Exactly. DARE and related programs aren't doing anyone any favors because once you try one of those drugs, you'll realize they're really overselling how dangerous they are.

Don't get me wrong, drugs are dangerous and many people get sucked into career-ending addiction. But anti-drug advocacy should be very honest about both the benefits and the negatives, as well as alternatives if you're looking for some benefits (e.g. regular exercise can increase energy levels a lot).

I'm in favor of legalizing most recreational drugs, which should make dosage way more predictable (no more ODs) and detect warning signs before things spiral. I'd like to legalize and tax drugs, and use the tax proceeds to fund rehab programs. Start with weed and shrooms, and expand to whatever is most popular.
