90's kid here. Dare introduced my generation to drugs. The showed us what weed is in 5th grade, and we were smoking it in 6th grade. I remember once when they were describing the negative effects of weed. One of the negative effects was "a feeling of euphoria". We looked that word up in the dictionary that day and got pretty curious.

Dude gave a detailed play by play in how to shoot up heroin. It always stayed with me because of how insane it was to me. It was almost to the point of the clayton bigsby sketch where he told kids to go see Martinez cuz his stuff was da bomb.

In elementary school the DARE officer was teaching us about reaction times while on drugs. To demonstrate normal reaction time, he took his keys and tossed them towards me. I watched them go by and hit the ground. He said “a normal person would have caught that.” That’s about all I remember of DARE in 5th grade.

Insofar as I know, the non-mitigated human reaction time under ideal circumstances is between .3 and .6 seconds. However: even drugs that seem to boost reaction time can potentially degrade the quality of decision making. Basically, being drunk and snorting some coke doesnt mean you hit sobriety level quality of human mode. You are still drunk and now u are hi on coke.

TBH, Retro Bill's approach to DARE made the most sense to me of the people you interviewed. He doesn't try to punish kids; he tries to reach them where they are at. Everyone else at DARE seemed to understand there's a host of factors that could lead to unwanted drug use, but still leaned on severe punishment to address those issues instead of finding solutions for root causes. So long as punishment remains the go-to reaction, I don't think they'll find the outcome they want.

There was a guy, probably 20-25, saying he just got to the house today and was using yesterday. The look on his face, the way he spoke, it was devastating. I feel like that man changed my life, and I think about him a lot. That is what worked for me.

I agree with you on that. He seems like a genuin and good guy. But... A very naive, un-educated, mislead guy that believes in something instead of educating himself. I dont know if he believes in his own goodness, god, love, or something else but he clearly let's his feelings and beliefs lead him blindly instead of arming himself with facts to do what his heart tells him to. Therefore he's more dangerous than helpful. The whole DARE-program is suffering from the same issue. They dont what they're working with, they just know their "why" and for them that's enough. I think the scene were he painted over hundreds of stickers and graffiti that was put there by 100s of equal citizens who obviously feel that the public grey spaces looks better with a bit of colour. Then Bill goes there with a bucket of grey paint and covers it all (illegally) because HE feels/thinks that's right in his good heart. His good heart are somehow above others good hearts, and that is extremely dangerous. My own personal perspective of my own drug history (i used amphetamines and H for many years IV, been sober 5 years now) is that if it wouldn't have been for drugs i would have killed myself before twenty. That was my plan and mindset til i found drugs. I clearly remember when i decided to dedicate myself to drugs with the aim to stay alive long enough to overcome my problems. And for me that worked, very well actually. I'm happy today. If Bill would have came to my school to lock me up, i'm not sure that would've ended so well. I'm not saying that my story is a good example. I'm just saying that most of us is good guys. I would never paint over someone's art on public concrete with grey though. That's evil to me.

@@JimmyHagerstrom It was pretty clear from the video that DARE used evidence based methods and was willing to adapt and evolve. Retro Bill is just a mascot I don't see what he said was harmful or misleading. Your described experience actually reaffirms DARE's philosophy that drug users have mental problem which is better solved with therapy than drugs so I don't understand why you used it as an argument. It's good that you stopped abusing drugs because you already are not making much sense.

The people who know / who come in contact with addicts have some of the most interesting takes on how to solve these issues and how to treat addicts (see the Channel 5 videos in SF or Las Vegas). To me the DARE conference is just a big thought experiment: a group of people get together and try to solve a problem they have never actually seen. As much as they are in good faith, their effort are often misdirected and ineffective because they live too far from the sad reality of drug addiction

Im a recovering heroin addict, sober some years, and work for a homelessness agency that runs apartments for the chronicly homeless. Unfortunately, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, nuanced, and highly individualized. Which takes resources, some of which cant be bought, time, and sweeping cultural change at mutliple levels. Part of me says legalize as much as possible because its destroying other countries, or at least cultivating crime and funding crime, but i dont think in the US thatll solve what people think it will, especially looking at those most effected like addicts, homeless, and their families, nor crime adjacent drug use. This is a great vid tho, covers both extremes and some of the middle. Channel 5 always killin it!

Yeah, it's almost like it's actually an extremely complex issue and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for addiction! I wish our lawmakers understood this. I'm not sure if I'm fully on board with the legalize everything approach either, but I think decriminalizing all non-violent drug crimes would be a good start. Whatever your opinion is about drug use, I don't think any honest person can say the War on Drugs has been a good thing. I think in the aggregate it has possibly destroyed more lives. Good on you for getting sober. I know it's very difficult and this world certainly doesn't make it easy, but facing reality with a clear head and clear eyes is always more rewarding.

Heroin should for sure be legal. Look at how they do it in parts of Europe.

@@indieguy81I too am conflicted. Everything he stated I fully agree with. The one thing that I KNOW has happened, is when weed became legal in multiple states in the northeast, within 1 year no one sold weed anymore. Atleast anyone that I knew and I knew a lot of people that did. When we could just walk in a store and get the same, medical grade herb, there was no reason to buy stuff of the street. And I would imagine that absolutely lowered weed related crimes. Obviously other drugs are not the same. I am conflicted ! The approach that has been taken for decades does not seem to be helping. I’m not saying legalize everything just to be clear!! But we need to start looking at alternative options. Like it was said in the video, the answer is “Love”. To me, love doesn’t look like locking up a teenager and getting them arrested and thrown into an institution to potentially escalate them towards worse behavior and expose them to potentially even more dangerous people that will influence them further.

Love the doc ❤ My twin brother was a victim of the effects of the D.A.R.E erra. We grew up on the oregon coast and picked Oregon Blue mushrooms during our court mandated community service, known as "Road crew". My bother took too many mushrooms one day and ended up in pretty severe legal trouble due to his actions while intoxicated. We were 14 years old and already on probation for fighting with each other on the side of highway 101. He never was able to dig himself out of the legal system, or his psychosis after tripping so hard and "ruining" his life at such a young age. After mamy years of struggling to go to community College and keep himself out of trouble, he found himself homeless for a few years. While homeless and in and out of jail for minor offenses, he found himself sleeping in dumpsters and trying to stay clean. In January of 2021 i got a call that he had been crushed to death in Tacoma Washington by a recycling truck, they found him on the sorting line of a transfer station in rural Pierce County. If drugs were the problem, why did the system treat him like he was the problem? He could never get a leg up and i wish somebody with real resources had vared enough to help him save himself

As a kid who grew up in the 90’s, I had absolutely no interest in drugs until D.A.R.E. introduced me to what they were. They’ve made my lived since then a whole lot of fun.

@@m.s.35 real, I smoke weed or do molly and psychedelics a lot less frequently than that, so why is drinking every other weekend better than responsible drug use twice a year or whatever. Drug education will never be effective and able to be taken seriously until people address the hypocrisy with alcohol vs weed or illegal drugs and accept that some of those drugs can be just as fun and safe if used responsibly

You wanna know what the problem is? I have an idea…. As a Buddhist practitioner since 2011, one of the concepts that I’ve become acquainted with, is that of the interdependent connectivity of all things. In Buddhism, we strive to experience this-as part of a state of consciousness, not just as a theory. And over time, through devoted practice, one can begin to see this aspect of the reality of life in real time. One major problem with our approach to addiction (not to mention many other things) is that we tend to view it as though it occurs within a vacuum- disconnected from any causal relationships. This way of seeing addiction is just flat out delusional, because there is no thing in life that bares the quality of independent origination. Everything is connected to something; has been influenced by something else; owes its nature to the nature of something else. Because we do not understand this, we cannot fathom that addiction is a problem that we all created. It is the natural product of our entire way of living. And we cannot ever hope to cut it out, as a tumour is removed from the living flesh. Because as we do this, the tumour surely just grows back, because the circumstances for its growth still persist.

I loved your incogni add approach. Love your work. I'm in my 40s. Went through DARE in Burbank in CA. I think we only saw the DARE dude probably 3x in the school year and never again. At the time I think most KIDS automatically rejected the message because it was just uncool to listen to this officer. It felt awkward listening to a dude that we barely knew and didn't know who we really were. Honestly it was forgotten as soon as he left. I did lightly use Marijuana later in life between 14-16ish and DARE had no impact on me using it.
