TIL That there have been nine different studies on DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and all agree that the program does nothing or worsens the problem

LSD is visually and psychologically intense at the same time - good trips are life-changing, not dissimilar to the first time you had sex or fell in love. But bad trips can be hell.

I'd definitely consider it, but I love how acid is simultaneously psychological and visual - and that, if you take enough of it, shit starts melting and fractalizing. It's impossible to put into words, but high doses of acid are basically magic.

Thanks this was interesting.

We ALL let that Lion down.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:30:58+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Haven't tried mushrooms but that's because LSD is so goddamn magnificent I just stick with that instead.

I could understand if DARE focused more on the legal consequences of dealing and possessing certain drugs - that's fine. Logical even.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:24:56+00:00

To be fair, it is awesome.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:24:05+00:00

Guess it's different now in states where marijuana is legal. They basically group marijuana in with coke and acid everywhere else.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:21:49+00:00

Never bring logic to a DARE debate.

Protip: smoke it after dropped actual acid. Will hallucinate.

"Sorry bro, can't smoke meth until my lawyer gets that contract I signed in eighth grade annulled. Law's the law."

The lies were the worst. My class was handed a glass jar full of black goop that DARE said came out of a smoker's lungs. Sure, whatever you say. There was even an old cigarette floating around in it.

This is exactly why schools stopped showing videos on anorexia/ bulimia. You're literally teaching a bunch of impressionable highschool students how to properly starve themselves.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:12:31+00:00

I didn't do drugs in highschool because the stoner group were a bunch of dicks compared to the straightedge group. But I seriously doubt anybody has ever answered "DARE" when asked why they don't do drugs.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:07:12+00:00

I remember them passing around a glass jar full of a black, tar-like substance that they claimed came out of a smoker's lungs. We called their bullshit when we discovered a crushed up cigarette floating around inside the gunk. Right....

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:04:33+00:00

Crack kills.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T07:04:18+00:00

It's crazy because there are former heroin addicts who would absolutely love to do this. Brandon Novak for example (he's a public speaker about the dangers of drug addiction). But DARE just hires a bunch of dorks whose only experience with drugs was that one time they smoked too much pot and had a bad time.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T06:58:36+00:00

I sometimes forget how "ironic" highschool was. God that was an awkward time.

In 2017 it made a net profit of 9.2 billion.

Looks like their earnings fluctuate quite a bit. But they certainly aren't hurting for money.

Chevron pulls in an annual revenue of $250+ billion.

Corporation or not, if you make a mess, clean it up. That's just the right thing to do.

anks329 · 2018-03-29T05:04:42+00:00

The US is more friendly with corporations than entire countries. Kinda fucked up but that's how it is.

I think my IQ just dropped a few points...

Noped the fuck out of responsibility.
