I said that this was the logic the propaganda follows, but it is misleading.

As for D.A.R.E., I don't think it ENCOURAGES kids to do drugs, but I think it makes them a little bit more curious about it. The biggest influence in a kid's life at that time is the PARENT, so if you really want children to be well-informed about drugs, it starts at home.
i wasn't saying that you were wrong. i totally see where you were trying to go. i was just saying that you are correct that the logic doesn't add up because it is mathematically impossible. a T--->F statement will always be false.

you are absolutely right that parents need to teach these kids. the only problem is that so many parents of young kids are drug users/ drug rehabers that the kids may think it's acceptable (speaking from my own experience, not trying to be a blanket statement)
