Not saying drugs haven't ruined lives, but the war on drugs has ruined far more.
True. But at least we get the occasional comedy out of it.
Like the DARE program!
I think pretty much every kid I knew who went through D.A.R.E. in middle school (including me) ended up smoking a lot of weed in high school.
D.A.R.E. shirts were a status symbol, but not for the reason they would have liked.
Even D.A.R.E. knew it wasn't actually effective, but they had sold it to enough lawmakers to get it written into education requirements and the steady stream of money meant they defended it until the end.
The sheriff and head of our county DARE program awarded me an award for the best anti-drug essay when I was 10. He committed suicide after getting busted on drug and corruptions charges years later. I've been smoking weed pretty regularly since I was 17 and using psychedelics yearly since I was 20
Everyone who grew up with that was finally exposed to a drug setting--a party, some acquaintance, something. They watched these people do the drug and maybe participated out of curiosity and suddenly realized that the whole DARE thing was just a bunch of propaganda that had nothing to do with reality.
Alcohol has ruined far more lives than the drugs the "war" is based on.
Tobacco as well.
It's nice that this time, we can just laugh at it. It's not like all the other times where they beat up a black guy and shot his dog for allegedly counterfeiting a twenty.
