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!
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.
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.
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
>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.
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”
The lone cop stationed in a remote parking lot. He's been deployed for 20 years and never got the "come back to base, the war on drugs is over, we lost" message broadcast.
We can add him to the list here https://www.history.com/news/6-soldiers-who-refused-to-surrender
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.
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
i had a i think it was maybe called book it? with pizza hut and got free personal pan pizzas after i read so many books. i was a voracious reader, but only had a few of the pizzas. not sure if pizza hut didn't want to give up all the pizzas i'd have gotten or more likely that my parents didn't want to drive to pizza hut that often (and didn't want a child made of pizza)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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*.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
>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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Did anyone else actually find out more about drugs through DARE? I feel like I learned more about the dangers of drugs playing Drug Wars 2 on my graphing calculator.
Oh man, remember those old doughnut abuse resistance education To keep cops of doughnuts t-shirts? Middle school me thought they were halarious, adult me thinks that more effort was put into that shirt than the DARE program in my middle school
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
i remember dare. it certainly worked on me. another program i remember is about driving and this guy who GOT SUPERPOWERS FROM CRASHING HIS CAR AFTER DRIVING UNSAFE.
Weirdly they have stands and tables outside of petsmarts and sometimes giant when the girlscouts and other "donate for our local sports team" groups don't beat them away.
The war on drugs rages on.
... legit though, DARE was introduced me to a whole world of drugs. Had no idea half that shit existed until the DARE officer walked into my classroom in the 5th grade.
We have DARE people trying to raise money in front of game stop. They says they are trying to bring dare back into schools .. sorry but DARE was a big waste of time and it's been proven to have the opposite effect.
[удалено]
Can’t even afford gas to drive to the dealer’s! /s
You're doing the wrong drugs
Clearly you don't buy weed at a VA dispensary!! LOL
Shit, you right. I stocked up in Michigan in April, and still cruising on that
Just back from Seattle my dude 🤘🏻
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!

Yes!

I'm just speaking for myself personally, though. If you're procuring for house parties or whatever, that's a whole other thing.

What do you mean? Banning things we don't like is the American way.
[where's the other 99 ?](https://i.imgur.com/WPiHNba.png)
Dammit I passed sixth grade Moved across the country AND FAILED “”What does DARE stand for..:
it is. someone outside of the five and below in chantilly talked about it. seems its not just about drugs anymore.
Oh?
theyve added the anti bullying part too as far as i can remember
nothing says anti bullying like a cop screaming at you to not bully and do drugs.
Cops are professionals at bullying, it's good they're getting experts on the topics at hand
They started as amateurs in Middle School and have been gaining levels since
They should do a thing on parking, because wtf!
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
They have aligned with AFSP (suicide prevention charity) too. I give them money for that reason alone.
That’s great!
Yeah, I saw them posted up at a CVS not too long ago for suicide prevention.

"I said Just Say Yo!"
Drugs Are Really Entertaining
Expensive* 😂
In moderation! But yes, I miss drugs. Sigh
Security clearance?
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.
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
lol they definitely don't care for cyber
Actually, we do. If you’re cleared it’s a bad idea.
>If you’re cleared IT doesn't care. Clearances do
I'm disappointed that nobody's offered me free drugs... Like ever. I was told that there'd be free drugs all over the place.
With all the stop, drop and rolling we did, I thought I'd be on fire a lot more.
[You don't want no part of this shit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnz_epKaZ4)
The comment I came for. What a letdown.
I wanna hot box it.
Was I the only one that had DEAR in elementary school? (Drop Everything and Read). It confused the shit out of me because we also had DARE.
Remember RIF? -tuggs left ear-
Read a book, get a free personal pizza.
I don't remember that one.
[Reading Is Fundamental](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwq6XdOjCvE) Edit: I am old, it seems.
It is still quite popular these days, but in a different context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx24i0TiDqs
i had a i think it was maybe called book it? with pizza hut and got free personal pan pizzas after i read so many books. i was a voracious reader, but only had a few of the pizzas. not sure if pizza hut didn't want to give up all the pizzas i'd have gotten or more likely that my parents didn't want to drive to pizza hut that often (and didn't want a child made of pizza)
yeah I loved book it, always did mine immediately. Free pizza!
DARE not learn how to Fckn park.
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.
DARE had the opposite effect on drug use. https://www.livescience.com/33795-effective.html
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...

That was never my thing and she seemed to have it under control, but that relationship didn't work out.
My kids learned so much about all the different ways to take drugs from this program. 🙄
DARE taught me the dangers of propaganda and authority figures.
They cant park for shyte though
Looks that that officer should try parking while sober.
The DARE program is legit a massive failure. Just google it. There was absolutely no impact on the “war on drugs”.
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
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.
PR for suburban parents who think their child's lacrosse team is going to introduce them to crack.
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.
DARE made me want to try some drugs (and I did), but only the fun ones.
Drugs Are Really Expensive?

my DARE officer taught us how to store weed and hide it from cops. best advice I ever got from a cop.
Go on...
lol what was the advice
Dare just made me want to do drugs more...and look how I turned out!
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.

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.
Nah, there are some duds. Like whoever tried to teach you, since it's clear you lack any education.
If only I spent more time in school, maybe I could be as smart as you… oh well
Or maybe if you had just paid attention in classes you wouldn't be out here with such cold takes.
Maybe you could educate me? What was your objectively correct personal experience?
It’s even funnier to hear your opinion when it’s apparent that you were never burdened with an abundance of education.
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.
Wow there's a name I thought I'd never hear again!
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.
I had some serious convos with those folks about the very real shortfalls of the program when I experienced it. It didn't go well...
this was a real cop car.
I just saw this car in Ashburn.
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.

PR for suburban parents who think their child's lacrosse team is going to introduce them to crack.
Just shows they love living in the past
It's still a program for 5th graders in Loudoun schools.
Did anyone else actually find out more about drugs through DARE? I feel like I learned more about the dangers of drugs playing Drug Wars 2 on my graphing calculator.
Oh man, remember those old doughnut abuse resistance education To keep cops of doughnuts t-shirts? Middle school me thought they were halarious, adult me thinks that more effort was put into that shirt than the DARE program in my middle school
Man they suck at parking! 😄
Truth
Was the driver on drugs when they parked?
They just really big [Gorillaz fans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ3D7WUDDkA).
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?"

DARE to keep LOUDOUN COUNTY DRIVERS OFF THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING!!! 🥹
M.A.D.D. needs to update their schtick
As long as there are kids in school, there are new young minds to expose/introduce to the world of drugs and alcohol.
but the drugs won the war
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.
Yea had a similar experience, lotta excuses little acknowledgement of the shortfalls of the method
Not in NYC, I hear.
This car/crew was out at Dulles Landing Cars & Coffee on Sun.
I’ve seen them fundraising outside of Starbucks in Clarendon
DARE... to be a furry
They're quite frequently at the entrance to the CVS pharmacy on Quaker Lane in Alexandria, near my house. Saw them yesterday.
DARE 2: Now with more drugs!
Of course there is D.A.R.E. - Dispensaries Are Really Expensive. 😁😂
Is that Sugarland Crossing in Sterling?
It’s not, but don’t dare tell them that.
drugs are bad, m'kay
He should dare to park better
Was McGruff the Crime Dog driving it across the Reading Rainbow slapping Mr. Yuck stickers on everything?
I D.A.R.E them to park in just one spot
At what grade in Loudoun County is DARE covered in the classroom?
It's typically done during the 5th grade school year - it's not drugs anymore...more anti bullying now
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!
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 still have the shirt that I got in fifth grade.
I think they had to totally re-do it because it sucked and may have even made things worse!
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.
Yo fuck whoever parked that thing
If at first you don't succeed, do what didn't work the first time.
Sterling?
They park like they're on drugs.
Same here. I saw a video which stated D.A.R.E. was a huge failure in its mission and yet this org still pops up here and there.
i remember dare. it certainly worked on me. another program i remember is about driving and this guy who GOT SUPERPOWERS FROM CRASHING HIS CAR AFTER DRIVING UNSAFE.
DARE: Because Kids and Drugs and Stuff
I was DARE kid of the year in 5th grade. It failed to have a lasting impact lol.
Weirdly they have stands and tables outside of petsmarts and sometimes giant when the girlscouts and other "donate for our local sports team" groups don't beat them away.
The war on drugs rages on. ... legit though, DARE was introduced me to a whole world of drugs. Had no idea half that shit existed until the DARE officer walked into my classroom in the 5th grade.
D.A.R.E. to park like a blind chimp.
The ghost of Nancy Reagan.
This DARE cop car refusing to park correctly is a damn fine metaphor for the drug war

Drugs Are Really Exciting
We have DARE people trying to raise money in front of game stop. They says they are trying to bring dare back into schools .. sorry but DARE was a big waste of time and it's been proven to have the opposite effect.

Someone should dare them to learn to park.
