Why?

Kids that age dont care about that. Its wasted taxpayer money. If they wanted some type of police intervention program, they should be talking to teenagers instead of ten year olds.

I think it's interesting that Truth and D.A.R.E. are both anti-drug campaigns.

Mostly because they lied about most drugs in a cartoonish way.

That's the problem with scaring people into avoiding something; once people realize they were lied to about one thing the floodgates are opened.

My dad always used to make that joke, except it was Drugs Are Really Excellent.

Needless to say he thought it was bullshit also.

Truth is even more ridiculous. Thats just a lobbying arm for the tobacco industry. All theyve focused on the past few years is eliminating the competition from big tobacco, and prior to that the messages they sent were so ridiculous and underhanded It couldnt be seen as anything but an advertisement for smoking.

Because it was ineffectual at best, and a huge backfire at worst.

Is there evidence that it "backfired"? I haven't seen anything quite like that. Though I do see people saying all the time "bahh, they lied to me about marijuana being bad!".

I haven't seen anything beyond anecdotal. Evidence that's out there is leaning heavily towards "ineffectual".

D.A.R.E. had small effects on drug use, and except for tobacco use none of the effect sizes was statistically significant.

Yeah, but ineffectiveness seems like the response should be "oh, well, you tried at least". Are there other widescale intervention programs that show strong positive results that D.A.R.E. was actively competing against?

Seems to me that this is a tough social problem, and one that's probably far more related to systemic issues and mental health than something a social intervention program will solve. But it's not like we know enough about teen social dynamics to have predicted before hand that this wouldn't be too helpful.

i remember the one time we had some dare officer come in and he gave us these workbooks and i was a bit of a shit and i drew in mine and he saw it and he pulled me outside of the class and swore at me.

i was kind of just surprised because i didn't think it was a big deal and when he dropped his first f-bomb i gave him a couple 'what?' blinks and he was like 'yeah -- you heard me.'

the problem is the entire war on drugs is a scam

if it had just focused on why cigarettes are bad and the dangers of drinking it probably would have been a good thing

It kinda did.
Too bad the lesson learned was "why become addicted to cigarettes and get lung cancer, when marijuana will get you high?"

Incidentally, that was about the same time the drinking age became 21 nationwide, thus aggressive enforcement meant weed was easier for highscool kids to get than beer.
