my most vivid memory from D.A.R.E. is me writing a strongly worded letter in the packet that we had to fill out, because part of the packet was about “hanging out with the right crowd” and it said that kids whose parents were incarcerated were likely to be incarcerated themselves and not to hang out with them. my dad was incarcerated, and i did not take kindly to being told that i was basically destined to go to prison and unworthy of friendship. 😐
Holy shit, man! That's awful.
To address the edit to this comment: I don't know how UA-cam screwed up and put my "😂😂😂" comment here, but this is NOT the comment I was replying to.
Tough kid
That’s so disgusting… You shouldn’t judge a child based on their parents
Ironically, the isolation is a high risk factor. So... Good work, dare! It's true bc you made it true
Bruh that's fucking awful
I think the green screen man was trying to tell us, “ Don’t do weed. Do acid”
"Who knows? Maybe I'll look like a normal person!"
i think the green screen man was A acid trip
😂🤣
Nah, salvia
@@illegaljumbo8587 he was the energy source for acid. Every time you take acid, a bit of him dies.
Don’t do drugs, or drug man will die.
It’s the rat park theory. When rats were given things to do-not just basic needs like food and water but games, special little treats, companionship, etc-they turned down the drugs. Sometimes they tried them, but the other stuff was more rewarding than the drugs.
The rats alone in a bare cage with nothing but the bare necessities to keep them living did the drugs.
So actually giving the kids more pizza to keep them off drugs isn’t far off.
I like how you think.
That study has been widely debunked
@@driverjayneHas it though? The majority of heavy drug users are in situations where for whatever reason they aren't getting the fulfillment they need. Drugs trigger the hormones that you produce when you are happy, excited, calm, depending on what drug. The main reason people seek out something that will trigger those hormones is when they have difficulty producing them naturally
@@driverjaynesource?
@dtgnimbus4575 the "criticisms" section of the Wikipedia article, for a start. Plus like five seconds of googling. 🙄
They had us all convinced that it would be so hard to reject drugs, like our friends were going to pin us down and shove the joints into our mouths. In reality, this was the conversation: "You want a hit?" "Nah, no thanks." "Okay."
EXACTLY LIKE
Honestly, I’ve felt like more people have pressured me to drink as an adult than anyone ever made me feel pressured to do drugs as a teen.
@@tegantalks9612literally, same
nobody's gonna share their fucking stash with you if you don't want it, shits expensive.
I got more pressure from my friends to sell them my prescription drugs that I had to get from the nurse's office than I got to take drugs.
There is an ad in new Zealand about smoking where a guy smokes for years and then his dog gets lung cancer from the second hand smoke and has to be put down and that is the most affective anti smoking campaign I’ve ever seen
that shit scared me into never being near dogs lmao
shit man i gotta quit smoking, it kills dogs! wtf people lol
Years of passive weed smoke, the only thing that can end the immortality of a dog.
Is there anything that new Zealand isn't good at?

My favorite DARE related memory is that in the five years between my brother taking DARE and me taking DARE, they had to replace the officer who ran the program because the original officer was arrested for selling drugs to kids.
That is a fantastic level of irony I love it.
Oh, the irony.
So he was using the DARE program for networking. Smart thinking.
I remember when my dad told me to ignore everything they told me about weed in DARE because it was “paranoid bullshit”. He told me to worry more about painkillers and cocaine. They didn’t tell us about cocaine so I had to ask dad what cocaine was.
yeah sounds very on brands 🐽
I had the best anti-drug talk from my parents. “If you manage to get ahold of anything, we’ll do them with you”. Everything is lame as a teenager, when you parents want to do it with you.
That would have worked.
My husband plans on confiscating my children’s pot (if they smoke) and getting them to roll joints then smoking with them and critiquing them on their rolling skills and their weed choices.
@@tegantalks9612DAMN! The double whammy of not only “parents wanting to do it with you making it instantly uncool” but also the “your lame parents are better at this than you.” Lmao
@@meredithmitchell8921 his friend’s dad did it to his friend 20 years ago and he’s been looking forward to the day he could do it with his own children ever since because he thought it was hilarious.
You just reminded me of the time the Winona Ryder lookalike stripper I twice slept with smoked weed with my mom, jfc where's the memory bleach
I was on ADHD meds throughout most of my childhood during the 90s so when I started to hear things like "don't do drugs" I would get confused because I actually did drugs and they helped me function.
When I brought this up they would always say things like "well you can only take them if a doctor says it's okay". Then I would ask what was the difference between good drugs and bad drugs. I never seemed to get a straight answer other than "they're illegal and you'll get in trouble if you do them". Then I'd do the classic "rabbit hole of why" and they'd find an excuse to move on
Well if they told you they're bad because they're unregulated and they're unregulated because they're bad then I can imagine the whole spiel would crumble pretty quick.
You got confused because you are stupid. You are stupid because you don't pay attention. Your comment is 100% proof. You are so stupid in fact that now someone has tricked you into taking the drugs they sell to solve a discipline issue. So tell me how much do you enjoy being a stupid drug zombie?
Sure lol they cant tell you that your pure amphetamine molecule your taking and actually help you are bad but the one on the street are bad the only differance is that the street one is like taking a shot and the one you got home is like sipping a 12 in 10.
no bc id be the same kid asking them a million questions
"What's the difference between prescription drugs and bad drugs?"
"Shut up."
I think people really underestimate what pizza is to a young person.
And goddamn laser tag.
A similar scenario happened to me when I was 36, I volunteered for a haunted house and all the pizza was gone by the time they released me (late) from my position. Still pissed off.
I haven’t gotten into the video yet so I don’t understand the context of this comment, but I agree with you.
yeah pizza is extremely persuasive...for a young person...
Yo Joshua, I feel for you man
Literally a D.A.R.E instructor yelled at us to not do drugs very violently and 5 months later he died of a drug overdose
How ironic...
Damn. Maybe he was yelling becuase he knew he was hooked (herion/meth) and deep down when he looked into all your little shiney eyes he probably really felt his additction deep in his gut. Probably felt the need to yell as if it would work and keep you guys away from that shit. Trippy
Poetic, isn’t it
@@longsleevedream9228 You stole my line!

The only thing that my local DARE program contributed to my community was inspiring the guidance councillor in my school to attempt to invent a similar program about suicide prevention and teaching kids about mental health, developmental disabilities, etc. It was REALLY good, and despite a few flaws it was very well thought out, and she was able to get other schools and psychologists in the region on board. Unfortunately, though it ended up ultimately failing because she couldn’t get any funding to produce programming materials for use in other parts of the province. :(
I wish we had something like that at my school, that would have really helped. Seems like your guidance counsellor truly cared about kid’s wellbeing
I love how the “nonsense” conversation was actually just a normal boring conversation about her painting her room but they just pretended to sound high when they said it so it would sound dumb
DARE came to my school once. I started sobbing loudly because they said “anybody who smokes dies.” My parents were smokers, so 7 year old me was pretty upset about police officers telling me my parents were going to die. A teacher had to pull me aside and had to tell me that my parents were most likely not going to die anytime soon because I would not stop crying
Are they dead yet?
Well? Are your parents kill?
@hXcFreethinker I meant from the smoking,
Well, that's a bit counterintuitive. Now you've got mixed messages!
The same thing happened to me. Maybe thats part pf whats wrong with our generation. Outside people coming in saying our source of life would be gone because of a cig.
Remember kids if someone offers you drugs say, “Thank you” because drugs are expensive
I do that with weed. I refuse any other drug.
But I have the money, it's a bit different.
@@Poodleinacan lol
also maybe dont do that bc almost everything now a days is laced with fentanyl :D
@@sincerityiscary yeah, all the weed has those nasty things in them now. That needs to be the narrative now that people don't buy the idea that it kills brain cells anymore.
Hell yeah! One god damn oxy 30mg pill cost almost $40 now!!! Fuckin crazy!
As someone who gained a lifetime appreciation for reading books thanks to my school bribing me with a free full pan pizza every so often for keeping up on my reading, _you might have a point about that pizza slice._
Book It was lit, I'm glad it's still around (even though Pizza Hut is kinda trash now).
DARE stressed me tf out as a kid. Like I'd think my parents were about to die every time they wanted to have a beer or something because of the shit that DARE was pumping into my brain
Was terrified of tylenol for a while in 2nd grade because of it
I remember freaking out at a basketball game because my mother ordered a Bud Light. DARE was so fucked up man lol
At my school DARE said "kids don't huff paint and glue to get high" and half the kids in my grade were like "you can huff paint and glue to get high?" so you can imagine how that went. The art teacher had to keep all the rubber cement in a locked cabinet.
😂
They taught a valuable lesson
i remember getting a questionnaire in 4th or 5th grade about drug use
Similar situation, that’s how i learned glue and paint can get you high
@@tacticallemon7518i learned that by being in an enclosed space(not really, garage with the door wide open) and using a can of spray paint. I finished up and walked outside to realize I was walking like a drunk
yoooo the words "rubber cement" just unlocked a few memories
Me before DARE: “Weed is what my dad pulls in the yard!”
Me after DARE: *knows all slang terms, average price, immediate effects, side effects, and history of all drugs*
yup, it was a drug education class pure and simple.
When I did dare they literally told me how to take drugs and what they all did and what areas have them
Oh yes, real drug education, like how weed kills brain cells and makes you want crack somehow, or how cocaine makes you an addict from snorting it one time.
Only seeing the D and E
@ebony b I would assume, but I still haven't seen any proof of that either. That said, probably a bad idea for kids to smoke anything.
I had no exposure to drugs before DARE, i literally learned everything i knew about drugs from DARE at that time. After learning that if i did drugs i would literally die, and from the stress of school and being bullied every day i did drugs so i would die. But as you might imagine i didn't die but got insanely high instead, got attacked by a giant psychedelic rainbow number 8, and passed out on the kitchen floor for a couple hours. Only to be roused by my grandmother telling me to do that in my room instead because i was in the way of cooking dinner.
sounds pretty rough
8:04 that conversation is like fully coherent. She wants to paint her room, doesn’t know if some third person will like that, but that her parents are okay with it.
Literally, that was my thought lol. It sounds like conversation I have with my friends
"Go to country style donuts and buy the dare bear" sounds like it's a drug deal in itself.
“Go to Country Style Donuts and buy the DARE Bear, open his head up and reach into his chest cavity, to find 4 ounces of pure, uncut, crack-cocaine”
Speaking of donuts, eddy sounds like james from donut media
@@tobytoyota6936 aye thats wassup 😂 ol Pumphrey I can kinda hear it
Oh yea lemme get a pound of that dare bear
You CANNOT convince me that green-screen monster man wasn't invented by someone high out of their mind
this is what a drug looks like.
Lmfaoo
Psychedelics are a crazy thing
Literally
The conversation between the two kids after "smoking" is honestly so realistic. That sounds exactly like me when high out of my mind with friends haha
In first grade (before dare) we had a drug awareness class where we had to circle all the pictures of drugs, which of course had coffee. So I went home and told my parents they were on drugs and needed to stop.
The school didn’t have anymore of those classes.
My DARE instructor was a police officer and also a CHILD PREDATOR. That shit was wild when we found out why he got fired
actual average fed
I love that the cop who taught our DARE class always chain-smoked in his car after school in parking lot
They all do lol
r/wooosh
Lol that’s hilarious did you guys just sit there and watch em smoke or something I am just curious and trying to paint a picture.
Amazing
Bruh I didn’t even see your username and immediately thought of Donny boi
Ngl i was so sheltered as a kid that the way i learned that drugs *existed* was through DARE.
oh shit same lmfaoo
Same 😔😔
I knew what drugs were by 4 because I watched a lot of cool shows sorry I meant cop
Same here, I also decided to try drugs because I became curious because of it
Same
3 years late but im still gonna tell my fav story. when I was in 5th grade my teacher decided to integrate our dare program with us learning how to do a 5 paragraph essay so we had to do an essay about why dare was good. I say miss teacher this is an argumentative essay right. she said yes. so i wrote a whole essay about how dare was bad and a waste of time when some people needed more time to focus on reading and math. when i handed it in my teacher was very politely trying not to laugh. she eventually turned to me and said thats a very good essay but im sorry we had a format we had to follow. i very sadly returned to my desk to rewrite propaganda for the cops
Oh no, lmfaooooo! At least your teacher appreciated it! 😅
"Wow, Mike's good!"
Also Mike: pops an extremely basic O
ollie that literally every skateboarder learns.
He was such a poser.
in the 90s, though, first tricks.
if you want to tell kids the dangers of drugs, dont bring a cop, bring an ex junkie.
As a person who worked with many addicts and recovering addicts, this! Show just how much it will ruin your life from someone who's gone through it
Take them for a drive through that one section of whatever city is closest to you. I live near Philly, so naturally that one section is Kensington and Allegheny.
I’m from Canada and in grade 8 we did a sex education camp as part of our learning curriculum and they actually brought in 2 former prostitutes who were also former drug addicts to talk to us about what being a sex worked on the streets was like and how dangerous it was. They also talked about being drug users and all that stuff. It was very eye opening.
bring a current junkie
Very true! Also, bring in sponsors and therapists for ex-junkies that can further explain why people become addicts, the actual sciences around addiction (with anything, not exclusively just drugs/alcohol), what kids can do if they recognize they're becoming harmfully addicted to something, etc.
However, that would also mean adults addressing things like systemic societal problems with things like mental health as well as a bunch of other things that encourage people to fall into addictions (including drugs), to begin with. Something extremely hard enough for adults to do with each other, since falling into addictions has always been over-generalized as part of a person's personal failings, and addressing things based off of it being systemic can often be seen as controversial for some people.
“Wanna feel good?”
*pulls out fruit by the foot*
20 year old me: ”god do i.”
That was the shit
i now have the image of someone smoking a fat joint just with the paper being replaced with fruit by the foot
Hell yeah fruit by the foot!
I remember going thru the DARE program in 6th grade. we had to sign a paper at the end promising we would never use drugs or alcohol. I wrote "I cannot promise I will never try drugs or alcohol in the future, but I learned some things from your classes." Sure enough age 17 comes around and I'm smoking pot, drinking beer, and doing mushrooms lol. However I can say the program definitely made me think about the consequences of drug abuse more and I never went overboard. So it wasn't a complete failure. We had guest speakers come in and talk about how they ruined their lives due to drug abuse. I don't know if DARE had such speakers nation wide, but it was certainly what impacted me the most.
I remember, back in the 90's, that the DARE program was still going around in schools. Though, we didn't had to be bribed with bowling overnighters, we were being guilt tripped and scared by seeing pictures of lungs in horrible decay, meth teeth, and I think there was a medical dummy stand that showed the decaying organs that your body will 100% get if you take one ounce of drugs.
During that time, the only fun thing I remember were the beer goggles. The ones that make you feel drunk. Those were fun. Everything else was pretty forgettable.
I've never seen a DARE shirt worn unironically.
i actually still wear the one they gave me in 5th grade as pjs lmaoooo
You got some weird friend my guy
I have seen many people smoking marijuana and wearing dare shirts
Only when j have nothing to where
my friend wears hers to school when she’s going to do drugs later
After one of the big DARE assemblies, a kid in my school went up to a cop and turned in his dad for smoking weed. The kid wasn't in my class, so I never did find out what became of that, but I remember feeling really bad for his dad.
Holy shit haha that's brutal
Going through the DARE program after my mom having to advocate to keep the school from forcing me onto Ritalin in 1st grade should've felt more surreal, but at the time, it just felt redundant.
"Drugs can alter your neurochemistry!"
"Yeah, I know. I associate it with a horrifying loss of autonomy. But I guess I'll learn the factoids for a pencil, before braindumping them."
DARE drug descriptions be like
Meth: makes your teeth fall out
Heroin: you could die
Marijuana: you laugh a lot and food tastes better
Lol very true for all of the above, moderation is what they need to teach, some people are going to experiment.
Their honest atleast
idk, back in my day they said if you smoke pot once you'd most likely go completely insane forever. i was like, sign me up
@@TheRealRusDaddy whose honest is that?

I went through D.A.R.E. twice because I moved. The second time, they showed us, as children, unedited self-inflicted shotgun wounds, car accidents with photos of victims and a guy that cut himself in half at the waist on a table saw on purpose. It was insane.
That DARE psa with the Fall Out Boy intro was actually perfect considering Pete Wentz nearly died of an Atavan overdose
they also use about 4 seconds of a Blue October song (X Amount of Words) SPECIFICALLY and LITERALLY about a man abusing drugs as a way to cope with grief, and why that's ok and maybe even good

-Don’t bring cops to tell people that drugs aren’t ‘cool’.
-Peer pressure doesn’t just come from groups you’re outside of. Many kids get into drugs from their best friends. “Why would a friend offer me something that could hurt me?”
-Telling kids about a bunch of drugs and how to do them is not a great way to keep kids from trying drugs.
Dare was great: taught kids where to get drugs, how they were used, why they were used, what they did, potential side effects, how to identify drug abusers(who will give u drugs). What a stellar idea.
DARE had kids thinking that every time they walked down the street people would be offering them drugs left and right like it was candy
Well if you lived in SanFran or Detroit that was actually how it was in the 80's lmfao.
That always confused me. You gotta be a real dumbass to just give away weed to kids of all people, that shits not cheap 🤣
I know for a fact this isn't true. I have tried and it never works. Also when I finally do find someone on a street corner the drugs are never as awesome as they promised. 😿
🧡🦇
DARE made me think that my entire future would be filled with people offering me FREE drugs and I've lived in a perpetual state of disappointment since then.
In my 30 years on this planet i've never met some rando come out of the ether to offer me free drugs.
We didn’t have Dare. We had this thing called “Dude, Be Nice” and it was an anti bullying thing. The students literally made fun of it so much that they stopped making us do it after the first semester
dude stop being so mean be nice.
They bullied the anti bullying program out of existance.
@@emrahalien2972 bullying rates drop to 0%
I loved that program 🥺maybe it’s cuz I was bullied so much
i had that too!! i actually remember it being pretty okay, but yeah it was gone after one school year
I grew up during dare, everyone thought it was the lamest crap lol I only have fond memories of Scruff Mcgruff because after their presentations, they sent us all home with thick coupon books that had coupons like entire free meals or ice cream at restaurants, no purchase needed. As a poor kid, I always looked forward to them.
I think we can all agree: Lack of unlimited pizza after promising unlimited pizza is BULLSHIT.
It’s kinda weird how they constantly “DONT DO DRUGS DONT DO DRUGS JUST SAY NO!!!!!” What’s the thing that teenagers just love to do? Rebel, just teach them how to be safe
It’s like teaching abstinence only sex Ed. Like no teenager is going to listen to that. They just need to learn to be safe
Seriously. Like Johnny Depp told his daughter he knew she was going to be around drugs at some point, so if she ever wanted to try weed he would let her try it under his supervision so she wouldn’t try for the first time in a scenario where she could get hurt.
exactly. instead of telling us what happens if we happen to do them it's mostly just "lindsey did an acid. lindsey died. don't do drugs kids." like??? what good does that do? how did she die? what happened before she died? they don't tell us ANYTHING.
@@mikakick7180 you can't leave us hanging like that, we have to know how Lindsey died!

The DARE instructor at my sister’s school told all the kids how math was made, and unsurprisingly there was a seemingly overnight epidemic of math labs.

my DARE instructor was a RCMP officer.
I had an incident where she severely misunderstood my answer to a question and got pretty stern.

@@eldenemerald7962 It isn't impossible, but it is a common thing people claim. Have you ever actually tried smoking something with regular paper? It isn't as fun or as satisfying as it sounds, and you would probably quit after the first drag.
@@DriscolDevil I admit I haven't ever done drugs. But I was saying that the OP's story didn't sound fake.
I remember DARE but not much about it.
The thing that made a bigger impression on me was a safety day camp thing and they had a whole section on electrical safety. They had a machine that would generate power line voltages and showed what it did to an uncooked hot dog. I was fascinated lol
What’s funny is I actually learned more about drugs and why not to do them while I was a stripper than I ever did in school. If anything, the dare program confuse the crap out of me because I didn’t realize that certain drugs like alcohol and marijuana will not kill you if you have one hit. It actually gave me a very severe complex I didn’t drink or smoke, or do anything until I was over the age of 19. I’m actually habitual marijuana user now and I have a medical card because I use it for chronic pain and inflammation.
It’s crazy, though I learn more about drugs when I was a dancer for sure. You would see girls who would get their entire lives thrown away in a few months to heroin or crack. They would literally do anything for these drugs, and it was so depressing and was a bigger Way for me to never want to do any of them.
It was more effective than anything there could’ve ever showed me. I watch the reality is what happens when someone gets very very very addicted to heart substances and it’s absolutely terrifying.
I’ll also add that these people were good people that were going through rough things in their lives and just made a wrong choice but it’s still to this day taking over a lot of their lives. The way there went about it was insulting and fear mongering if anything. I gave them no credit for the fact that I’m not a crackhead or a dope addict. I give that 100% to dancing. Because I have a very addictive personality, and I knew that if I ever got near those drugs, it would be over, but I knew that because I saw it happen to other people.
If you really don’t want your kids to do drugs, you just need to be honest about the horrors of them. And you need to tell them the reason why people get to that point in their lives, and that there are different options for help instead of drugs. If we had a program like that, you probably actually would have a lot less drug addicts. It’s interesting though I have heard that Dare Failed miserably, and it’s really sad. Honestly because I have a lot of friends who have a lot of addictions to this day.
I pray to God, her education systems got a little bit better at educating her to learn about things that they actually are going to need to know throughout life. Honestly, if it’s not, I’m homeschooling my daughter I could care less at this point I’m not letting her fall into the trap of being incredibly naïve and just thrown into the world like I was as a child.

I remember the D.A.R.E. Program back in 5th grade in 1996. We were 100% clueless on drugs. They came in and taught us the names of all the drugs, the neighborhoods where to find the drugs and the code names to use to get the drugs from the drug dealers and they said “dOn’T dO dRuGs”

That was the same for me and most of my classmates in 1995. Most of the kids I went through dare with do drugs, sell drugs or have died from drugs! Dare was a dumpster fire that did more harm than good in my town! And the fact you had to go to a doughnut shop to get a cop to come to your school... I just love it!
The cops that visited my school in 7th grade to talk to us kids about meth (because the neighborhood was notorious for meth labs). Cops didn't skimp out on showing us what you look like with prolonged use, what a lab looks like, and even how to spot one and report it.
To this day, I've never done it and still remember what I learned that day (I'm 32). That was more impactful on me than the countless years DARE came to my school.
I love how Eddy just guarantees that kids will stop doing drugs if he gets the apology like he has been the mastermind behind all this ever since he was denied unlimited pizza and laser tag. The ultimate evil villain scheme.

Asking for the “D.A.R.E. Bear at Country Style Doughnuts” sounds like a code for buying drugs
They've been teaching us how to buy them the whole time.
D: Teaching
A: Kids
R: to buy
E: Drugs
Hey can I get some of that... dare bear.
The bears had a "suprise" inside. I legit failed dare, no joke.
"Hey! Want to give your kids some basic levels of education on a life-saving issue by people who are state employees sworn to protect and serve them anyway? Then go buy fucking doughnuts! Why, you ask? Because fucking Reagan, that's why!"
Yeah!
At my elementary school we had an afternoon every once in a while where DARE set up a bunch of info booths in front of the school and we all walked around them instead of being in class. The anti-tobacco stuff was good because they had models of what happened to your lungs/mouth but the other drugs were all about just saying no to peer pressure and nothing about any bad consequences of saying yes so there you go
The county constable did the dare program in our district in Texas. He went on to be elected the county sheriff when I was in high school. He went on to be convicted of racketeering, extortion and drug trafficking and distribution.
one year after I graduated from dare, our dare leader was arrested for drinking and driving lmao.
Dude same! Open bottle...in her cop car while on the job lmfao 🤦🏼♀️
Oh Boy Art Yeah. Hilarious given he could've killed himself or someone else by doing so.
Mine got out of prison last year for fraud by stealing $10,000 through the DARE program.
@@NikeTubeStudios lmfao you know where that cash went
The way my school did it is we had an assembly made from an ex heroin addict and he told us his life story(In seventh grade) . How even though drugs make you feel good then the ability to feel good starts to go away in other ways and you become addicted and sick and in horrible condition. He told us after selling drugs and doing them got him in horrible shape and almost into prison. He had gotten arrested but he went to rehab and turned his life around and now helps inform kids and make sure they don’t get into the place he did. I think it was very affective and two kids actually cried. I think they should do it a way like that in every school. They even gave out pamphlets of places to go or numbers to text or call if you or your family needs help.
Gabriela M. yeah, heroin will fuck you up. the mistake schools make is acting like weed is just as bad as crack
Where do you live??? Wow!! I want to raise my future kids there! 😭
Imagine it was a paid actor
Man, all my school got was some lame ass christian rock band and the lead singer basically gave a sermon about how he killed some people while drunk driving. Then there was a table off to the side of the gym for "general emotional help" but it was just a jesus loves you become saved bullshit kinda thing. I think a couple kids cried there as well and went to the table. Crazy thing, public school too.
Lusty Argonian Maid I live in new jersey and I went to a public school. the guidance officer who is in charge of the assembly’s is so good but not really anything else lol. tbh the assembly’s and drama department and the art classes are the only thing good about the school unless you really love roaches like the ones in out bathroom lol
Number one lesson from DARE: telling kids not to do something will just make them want to do it out of spite.
So many bizarre memories... I'll share 2. One was a nightmare-fuel cartoon D.A.R.E video that featured a talking joint that must have been patterned off of Ursula the Sea Witch. Another memory is of my father ranting about how he had to go down to the school office and demand to know why I, at age 9, was coming home from school with a better understanding of the effects of different kinds of recreational drugs than on my times tables. That story resurfaces every so often, and the whole family still laughs at the absurdity of it.
my big gripe with dare is that they gave me a card when i graduated and swore ON THE BIBLE to me that I can use it to get a free small soda from mcdonalds for the REST OF MY LIFE and those fucking CHEAP CARNIES at mcdonalds started denying my card when I was 25.
Thats fine. I guess I'll just go do drugs now since everything is a lie.
This is the best thing I’ve ever read
😂😂😂 cheap carnies took me out lmao
I’m just surprised it worked until you were 25
There was a McDonalds advert for a coffee cup that gave free coffee for life decades ago, saw some guy using his still afew years back… I think u got jipped bro
I’m gonna do three lines just to spite the people in this guy’s story
We all used to wear our D.A.R.E. shirts while toking down because we thought it was the height of wit and humor.
I know this comment is old af but the fact that I literally have a smoking jacket that way I don't reek that is dare and I was toking while reading this made me happy
I remember the biggest stoners in school being the ones who were the most keen on wearing their “drug-free and proud” ribbons during drug abuse prevention week, always with an ironic chuckle.
this makes me wish i still ad my dare shirt lmao
It still is.
You actually bought one of those shirts lol
I remember being taught what drugs were and their slang names in DARE. I wouldnt know anything about any drug without dare.
Thanks for the lingo 😂
I also remember them trying to overdramatisize every drug as "do this and youll end up in prison or dead"
We also had a conversation about gangs and i remember i didnt learn anything about actual gangs other than "this is why we cant wear hats at schools"
And cool kids are going to bribe you with ___"
Say "no" and be a nerd. 😂 sure.
Dare at my school was great. The adults explained the dangers of drugs in a very calm and informative manner.
sorry dude i can’t do drugs i signed the contract that said i’d say no to drugs
What about a lil bit of coke, on the house
The Canadian now we’re talking
Yes 100 like uwu
@@wut_birbowo6166 Hey kid want some crack?
The Canadian sure dude
the issue with dare is that they treated the program like a haunted hayride for weed. i didn't learn anything about the opioid epidemic through dare. i never learned how to spot a drug overdose through the dare program. all i learned is "ooga booga weed will melt your brain"
and i was one of those kids who never wanted to smoke the devil's lettuce but here i am a decade later and i just got my med card renewed heyo 😎😎😎
So many good times smoking a bowl with my D.A.R.E Shirt on.
Unrelated, but am I the only one who thinks 9:10 looks too much like blackface?
the overdose point really makes me think about how ineffective dare's curriculum really was. i never had to do dare, afaik it got removed from my elementary school the year i was supposed to start doing it, and what made me decide to claim straightedge is all the secondhand experience i've had with seeing the way drugs affected other people. teaching kids how and when to administer narcan would probably do way more to teach them a lesson than making stuff up to scare them; i feel like i would've been way more likely to start experimenting with drugs and would've gotten myself into far worse things had i been taught a bunch of stupid bullshit that i realized was stupid bullshit
If D.A.R.E. keeps preteens from operating heavy equipment while under the influence, then it’s successful. After the age of 12, you’re on your own, kid.
One of my only D.A.R.E memories is of the teacher that they brought in making fun of me in class because he asked the class who cried before and didn't raise my hand (because I couldn't hear him). He made sure to bring it up everytime after that in some way.
I never did drugs (or smoked weed) not because of DARE, but because I was in like a bunch of different sports and clubs. The anti-smoking campaign had more of an impact on me because they showed the gorey details of what smoking does to your body.
D.A.R.E. was very misleading. People don’t just offer up free drugs 🤷🏻♀️ I was very disappointed as I grew up and no one offered me free pot
Anna Belke dude ikr 😂😂
@Real Donald Trump "Female"
what? people who smoke were always offering me weed when I hung out with them. there was an incident with morning glory seeds. I didn't have to pay a cent for any of it.
Ironically, it's the good friends who actually offer you free pot growing up.
yeah, i don't think i've ever paid for weed, although I usally brought the booze
I've got a really cool 90's neon D.A.R.E fanny pack. All I use it for is to carry my drugs.

I remember my D.A.R.E. coach, Officer Jones. He was cool. Sometimes I would come home from school and he'd be there talking to my mom. Usually when my dad was busy at work.
We also have D.A.R.E down here in Brazil. Not only it introduced me to concept of drugs but it also gave me the statistics I needed for years later reach the conclusion that I should start smoking weed since I was already into alcohol.
dude when a cop came to my school, they were like “yeah, being tazed hurts, and doing drugs messes up your brain, and being arrested sucks” then proceeded to explain that when she was a prison gaurd, the prisoners were actually pretty cool, and most respected the rules of the prison and some were actually really nice, and she literally said one of her favorite people ever was a prisoner arrested for drugs. like, wtf man.
Drug users are usually the least violate prisoners. They're there because a system that should help them punishes them
I’m a 25 year old heroin addict. My older brothers used drugs, my mum is an alcoholic, had a nice mix of trauma and fights and experiences that fueled my mental health problems and led to tons of more drug use.
And lemme just say, of the dozens of different users I’ve met in different situations, I haven’t met one “bad” person. I met a lot of damaged and lost people who did shitty things under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But above all, we who abuse drugs are scared, underdeveloped, and simply are trying our best to get through day by day.
@@meowntown69 It isn’t just punishing overzealously. The 13th amendment specifically allows involuntary servitude for people in prison. The prison industrial complex needs minor crimes to carry jail time so they can get their supply of not technically slaves.
There’s a lot of money in this, and that means lobbyists making sure there’s always enough prisoners to meet demand.
@@Numbabu oh I know it just didn't fit well into my comment
I think this is actually pretty good
She explained legit consequences but didn't present all drug users or prisoners are heinous monsters

I had DARE in the 5th grade. That summer, my family moved to a school district that did DARE in the 6th grade. I had to suffer through it twice.
DARE taught me the drugs I wanted to try and use. Nothing about how to use them properly and not abuse them.
The dare at my school compaired drugs to 9/11 “hijacking your brains like the terrorists hijacked the planes” it was not effective it was severely made fun of.
during withdrawal, youll crash harder than al-Qaeda crashed those planes into the twin towers
I remember this from my school too.
Implying that 3,000 people will die if you do drugs?
@@allisond.46 3,000 brain cells maybe
@@WatchVidsMakeLists DARE killed more brain cells than that through shear boredom.
Bruh the officer that taught dare to us promised us a HUGE party. The “party” was literally just people in the cafeteria handing out one slice of cake per person and we had shitty lemonade too.
Cake and Lemonade, ok *now* I'm concerned... What a horrible combination
Children don't do drugs.. eat lots of cake.. cake will make you good at life.
sounds like that party could have used some drugs
We didn't even get a party, just some sad pseudo-graduation that took too damn long

I love how mad Eddy is about the lack of pizza. That personal story is such a gem!
We didn’t have DARE at my school, but we were required to take a “health” class in middle school that was basically just “don’t do drugs or drink” and at one point we had to draw a paper out of a bowl to see what drug we had to make a presentation about and I got LSD and all that did was make me go “dang psychedelics seem pretty cool”. I had never considered doing drugs before that but that report made me kinda want to try it lol
I hate how they named it DARE like they were trying to make it cool
Maybe they were just trying to ride the coattails of that one song from ‘Transformers The Movie’
That's because their true enemy was the T.R.U.T.H.
I dare you to not do drugs
I dare you to give me my god damn pizza
Like daring to do drugs because its got a weird name.
Gotta admit, those tHIs iS yOuR bRaIN oN DrUgS commercials were the funniest shit and great meme fodder.
dude i remember the above the influence commercial where they were cardboard on a couch and acted like it was terrible, but thats me high and its the best.
A channel called the tin can bros actually did a great skit based around it. I think you can find it if you look up 'tcb this is your brain on drugs'
We used to say that commercial all the time, with other things, to make fun of it.
I remember the one with the girl smashing everything with a pan
It was a wildly ineffective program and we were its failed test subjects. The only thing I remember from my D.A.R.E. program was the trip to Dorney Park my class took after it was all done. I'm the daughter of two heavy pot smokers and have only smoked it twice in my life as an adult. I already knew a lot of this shit by this time from my parents rationally explaining things on their own to me so I didn't need a lot of education on drugs by the time I got to that program. Honestly the best way that I learned not to do drugs was when I was 12 years old and had learned one of my dad's friends OD'ed and died because of those fentanyl patches.
I remember DARE vividly, but I always forget what it stands for😭 "Drugs Are Really Expensive" has been my go-to
I have been offered drugs by a stranger exactly one time in my life. I was about twelve, at the park with a friend, when this guy who looked about twenty came up to us and said, "hey if you got five dollars I'll get y'all high as fuck." I responded, "nah man I'm good," to which he replied, "alright," and then walked away.
Who the fuck was it, Abe Lincoln? When were drugs ever that cheap?
If you look like a nark no one is gonna give you free drugs.
So odd💀
Same. I’ve had people offer me drugs I said nah they were like ok and that was it.
did you get that guy's phone number
I still remember being a kid in elementary school and being taken out of recess so a police officer could talk about not doing drugs.
All i could think about is how much i wanted to go back and play on the swings like bruh, why would they take my recess away ;(
Same, i was playing an intense game of tag with like 30 people and there was like 4 people in my class that were in the tag game and i kept looking outside and seeing all of my friends in other classes play tag and i was :((((
Never in my life have I had a strange adult or BF or friend try to coerce me to do drugs. I'd get offered weed and I'd be like "nah I'm good" and they'd be like "more for me" lmaooo
The best drug education I ever receive came from simply talking to people who did/do those drugs and asking open and honest questions about their experience. The only time it didn’t make me not want to do them was with weed, which severely helped my anxiety for many years before a finally quit. Most of the time if you ask someone with experience about the negatives they won’t be shy to share them with you- unless they are a dealer who also happens to hate you they don’t want you getting into something you’re not comfortable with and bad trip.
“It’s not even weed, it’s a fruit by the foot!” I cried, that was so funny to me
Deadass had a fruit by the foot in my mouth, does this mean i did the drugs? Help
“Aw what the FUCK MIKE!
The editing, everything was so perfect man
Me too
Honestly fruit by the foot used to be more addictive than weed.
