When the DARE officer said stuff like this to us as 7th graders, we laughed.

It's maybe less funny today but ridicule remains the appropriate response.

The DARE officer said drugs would fry your brain, and the kids taking and selling drugs said it was a lie to stop people from having an easy harmless good time. Considering the drugs that kids were taking at my high school, I wouldn't say either side covered themselves in glory.

heh. that's mostly fair, though DARE waged a propaganda campaign entirely unmatched by teenage druggies, who are mostly just people trying to get by.
