DARE: Keeps kids turning in their parents.

[Cain]

Our first "drugs talk" was in a science class video, so it was pretty right on.  Our second one was by a teacher who was a former cop, and aside from giving it the old "I saw a kid who took LSD, thought he could fly, jumped out of a window, how tragic" was pretty on the facts.

So I guess I got lucky.

the key to solving this issue is to make sure you are always on the ground floor while dropping LSD.  That way, not too far to fall.   

Or, as Bill Hicks pointed out, if he thought he could fly, why not try flying around by jumping off the ground first and check it out.  This kid was a moron, he's now dead and that's good.

On the other hand, I heard the exact same story in 8th grade.

Which leads me to believe that urban legend is being presented as fact.

Yeah, I've heard the same story recycled so many times I'm sure they're either talking about Frank Olson or it's bullshit.

Who the hell has the energy to fly when tripping their balls off? I never did.

I can't actually view this at work due to firewall, but there's a good chance it answers the urban legend question

Diane was autopsied and the results of toxicological tests became known. Nothing unusual turned up in the screening, thus ruling out her having taken drugs that night.

Lots of good info, but that sums it up nicely.

Did anyone remember something called G.R.E.A.T. back in the day?

Also I remember becoming suspicious with D.A.R.E. when I noticed that different instructors would give completely different "side-effects" of marijuana.

HAHA, Gang. Resistance. Education. And. Training...

I went to something like seven different elementary schools and three jr. hs, being a military brat/product of divorce, so I've been through the wringer with that sort of shit... I had to do at least three different DARE programs, not to mention as many "health" classes as schools I attended (including one my freshman year of high school. (I FUCKING ALREADY KNOW WHERE BABIES AND AIDS COME FROM< I GET IT ALREADY.) Only one of those schools had G.R.E.A.T, and it also happened to be one of the most suburban schools I ever attended.

I know what you mean. I moved from Pheonix the a small town upper Michigan. It blew my mind that this little backwoods place would have Gang education when their biggest problem was drunk driving.

Lies. The St. Ignace Vice Lords will fucking anybody!

Oh they had their share of Wangsta thug wannabees. I think the biggest crime they ever committed was slashing someones tires.
DONT FUCK WITH THEM.

That's a pretty fucked up story. But just to play devil's advocate...I know plenty of parents that smoke pot and have it around the house. Difference is the pot is not where the kids can get to it. Still-Lesson here-Teach your children well and with trust, so they can come to you with shit like this instead of the authorities and then run the risk of being raised in foster care.

My mom was the one who showed me how to roll a joint. 

[Cainad (dec.)]

My parents never had drugs in the house and never used anything illegal during my lifetime, as far as I know. But they were VERY quick to make sure that I knew D.A.R.E. was full of baloney when it came to their scare stories.

My parents thought that marijuana would make me engage in illicit sex and be possessed by demons. So DARE was kinda child's play

Wait, it doesn't? Well, there goes my interest in the devil weed.

See when you're on drugs, you don't have control of your brain. If you don't have control of your brain, the demons can get control of your brain and then they will possess you!

Might explain why I have so much more fun these days actually....

So, in some sense, your parents turned out to be quite right about this eh?
