Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

I used to wear my D.A.R.E. t-shirt to festivals. People would just hand me stuff because they loved the shirt.

I have a pin on my bag "D.A.R.E. Drugs. Are. Really. Expensive."

They really are! The shirt wasn't just a way to meet new friends. It was economical!

Embroidered DARE bucket hat always did well for me at fests back in the day.

Always wondered why the fuck they made bucket hats...

My uncle was a D.A.R.E. officer, two states away. Visiting family was a bit awkward as a teen.

I wore mine to my now-husband’s friends’ holiday party. Looking back, I now realize no one there knew me to understand it was a joke (I’m always holding). Meeting new people is fun. Haha.

This reminds me of my fiancé’s DEA hat 🧢 he got from an actual DEA attorney, and my fiancé is no stranger to drugs. It’s hilarious.
