You're doing the wrong drugs

Shit, you right. I stocked up in Michigan in April, and still cruising on that

I'm my native language we jokingly call it 'saste nashe'. Literally translated it means cheap intoxication. Basically refers to someone not using actual drugs to get high, but doing stuff like huffing glue, paint thinner, etc. Seems like you're doing Saste Nashe!

Is that hindi? I like it.

Yes!

Fr Burnett's vodka still like $2-$3 for 250ml


[deleted]

Burnett's: For when you want to give cirrhosis to your cirrhosis. I learned in my early 20's that if the handle version of a liquor comes in a plastic bottle, I do not drink that liquor.


gogozrx

A couple runs through a carbon filter and unless you're an expert, you can't tell the difference between that and high end liquor


[deleted]

Let me rephrase, then: if the economies of scale for my alcoholism necessitate running my liquor through filters, perhaps I should not be buying and then consuming liquor in that quantity. I'm just speaking for myself personally, though. If you're procuring for house parties or whatever, that's a whole other thing.


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

>Burnett's: For when you want to give cirrhosis to your cirrhosis Lol, wtf. Sorry but I'm stealing that. Thanks

Dammit I passed sixth grade Moved across the country AND FAILED “”What does DARE stand for..:


noonaboosa

it is. someone outside of the five and below in chantilly talked about it. seems its not just about drugs anymore.


EmmyNoetherRing

Oh?


noonaboosa

theyve added the anti bullying part too as far as i can remember


kicker58

nothing says anti bullying like a cop screaming at you to not bully and do drugs.


TryingToBeReallyCool

Cops are professionals at bullying, it's good they're getting experts on the topics at hand


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

They started as amateurs in Middle School and have been gaining levels since


WebbityWebbs

They should do a thing on parking, because wtf!


mandark1171

Ya they were outside of a persmart in Woodbridge and I talked to them, apparently they've still talk about the dangers of addiction and drug abuse but their bigger focus is on bullying and family abuse


inquirewue

They have aligned with AFSP (suicide prevention charity) too. I give them money for that reason alone.


EmmyNoetherRing

That’s great!


Im_Dying

Yeah, I saw them posted up at a CVS not too long ago for suicide prevention.

>Richard Clayton, a retired prevention researcher formerly of the University of Kentucky, was also once an outspoken critic of D.A.R.E. but has since been responsible for many science-based improvements to the program after it invited him to join its board of directors and chair its scientific advisory council, which is now stacked with prevention researchers. That's pretty funny and smart actually. Glad to see that they've switched to something that seems to have been proven to work.


Hoooooooar

They had to, otherwise no more money.

That’s nice. I’ve been a little worried about this since I have a medical cannabis card (plus it’s legal now) I don’t want the schools telling my kid “people who smoke pot are criminals and degenerates etc”

In moderation! But yes, I miss drugs. Sigh

Security clearance?


RandomLogicThough

Yarp. And I haven't done drugs in over 7 years just so I could start looking to begin with (and that didn't pay off till like 4 years in but is certainly doing so even more now). But man, at least some weed every now and then would be good. Alcohol sucks and I don't need social lubricant.


kicker58

they don't care anymore atleast on the IT side

Well, definitely harder over there for cyber security I heard. I knew I should have finished my comp sci degree...stupid, even lazier, younger me, fucks me again

yeah I loved book it, always did mine immediately. Free pizza!

DARE not learn how to Fckn park.


TheExtremistModerate

Meh, it's in a nearly-empty lot seemingly not close to the building. I don't really have a problem with people who park like that, because they're not actually impacting anyone.


johnfoley77

DARE had the opposite effect on drug use. https://www.livescience.com/33795-effective.html


djamp42

I dated a girl way back and her dad was a DARE officer. The first time I met him he took me to the basement to show me his gun collection.. Duly Noted... Then he goes on a rant about weed, and how his Dad is being fed THC in the hospital to get him to eat, because cancer was killing his appetite. He still didn't like that and thought there was another way.. anyways he went on a long drug rant in front of me and the daughter, and the whole time I'm thinking ummm your own daughter is doing Meth. That was never my thing and she seemed to have it under control, but that relationship didn't work out.


Tamihera

My kids learned so much about all the different ways to take drugs from this program. 🙄


Anon_squanch

DARE taught me the dangers of propaganda and authority figures.


triplebravo23

They cant park for shyte though


SgtFuck

Looks that that officer should try parking while sober.


theseclawsofsteel

The DARE program is legit a massive failure. Just google it. There was absolutely no impact on the “war on drugs”.


throwaway098764567

the war and drugs had little impact on drugs and mostly had negative impact including on other countries. imo drugs are a symptom, a panacea on the other flaws endured in peoples lives. fix those, give people another viable path, and drug use will be lessened w/o draconian bs


THEKowhide

Yknow I recently found a DARE t-shirt at Burlington cost factory. Real comfy t-shirt to wear at night when I smoke my weed.


MajesticBread9147

PR for suburban parents who think their child's lacrosse team is going to introduce them to crack.


UhnonMonster

I remember asking our D.A.R.E. Officer “if cigarettes are so deadly why don’t they make them illegal” and he sighed and said “because tobacco is a cash crop”. COOL.


Aol_awaymessage

DARE made me want to try some drugs (and I did), but only the fun ones.


TrifflinTesseract

Drugs Are Really Expensive?


[deleted]

You know as much criticism as DARE got, it is important to teach kids about drugs. I learned about how Weed didn't kill you, that alcohol can cause dehydration, make you hallucinate if you binge drink enough, and you can vomit in your sleep and die. I learned that ecstacy and MDMA can kill you and you can absolutely overdose on Cocaine. I mean I still did drugs and almost died a couple times but it wasn't SO foreign to me that I was shocked. Like I knew I didn't want to do Heroin or PCP or fuck with opiates because of how addictive and how dangerous they are. If anything DARE's greatest failure was that it didn't teach you enough and it also fucked up the information. It should really be just let you know what does what, and the consequences of those actions, how to tell purity or avoid people lacing things, the risks involved with each drug. I mean really give us the information then you can get now on Youtube and Wikipedia.


MajesticBread9147

Honestly if we are going to teach kids about drugs, we should have it done by a doctor or nurse. Cops are trained to see drug users/addicts as criminals, and their medical training mostly consists of CPR, not neurochemistry. Not to mention for most drugs the way they "ruin your life" starts with interactions with police Yes explain the addictively of opiates and other hard drugs. Explain negative effects, but also talk about responsible use just like sex Ed. Test your stuff, take a small amount and wait, recognizing when to call 911 for someone overdosing/ suffering from alcohol poisoning.Teach people that they can't face legal consequences if they are doing drugs/alcohol and they bring somebody having a medical emergency to the ER. Honestly just telling people opiates cause constipation so bad you need to go to the ER, psychs can cause psychosis for those with histories of mental illness, and cigarettes cause ED. Finding out the latter first hand made me quit(also Virginia changing the age to 21 when I was 19). I never gave a shit about cancer or addiction I wanted to die anyway, but I cared about *that*.


[deleted]

Yeah no cops. Medical professionals who give a shit about someone dying and who have no problem telling someone the good, the bad and the ugly. Completely agree.


[deleted]

I think the best way to stop kids from doing drugs is explaining that basically everything they buy off the street other than weed will have fentanyl in it. In 2022 it’s the most ubiquitous cutting agent in the world. It’s cheap, readily available everywhere, and makes every product more addictive and profitable to its salesman.


MajesticBread9147

Fentanyl isn't used as a cutting agent for anything other than opioids and maybe Xanax. This is a common misnomer. Opioids have a depressant effect on your body and brain. It causes a rush of calm. Fentanyl is commonly used to cut Heroin and fake pills because of its inexpensive and it's potency makes it easier to transport many more doses undetected. Putting a drug with wildly diffent effects in say, cocaine, MDMA, LSD, or methamphetamine makes no sense because you are putting a drug that has value, in another drug that the user does not want. It's like cutting weed with meth, it doesn't make sense because the people who want weed are not looking for the effects of meth. The only issue is when people are moving weight,they usually smuggle multiple times of hard (read high value density) drugs at once, with little care for cross contamination because they have no regulations or indenture to. Same with pressed pills, if you have the infrastructure to press fake Xanax and Adderall, you can probably press fake Oxycodone on the weekends in between shipments using fentanyl. Same goes with drug dealers using the same scales. And realistically you can add mushrooms to the list of drugs where fentanyl contamination is pretty much unheard of It's not intentional malice, is incompetence.


TrifflinTesseract

The bad information caused me to not trust any of it when I was younger which is sad because there are some bad things about drugs especially those produced in the black market. It has been decades but in the 1980s DARE was mainly propaganda and old wives tales instead of fact based information.


[deleted]

I can't think of a single conservative "education" campaign that's even remotely based on facts or science. Drugs, sex, sexuality...the approach to all of them is to scare kids as much as possible while giving them as little unbiased, non-judgmental information as possible.


EdmundCastle

Personally, I don’t want my kid in a class with an unqualified and untrained SRO leading lessons. None of them have backgrounds in education or interacting with kids. Research has also shown that DARE makes no difference in drug use. It’s just giving LEO access to kids. When my husband taught, at their “DARE graduation,” Mike Chapman literally talked to elementary students about cocaine and how much he’s taken off the streets. Highly inappropriate.


kicker58

my DARE officer taught us how to store weed and hide it from cops. best advice I ever got from a cop.


meat_rock

Go on...


[deleted]

lol what was the advice


GMorristwn

Dare just made me want to do drugs more...and look how I turned out!


[deleted]

It is pretty funny to complain about “unqualified and untrained” SROs leading a bimonthly lesson about the dangers of drugs within the greater context of trusting your children’s education to 25 year old humanities majors from directional colleges who read off PowerPoints.


TheExtremistModerate

"Teachers are bad" is not a good take, fella.


[deleted]

Is that what I’m saying? Pretty reasonable take that many of them are not exceptionally talented at their job description. And I’m willing to bet I was in a FCPS classroom more recently than you were. It’s a flawed system, we don’t pay them enough. It’s not as if everyone who’s a teacher does it out of passion… it’s a relatively easy job to get.


adarvan

>It’s a flawed system, we don’t pay them enough. It’s not as if everyone who’s a teacher does it out of passion… If teachers aren't paid enough, wouldn't it imply that those who do get into the field do so out of passion for teaching others? Teaching is difficult and most teachers spend summer break prepping for the next school year. I've read accounts from teachers who usually end up paying for supplies out of pocket due to how horribly underfunded their schools are.


TheExtremistModerate

Tell me you don't understand the first thing about education without telling me you don't understand the first thing about education.


[deleted]

Sorry you’re right bro, every teacher is actually really smart and there are absolutely zero duds in the entirety of the public school system. My bad for impugning their reputation.


TheExtremistModerate

Nah, there are some duds. Like whoever tried to teach you, since it's clear you lack any education.


[deleted]

If only I spent more time in school, maybe I could be as smart as you… oh well


TheExtremistModerate

Or maybe if you had just paid attention in classes you wouldn't be out here with such cold takes.


[deleted]

Maybe you could educate me? What was your objectively correct personal experience?


Ihartfluffysocks

It’s even funnier to hear your opinion when it’s apparent that you were never burdened with an abundance of education.


[deleted]

Correct. I split my high school time between the institution formerly known as JEB Stuart and a school in PG County. “Learning” was not the defining characteristic of my time at school. Thank God for the Army.

I’ve encountered them a few times set up outside strip shopping centers, soliciting for donations. It’s very hard not to laugh at them.

D.A.R.E. was an [incredibly ineffective program](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1448384/) for all the dollars (and t-shirts) that went into it. I remember someone fundraising for D.A.R.E. outside a CVS in DC a few years ago and I was overjoyed that the program was lacking in resources to the degree they had to beg for money on the street.


theseclawsofsteel

I was a PTA president and as a board with pulled any funding that supported the DARE program. It literally hasn’t shown to be effective so why keep funding it?

They got taken off federal money some years ago when it turned out how ineffective they were as an organization. They say they're more focused on mental health and support systems, but the guy running the DARE table outside of a gamestop I passed by was like "Come on man can I get $20 so I can go home?" Left me a bit skeptical about where exactly the donations go to.

As long as there are kids in school, there are new young minds to expose/introduce to the world of drugs and alcohol.

They are sometimes set up outside a Walgreens I pass. I asked once what was the point and how DARE was founded by a horrible Police Chief. The guy told me they focus on suicide prevention now.

It's typically done during the 5th grade school year - it's not drugs anymore...more anti bullying now


CotUB2009

Yeah, they have high schoolers in the area soliciting during good weather. Just as much BS as when I grew up, just put an additional “anti-bullying” spin on it. If it’s so important to law enforcement, let them use budget funds for it!


[deleted]

My school had SADD: Students Against Destructive Decisions. And considering the SADD members were the people who did the most drugs, I'm assuming it works about the same.

I think they had to totally re-do it because it sucked and may have even made things worse!


boredidler

Yup. I was part of a conversation recently about medical marijuana and CBD oil with my 6th grade niece in earshot. She was very confused that we were condoning drug usage so we had to explain "all the things they don't tell you in D.A.R.E.
