Reply to comment by 12TraditionalPizza in After Arrest of 7 Cops, LAPD Reminds Its Own Officers Not to Drink and Drive by Exastiken

the problem is that dare has and always will be a failure it is the ultimate 'feel good' thing that has the reverse effect. Seriously the whole have an officer show up and tell kids that if they have one sip of beer then BOOM! frank Gallagher or if you simply see marijuana then boom living under the bridge addicted to "ice" tends to downplay the serious drugs when half of the class spends lunch break smoking the 'weed-stuff'

They talk about legal consequences instead of the issues created by drugs use within personal and professional relationships. They don't speak about how homelessness will affect future prospects and how the people around you will slowly give up on you. DARE has been a long running joke to most people and they haven't done enough to change their image.
