In elementary school the DARE officer was teaching us about reaction times while on drugs. To demonstrate normal reaction time, he took his keys and tossed them towards me. I watched them go by and hit the ground. He said “a normal person would have caught that.” That’s about all I remember of DARE in 5th grade.
@py_a_thonАй бұрын
Insofar as I know, the non-mitigated human reaction time under ideal circumstances is between .3 and .6 seconds. However: even drugs that seem to boost reaction time can potentially degrade the quality of decision making. Basically, being drunk and snorting some coke doesnt mean you hit sobriety level quality of human mode. You are still drunk and now u are hi on coke.

"Gateway Drug" has to be the most misused term ever, it does not mean that taking Weed makes you easier to become addicted to harder stuff. It actually means, that to get Weed you need to go to a Dealer, who is economically incentivized to entice and offer you more expensive (Harder) and thus far more profitable Drugs than Weed.

I genuinely disagree. I think you misunderstand what the label means. The one thing I think dare got right was about weed being a gateway drug for *some* people. I’ve seen it happen to myself and to countless others. What you’re missing is the curiosity that weed brings to a lot of people. It opens peoples minds into realizing that illegal substances aren’t inherently bad. I’ve also seen that a lot of people just get bored with weed after smoking for so long and want something more. And I think your theory about dealer pressure is not true at all. This does happen at times but it’s way less common than you’re implying and ignores who is actually dealing weed and drug prices. The majority of weed dealers sell just weed in large part due to stricter penalties for selling harder substances and aren’t even offering people other drugs. You’re also equating hard drugs as more expensive which is not true at all. Meth is one of the most common hard drugs used right now and you can find it at the same price if not cheaper than weed. But in saying all of this it really is only a gateway drug for addiction prone individuals. There are plenty of people who have no urges in trying anything else but weed.

Honestly, what clicked for me is when I was in 9th grade and we had some people from a home for people who were using come to my school. There was a guy, probably 20-25, saying he just got to the house today and was using yesterday. The look on his face, the way he spoke, it was devastating. I feel like that man changed my life, and I think about him a lot. That is what worked for me. I think it’s so important to hear from people who use, rather than hear from people who truly know nothing about drugs and what it is like to struggle.

TBH, Retro Bill's approach to DARE made the most sense to me of the people you interviewed. He doesn't try to punish kids; he tries to reach them where they are at. Everyone else at DARE seemed to understand there's a host of factors that could lead to unwanted drug use, but still leaned on severe punishment to address those issues instead of finding solutions for root causes. So long as punishment remains the go-to reaction, I don't think they'll find the outcome they want.

I agree with you on that. He seems like a genuin and good guy. But... A very naive, un-educated, mislead guy that believes in something instead of educating himself. I dont know if he believes in his own goodness, god, love, or something else but he clearly let's his feelings and beliefs lead him blindly instead of arming himself with facts to do what his heart tells him to. Therefore he's more dangerous than helpful. The whole DARE-program is suffering from the same issue. They dont what they're working with, they just know their "why" and for them that's enough. I think the scene were he painted over hundreds of stickers and graffiti that was put there by 100s of equal citizens who obviously feel that the public grey spaces looks better with a bit of colour. Then Bill goes there with a bucket of grey paint and covers it all (illegally) because HE feels/thinks that's right in his good heart. His good heart are somehow above others good hearts, and that is extremely dangerous. My own personal perspective of my own drug history (i used amphetamines and H for many years IV, been sober 5 years now) is that if it wouldn't have been for drugs i would have killed myself before twenty. That was my plan and mindset til i found drugs. I clearly remember when i decided to dedicate myself to drugs with the aim to stay alive long enough to overcome my problems. And for me that worked, very well actually. I'm happy today. If Bill would have came to my school to lock me up, i'm not sure that would've ended so well. I'm not saying that my story is a good example. I'm just saying that most of us is good guys. I would never paint over someone's art on public concrete with grey though. That's evil to me.

Even fantasizing sometimes about calling the cops on him when i was mad at him, only to then have a panic attack cause i was worried the cops would then take away our house. All over some pot he just grew and smoked on his own to relax with after work.

The people who know / who come in contact with addicts have some of the most interesting takes on how to solve these issues and how to treat addicts (see the Channel 5 videos in SF or Las Vegas). To me the DARE conference is just a big thought experiment: a group of people get together and try to solve a problem they have never actually seen. As much as they are in good faith, their effort are often misdirected and ineffective because they live too far from the sad reality of drug addiction

Im a recovering heroin addict, sober some years, and work for a homelessness agency that runs apartments for the chronicly homeless. Unfortunately, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, nuanced, and highly individualized. Which takes resources, some of which cant be bought, time, and sweeping cultural change at mutliple levels. Part of me says legalize as much as possible because its destroying other countries, or at least cultivating crime and funding crime, but i dont think in the US thatll solve what people think it will, especially looking at those most effected like addicts, homeless, and their families, nor crime adjacent drug use. This is a great vid tho, covers both extremes and some of the middle. Channel 5 always killin it!

Yeah, it's almost like it's actually an extremely complex issue and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for addiction! I wish our lawmakers understood this. I'm not sure if I'm fully on board with the legalize everything approach either, but I think decriminalizing all non-violent drug crimes would be a good start. Whatever your opinion is about drug use, I don't think any honest person can say the War on Drugs has been a good thing. I think in the aggregate it has possibly destroyed more lives. Good on you for getting sober. I know it's very difficult and this world certainly doesn't make it easy, but facing reality with a clear head and clear eyes is always more rewarding.

Heroin should for sure be legal. Look at how they do it in parts of Europe. They had a crazy pro with homelessness and open drug use, they legalized and backed it with services including rehab and jobs, housing healthcare etc. we do harm increase here under the guise of harm reduction because it’s not backed by services like that.

@@indieguy81I too am conflicted. Everything he stated I fully agree with. The one thing that I KNOW has happened, is when weed became legal in multiple states in the northeast, within 1 year no one sold weed anymore. Atleast anyone that I knew and I knew a lot of people that did. When we could just walk in a store and get the same, medical grade herb, there was no reason to buy stuff of the street. And I would imagine that absolutely lowered weed related crimes. Obviously other drugs are not the same. I am conflicted ! The approach that has been taken for decades does not seem to be helping. I’m not saying legalize everything just to be clear!! But we need to start looking at alternative options. Like it was said in the video, the answer is “Love”. To me, love doesn’t look like locking up a teenager and getting them arrested and thrown into an institution to potentially escalate them towards worse behavior and expose them to potentially even more dangerous people that will influence them further.

Love the doc ❤ My twin brother was a victim of the effects of the D.A.R.E erra. We grew up on the oregon coast and picked Oregon Blue mushrooms during our court mandated community service, known as "Road crew". My bother took too many mushrooms one day and ended up in pretty severe legal trouble due to his actions while intoxicated. We were 14 years old and already on probation for fighting with each other on the side of highway 101. He never was able to dig himself out of the legal system, or his psychosis after tripping so hard and "ruining" his life at such a young age. After mamy years of struggling to go to community College and keep himself out of trouble, he found himself homeless for a few years. While homeless and in and out of jail for minor offenses, he found himself sleeping in dumpsters and trying to stay clean. In January of 2021 i got a call that he had been crushed to death in Tacoma Washington by a recycling truck, they found him on the sorting line of a transfer station in rural Pierce County. If drugs were the problem, why did the system treat him like he was the problem? He could never get a leg up and i wish somebody with real resources had vared enough to help him save himself

Best deterrent for me was all the alcoholics in my family. None of them drank and became fun people. Every single one would drink then become angry and violent. I was so afraid alcohol would do that to me I didn't drink until I was like 19.

I was addicted to heroin in 2019. I wanted DESPERATELY to get clean but there is ZERO help. I had to quit cold turkey and endure months of torture to get myself off a drug i still crave to this day. The only reason I am not dead is because of my parents and the only reason I was able to quit is because my former dealer moved away. Rehab is both exorbitantly expensive and runs the risk of encountering law enforcement. The reason there are so many addicts is a culture of demonization. No one using wants to use. Thanks Andrew

“No one using wants to use” may be one of the best lines I’ve heard. If there’s enough support, there’s no space for a vice. Thanks for sharing your story, good luck with your continued recovery.

And before you know it you realize you havent thought about it for months at a time. Also congratz on staying sober. This bro is rooting for you 💪

I’m glad you called out the hypocrisy regarding alcohol vs. marijuana. My mom grew up during Reaganomics, and sees weed as more dangerous than alcohol, despite being completely OK with drinking. I’m not one to claim that weed is a glorious drug, but it has certainly killed less people than alcohol which society tolerates.

Both are very dangerous during situations when you have to be sober and responsible. Every state has rules against drunk driving and going to work under the influence of alcohol. These things need to be regulated and used responsibly. Treat one like the other, I always say.

Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi exist but I guess one has to make meme-worthy videos on KZfaq, rather than serious journalism, to make your list? I'll gladly have Andrew on my top 5 or 10 but he's not the best journalist of the century by a mile - or even the best journalist alive. In all likelihood, he's just the only great journalist you know of, because he's on KZfaq and you don't read Substack, right? Doesn't make him the best rather than it makes you someone who just doesn't know a lot about great journalism. Apologies if my assumptions are wrong.
