I went through DARE in Canada 11 years ago when I was 9. They had an RCMP officer come in everyday for a week for a about 30 mins and I had to write an essay specifically on the negative effects of marijuana at the end of the week. I really didn't even understand the concept of taking drugs to get high and the only alcohol in my life was the beer my parents drank. It seemed like wasted time to me.
