The reason I point out the similarities between effects of pot and alchohol that are shown in the commercials is this: If I can make the connection, and YOU can make the connection, then kids can make it as well. Don't you understand, it makes you look like a hypocrite, and that's what kids hate most.
Just because people remember antidrug programs does not mean they "worked." I really don't understand that rationale, there are plenty of things I remember being told long ago that I don't follow now. If someone remembers that what they were told was a pack of bs, the reaction is to rebell against that and do what they've been told not to for so long. It's really not smart to underestimate children, because even if they don't understand now, they will grow up one day and put two and two together. So make sure you're really teaching them the right information.

wow. you obviously have no experience with kids. and if you do, i dread what you tell or teach them.
kids are KIDS. they are impressionable and need to learn facts so they can make their own decisions later in life. that is the key. when they are OLDER is when they can sort out the facts for themselves.
and to whoever asked ages. i'll be 25 in 2 weeks. i went through DARE. never liked the whole acting out part of it, but whatever.
if you guys honestly think that DARE, a program designed to educate kids and scare them of consequences, will make kids pro-drugs in the future are just unbelievable.
please don't ever have children. and if you do, be afraid for their welfare.
an adult needs different messages than a child.
go smoke all the pot you want. i don't give a damn. but i will EDUCATE my kids of what CAN happen if they do drugs. educating them will not make them want to do drugs. that is faulty logic
