D.A.R.E. Turned Me On
There were only three things I (and, I think, everyone in my class) took away from the D.A.R.E. Program:
- 1. D.A.R.E. told us not to do it. In high school, they told us to stop doing it...
- 2. Second of all, the officers gave us a tour of their entire (confiscated) stash, the street names for all the shit, and where they (and we) could get all of 'em...
- 3. They tried to brainwash us with all the cancerous lungs and death statistics (which were collectively depressing enough to drive a man to drink; which it did...); and we fooled around with the drunkgoggles was fun...
Oops, I lied; there was one more thing:
- 4. They also gave us each an entire order supply's worth of merchandise--D.A.R.E. tshirts, coffee mugs, tote bags, full stationary sets, stickers, and gift certificates...
Basically, the program's totally defunct and a joke beyond belief. Like I said at the beginning, they're turning more kids on to the stuff than off...
