Silver lining:

Conservatives have learned absolutely nothing from the failures of the D.A.R.E. program...

My favorite thing from the DARE officers coming to school was them teaching us what street drugs looked and smelled like so we wouldn't get ripped off buying oregano instead of weed or drywall instead of cocaine. 😃

Our equivalent gave us recommended pricing to make sure we don't get scammed.

Also, all the different common household things you never would have thought to huff that could be huffed to get you high. Someone out there is huffing freon apparently.

Ooh I think I'll try a little from column A , most of column B, and none from column Cor D. Thanks for the recommendation.

I work with a dude who wears a D.A.R.E. shirt every day and he’s absolutely on drugs lol.

My wife used to wear a D.A.R.E. sweatshirt in college, we were always high as well. I don't think anyone sports and dare merch unironically.
