story about thier downward spiral on hard drugs. I never heard about a bad story about someone that just smoked pot only.

around here there are no such programs. most people don't know anything about drugs and don't care. every time i hear something about them (pot makes you psychotic etc) i also hear The Dude mumbling "hey... that's just like, your opinion, man" and i chill out.

I would be more inclined on a seminar warning younger teens about the negative side effects of long term and excessively damaging substances; like tobacco,nicotine,alcohol, and yes...even THC. Not something to scare naive children, but a program to highlight the real problems with persistent use and abuse of any of these substances.
MADD I currently think does a program similar to this but not of any serious effectiveness, its more about ex-alcoholic teens and ex-meth users who have gone over the deep end. I'm referring more to your average Joe who will casually combine those 4 substances in different ratios and aspects...but on a regular bases.
I dunno...I just figure a better tactic to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle might be to show someone taking some initiative towards changing their habits and show how good it can make a person feel to take that kind of control over their life. Rather than using the familiar scare tactics, or the "well we don't do drugs so were much better than them" attitude.

slavic people aren't particularly blond and blue-eyed.
nevertheless there are no drug education programs over here. there's some but they are a joke for most kids and kids who believe acid makes your brain explode shouldn't be messing around with such substances anyway.

I'm not too familiar with all the countries in Europe..i was way off. But yes, I can't believe they lie to kids about acid/shrooms, just to keep them from using drugs. I think the U.S. laws are just stupid when it comes to drugs..education and the law.

I guess it just introduced me to the idea of drugs. Before the program came to my school in elementary school I had little idea of what drugs were. Dare didn't necessarily turn me off to the drugs, just informed me of them.

I never even thought about drugs until one night in Junior High I was at my church youth group and there was a guy there talking about how horrible LSD was. He went on and on and mentioned something about looking up at his speckled ceiling, and it began twisting into a vortex and turned into a giant mouth and it came down and engulfed him.
Ever since then, I've been facinated by drugs. Church ruined my life

I was introduced to DARE at the age of five. I was living in Utah and the DARE program there started off early and went on ALL YEAR. Mormons are NUTS about their kids not taking drugs. NUTS. We even had some anti-drug pep rally type events, where the teachers would get us all amped up and excited about not doing drugs. It was total brainwashing.
Even then, i remember thinking to myself, "I'm probably going to end up doing drugs." I got really scared whenever I would think this, because I knew it was the truth and because my little six year old mind was totally petrified that I would go off the deep end and never be the same person again. Even when I started doing drugs, especially hallucinogenic drugs, I was still totally paranoid and neurotic about what was happening to me. It took me a few acid trips to overcome the brainwashing.
DARE is a very effective program if begun early and vigorously. It doesn't keep kids from doing drugs, it introduces them to the idea. If they're appropriately brainwashed the adult will be neurotic and doubtful of their own decisions. Luckily LSD is an effective treatment for DARE-induced disorders.

I had DARE in 6th grade. I swore off drugs from then on. Later that year I 'just said no' to a kid who offered me a cigarette...i was so proud of myself when i got home 
The next year I found out that a friend of mine had smoked weed a few times. I got super interested and ended up trying it...and liking it...then proceeded to do all those other drugs they said were bad...shrooms, lsd, ecstacy, cigs, and booze within the next year

I live in Utah and I never seen that, it must be all recent.. i grew up mormon but i havent gone in years...not even interested. But yes they do push the anti-drug thing here, i think it is because there are a lot more drug users now in Utah then ever.

My family was already heavy into illicit drug production, consumption and of course the whole economics of it all.
I was taught from the time I could listen that the people in my family did NOT snitch. I knew what would happen to us if we did.
So I lived a quiet life, with few friends because everyone and there mom already knew the gist of what happened at my house every day.
And by quiet life I mean my "friends" were all buyers and frequent fliers from my grandmas more than little business she had cooking up in the garage.
Is it any wonder I feel so at home here at this website?
So, no, DARE didnt make me want to try drugs... many other reasons made me feel like I HAD to try drugs. Mainly the fact that I didnt agree with what my family did, but I still loved them... So I tried them and realized I didnt think they were wrong.. Drugs were amazing. Doorways to escape and other worlds, ways to my open my eyes and ways to get me through work with a smile on my face.
I like to feel that I am the evolution of my older family, the next generation of druggist, better, more educated and with a bit more willpower... No jail or death by addiction for me, I say. Thanks Ma! Thanks Gramma! Thanks Uncle Mike!!!
