Ours definitely didn’t convey anything about “make sure you are in a safe space if you end up taking it”, it was fully “don’t do it, it’s evil!” and was so over the top that it definitely backfired for many kids. I also think that their practice of showing kids sealed samples of said drugs de-mystified them and made some kids curious.
DARE did a little program in our cafeteria. There was a cop at a table with various drug things on it, including a big bag of weed. My friends and I walked by and I commented appreciatively,“Now THAT is a big bag of weed!” And the cop, in full serious cop mode, said in a dead serious voice,“Yeah. That’s enough to KILL YA!” We laughed and walked away. The whole thing was so stupid.
