DARE Should Change its Tune

[Ganjarden]

Youth shouldn't use substances, yet one change that should occur (Will New Pot Law Mar School Drug Policies?, Dec. 9, 2008), is the way DARE discusses cannabis (marijuana) with youth. DARE-type cannabis propaganda, based on Reefer Madness lies and half-truths, will be less convincing making way for the truth concerning the plant.

It will be unrealistic trying to convince youth that cannabis fries the brain when President-elect Obama's brain seems ok, and difficulty in teaching children that using cannabis will ruin someone's future, when government may no longer do so.

The "new pot law" will hopefully "mar" antiquated and ineffective scare tactics, making room for policies utilizing truth which may result in helping youth better, in the future. After all, honesty is the best policy.

They need to change it if they want any credibility. My daughter told me the DARE officers were being openly challenged and their bullshit answers laughed at during the last school assembly.
