D.A.R.E. | The REAL Reason Cops Taught You About Drugs
Clarification: The term “Epstein list” was used referring to his contact book and flight logs, not the list that’s existence is debated.

It had the opposite effect.. kind of like Rob Reiner's – campaign for tobacco free kids that South Park made fun of

Ah yes, the Drugs Are Really Excellent curriculum. I'll echo a bunch of people in here that obviously the program was trash. If they went about it the right way and maybe had people that were in recovery talk about the horrors of drug addiction, instead of telling kids where to get them and how to use them, this whole thing could have been a success.
1 year and 3 months clean. Thanks DARE.

I was at a comic con, and being jokingly? pressured into going to a rave instead of a panel I was in line for.
I kept having to say “no thanks” and then I was like “oh my gosh is this what DARE taught me!? am i finally using this information!?” and they got the idea and backed off lol

Am i the only one completely thrown off from the editing.. like youre handling a serious topic here, why are you stopping every 15 seconds to build suspense as you cut to yourself or mia (?) To just react to whatever you said ? It feels like those shitty netflix docs. Youre saying jokes with a straight face after saying facts.. also the padding, constant stops, black screens, pauses as a single sentence flashes on screen..

The people I've come to know that are the most into mind altering substances are also some of the kindest and most caring people I know. None of them have ever pressured me to do anything (literally no peer pressure) but have freely offered to share things with me if I'd like to try things with them, "the first time is free" was always framed as a way to get people addicted before exploiting them for money, but that hasn't been my experience at all. They by and large use things responsibly and always look out for each other to make sure people are safe and get help when they need it
Same goes for the queer community, the polyamorous community, the atheist community, and lots of other non-normative communities. None of them are perfect of course, but none of them are the evil dangerous people people told me they would be. It turns out that people just like to demonize the people that aren't like them and don't conform to society's expectations
I know that there is plenty of toxic drug use culture out there and I'm not saying that people should just go use all the drugs or trust anyone who gives them drugs, but the reality is nothing at all like what I was told as a kid

As a kid, being earnestly told by people I trusted that I’d likely have cardiac arrest the 1st time I tried cocaine was the first step in realizing that I should never trust the government. 😊 It was a great lesson. I was able to tell my kids to RUN, and not hide and wait to be killed by a school shooter. I was smart enough not to get the experimental covid shot.

I was 14 and the cop came and told us how good drugs made you feel but that drugs would ruin your brain and make you crazy. Next day I asked the new kid from Las Vegas if he knew anything about pot. Yep! $10 for a baggy, we smoked it all.

I thought DARE was stupid for some of the reasons mentioned here, but sorry, telling me that rich people were on the board wont make me immediately and irrationally hate them. Im not a commie.

Why is this one sided ?
Think about this as a fact. Drug dealers were giving Free samples of all kinds of drugs to children in the elementary schools of southern California, to get them hooked and become a life long addict.
Why did he leave this fact out of this video ?
The fact that gang members and drug dealers had infiltrated the schools grounds of southern California.

the hardest thing for most people to get their heads around is just how bad the corruption really is… 'The love of $ is the root of all evil.'

10:53 Exactly. It served no purpose. The only piece of evidence needed to know that Sirhan Sirhan was not the killer: the fatal shot was in the back of the head, whereas Sirhan shot him from the front.

DARE only taught me what kinds of drugs were available and how they could kill you. Which ended up making it easier to do drugs for longer since you were more educated about them.

As a kid I thought DARE was a way to educate, encourage, and indoctrinate kids into doing drugs so they had more bad guys to catch in the future 😂

DARE did not work for psychopath kids but it mostly did work for kids who can feel real emotions.

I used to volunteer for DARE as a teenager that's when I learned about Raves, Ecstasy and what to look for if my friends were going to raves. I found my niche and wouldn't have without DARE.

Not American, but I remember cops being assigned to schools to go there talk to students, guide them and sometimes talk in classes too.
I remember a comic book made by the police that taught you how to behave and what to stay away from, but when it came to drugs, they didn't go into much detail of what it did, just the downsides, risk of death, the strain on your family, how you might think you can just quit but your body will fight you, etc.

So, educators didn’t look at the program at all and just accepted it? While telling students they need to be more critical thinkers and making fun of the janitor who makes more money than the teachers. And these are people we want our kids to look up to… 👩🏫 🤦♂️

I keep seeing stuff like this and i keep thinking, why do so many people still after all of the corruption blindly believe and trust in the government without any thought.

It was a joke in the 90s. We were laughing about it in high school, it was obviously a scam at the point.

I was in elementary school when D.A.R.E. was active, and they came to our school. I didn't know about drugs until then, that's the way it should have stayed! They helped spread the word that drugs would do all these things to you, I have seen sooo many of the people I went to school with die from drugs. I blame the area we lived in and that "program" for all the devastation.

All that generation now is all on every drug. So it did its job to get everyone to go do drugs, and boy oh boy they did

So a huge percentage of our generation probably wouldn’t be addicted to drugs if DARE didn’t present them to us 😢

My school had this really nice officer named Dave who we all respected and he always wore a smile
I dont remember anything about the drugs. Just the nice police officer
In my opinion, with the right officers, there is a positive impact. Really helped me with my outlook on police growing up. But with drugs? Nah. I smoke weed

I was chosen to go to DARE summer camp as a kid in the 90s. Only 2 kids per school went. Being so young, drugs were not even on my mind. I just wanted to be away from my parents and find a girlfriend my age.

The DARE program said all drugs were just as dangerous as the hard stuff, including Marijuana. When people found out it wasn't true, they questioned everything they'd been taught.
