21. D.A.R.E Is Not 420 Friendly
In 2012, D.A.R.E. America decided to refocus its new curriculum on character development, as it realized that anti-drug content was not always age-appropriate. They wanted to make sure that they could reach all students, and not just a particular age group.
Most students in this age group have no basis of reference to the substance, and research indicates that teaching children about drugs they are unfamiliar with may stimulate their interest or curiosity about the substance.
