Classroom memories of JUST SAY NO and D.A.R.E.

I thought of things the D.A.R.E. program tried to teach us in elementary and high school. It goes back to in 6th grade and even other grades we would write scripts about how one kid was trying to push drugs on us. And the other was trying to turn it down and convince the other kid he/she didn't need it. Like alcohol and cigarettes. Not that's those are good. but you get the picture. Then we would act it out and put it on video.

Then we would have anti-drug assemblies where all the dude would talk about is how we shouldn't do drugs. Granted children shouldn't. But at the same time I feel CBD/THC edibles for children when they seem ready to feel a little would be alright. I'm thinking like edibles for 12 year old and up. But they preach the just say no agenda in the 90s when I was in elementary and high school.

Then in health class the whole way through we would learn the 5 classes of drugs that cops and the DEA use to classify drugs. Barbituates and narcotics stimulants hallucinogens and some other. Depressants? I feel this is again geared at prison for use not treatment for abuse and responsible use. Of course they still teach these things in school. I just don't know how extreme it is. Because the 90's was the height of the D.A.R.E. and the 80's just say no.

The alternatives? They also taught abstinence only when it comes to sex. So no sex. No drugs. Of course you will become a robot that's only function is to go to work 9-5, reproduce, smoke cigarettes, and drink alcohol and coffee. As an adult.

I mean the end result is you get a tainted drug supply in the illegal trade. We also have learned that our president at the time and his first lady were repeat visitors to Epstein island who are also murderers.
 
In the late 60s/early 70s we were told that all illegal drugs were extremely dangerous, including weed. I smoked weed and had friends who smoked weed and I saw that it was no big deal.

My conclusion was that they were lying about everything else, too. So I eagerly consumed every drug I could get my hands on.
 
It's my belief as an adult that needles are still bad ROA.
We all got into Weed at 14 or so. And college was pretty liberal.
Yeah, it's like telling you not to do something, you feel the need to go do it.
When you were going through the Drug war got started and the controlled substance act. Nixon penalizing drug users because he couldn't incarcerate somebody else for being Mexican or black.

or Those who criticized the Vietnam War.

It started back with Johnson "Great Society".
 
I feel like the government should teach kids to not do drugs however they failed. Dare said weed was hardcore and scary and after I had tried weed and liked it, I decided to try more drugs because of dare.
 
Public enemy number one is dangerous narcotics.
Nixon said that in a press conference staging an all out offensive on drugs.

Absolutely. 💯
 
I remember "Officer Mike" kept hitting on one of the 5th grade teachers really blatantly (the same teacher who abruptly disappeared one week in the middle of the year 🤔).

I still can't believe he did prison time for a joint or a couple grams, I don't reneged exactly but it was fucking ridiculous. The man was being chased down for being a super bad influence to the masses( according to them). Sure the guy wanted ppl to wake up after doing research with peyote and psilocybin but at the end I think too much LSD went him go a lil bit cuckoo. Awesome guy nevertheless, he will never be forgotten cause he fought the system til the day he died 💯💙

The same thing happened to Ken Kesey for the same reason. The psychedelic movement was something Nixon et al feared, for little reason as far as I see. We just wanted to be left alone
 
We've got some ridicilous books written from some pseudo-proffesors or sort.They said that masturbating would eventually crippled a young man....haha..and there was a story with some student,who masturbate soo much...start to missed from school practise,get alienated grom friends....lock in his room and jerk..Very sick boy obviously.Did not attend to full capacity to engage socialistic way of life.....it was not proper for youngster in socialistic society to jerk....it's decadence...i think the guy was incurable and he continued this terrible vice till his end.....bullshit:)hahaha
 
I think we need another modern day Leary.

I really wish I lived during that generation. I romanticize it a lot, and not just for the drugs and free love or whatever. It seems like, as H.S.T. put it, a "very special place and time to be a part of".
 
I like when Leary talks about The nervous system and how doctors are afraid to talk about it. But his actions seem kind of dickish.

However Shulgin, Hoffman were great figures too. Chemists who are heroes.
Then the head of MAPS Doblin is a leading advocate for psychedelics.
Then there's Hamilton Morris who I'm kind of on the fence about.
 
Gabor Mate,Claudio Naranjo,Dr.Cartreit-Harris,Dennis&Terrence McKenna,James Ott....a lot of.Sure would come soon a new Leary too....the times are volatile

Don't forget about John C Lily, he went fking nuts from too much ketamine, the guy couldn't get enough of it. Ofc there's also baba* Ram Dass and TERRENCE MCKENNA, how could I forget about him.
 
I remember Just Say No and McGruff the police dog. Complete abstinence from drugs and sex in high school. But it was my dad who scared me most about smoking weed, so I didn't even try it until I moved out and went to college. Experimented with a few hard drugs later but I still don't buy into the whole Gateway Drug BS. If anything, cigarettes and alcohol are the true Gateway Drugs. Weed is still my DOC though.

Been on a Terence McKenna kick lately after reading Food of the Gods. Sucks that he died relatively young.
