I actually never concluded DARE was fake I had to be told I was not the sort of kid who was invited along when drugs were happening so I was like 19 when this occurred

a major formative political memory for me is when it took all of us kids like half a day to realize DARE was really obviously lying about at least some things, and then watching people conclude that all downsides of drugs were probably mostly fake

in retrospect I really appreciate my mom's approach especially given her experience with my bio dad and later, the foster kids she was completely open about the fact that people like the way drugs make them feel but emphasized that it could wind up with you chasing that feeling
