Question by Dbl-A-ron: Is D.A.R.E working to prevent drug abuse in teens or is it just a waste of tax dollers?
D.A.R.E has been around for about 20 years, is it working to prevent drug use in the youth of America? I’m not sure it is, seeing that the number of drugs being used hasnt decreased in decades. Why are we paying for a program that isn’t working? D.A.R.E uses scare tactics when teaching about drugs. I remember hearing that marijuana causes severe brain damage, but studies show this to be false. Also it cause lung cancer, recent studies have also shown this so called “fact” to be false. Why are we allowing these programs to lie to the youth?

waste of tax dollars. The school system think that by allowing for children to experience these types of programs that they will be able to not get hooked onto drugs…they are wrong.
