DARE, Which Apparently Still Exists, Is Furious at a TV Show for Dumb Reasons

The National Alliance of Mental Health has a phone number for the teen drama Euphoria, which is rife with sex, drugs and trauma.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program was created in the 1980s by the Los Angeles Police Department and is now taught in schools around the US.

Rather than further each parent's desire to keep their children safe from the potentially horrible consequences of drug abuse and other high-risk behavior, the television drama "Euphoria" was created.

The Come Down

It's made by the notoriously risque HBO, and with frequent content warnings and an IG post about the show, never mind that it's from the main star.

DARE's message is outdated. With recreational marijuana now legal in 18 US states, the "Just Say No" slogan of DARE feels toothless.

It makes sense from a public health perspective that marijuana have a respected place in any future society because of its legalization and promising Medicinal properties.

DARE and the Organization for Social Media Safety collaborated in July of 2021. The two taught lessons about screen addiction in teens. When research shows that increased social media usage negatively impacts kid's mental health, that's a sharper, more modern focus that kids might actually listen to.

Companies are abandoning drug tests because they block good candidates.
