Do think scaring kids about drugs is actually helpful?

[Anonymous]

I don't think it is. I feel like the first time I smoked weed, all of the scare tactics were shattered. Weed is awesome!

I think that instead of the DARE program, schools should teach kids about addiction and managing it and what it truly is.

I think most people are addicted to something. It doesn't have to be drugs. It's just that drugs are REALLY fun. It's no wonder people get addicted to drugs.

People get addicted to video games and food and many other things.

The real thing they need to teach is how to balance your state of being as happy or sad or anxious or whatever.

And to deal with those things that are fun and rewarding such a video games, rhat can end up becoming an addiction.

No you shouldn't let them know it even excists. Drugs has become a epidemic

I think people should be free to choose what they do with their life regardless of the consequences.

But hey I believe in freedom and I know these days that makes me a bad person with no morals.

[glennos89]

Ofcourse there should be free choice in what you want. But children are easily influenced so untill they are old enough to make decisions where they are able to understand the consequences of their decisions they shouldn't be teached what drugs is and which ones there are out there.

We all made some terrible decisions in our youth because we didn't think about any consequences right? I know I started doing drugs way to early and that decision I regret till this day

I certainly didn't imply we teach them the specific drugs. But how to deal with addiction in general. It applies to more than drugs. It applies to anything that a person can be addicted to.

[glennos89]

Addiction is a tool to suppress the general people from being able to progress mentally and therefore a ideal weapon to control the masses. In that way the "elite" keeps control of their money and power and it makes it easy for them to. control us... To them we are "sheople"🐑🐑🐑

Can't escape from the brutality of that statement lol. I'm sure you're right.

[glennos89]

Life is hard... Being on the bottom of human society 😂🤷‍♂️

The opposite. Once they try them and realize they don't instantly die they will realize they were lied to. Then they will trust more dangerous drugs because they will assume they were lied to about those as well.

Yes, I certainly think so. But how the message is sent, is important.

[VictorMachiavelli]

It works for people who aren't stupid.

[Asker]

Well it certainly worked on you.

[VictorMachiavelli]

Correct.

[Nikki1989]

No, it simply doesn't work.

[In_Trance]
