The problem is something like DARE is so judgemental and also contains borderline misinformation about drugs and drug use. The sort of people who would be exposed to drug use, and are therefore more likely to use, aren't going to be receptive to something which they can clearly see is being, at best, hyperbolic with them.

DARE had us convinced there was gonna be people in trench coats on every corner and that peer pressure was gonna be worse than it actually is

my school had a guy be like "drugs are really fun until they're really not fun. here's what happened to me" and I think that was prolly pretty effective

All DARE did was tell kids what drugs were, what they did, and where to find them. Then they tried to make you scared by saying stuff like "smoking weed would make your heart explode" or other BS

When I went through it they even listed corners to “avoid”… because why not tell kids that’s where to get their drugs

Everyone DOES use drugs an alcohol actually. I don’t, but all my friends do and it kinda sucks that I don’t like when they use them

No one ever offered me free drugs, heck I gotta pay an arm and a leg for my legal drugs (medication)! DARE had me believing people were just giving out free drugs

dare just taught us what kind of drugs were out there and what they did. and they would drill it into our heads week after week. all it did was make us curious.

my DARE experience was putting on the "beer goggles" in high school and riding a tricycle around the class, and i remember thinking i can't wait to do this in real life. that active addiction lasted 20 years 😭

Before they implemented the national dare program, data showed it was not effective. At all. Yet they did it anyway.

My DARE program would literally tell us hey kids drugs are bad so don’t inhale paint glue or canned air also don’t take medications out of medicine cabinets that aren’t yours I’m just saying there are other ways to raise awareness without giving kids ideas

We had our dare officer spend a whole day telling us not to smoke. Just for him light up in the parking lot. Fail

maybe I'm biased as an American but in what world do most people not drink? maybe the majority are not heavy drinkers, but I've literally only met one person in my entire life that claimed they've never drank.

DARE was a multimillion dollar giveaway to Cops. It was just a way to funnel money to police.
