In 6th grade I won an award... It was for an essay the D.A.R.E. Program in elementary school required us to write, about how we would never use drugs in our lifetime and why. For one I took it as a joke and was actually intrigued with the information about how drugs "affected" the human mind, bodies and souls. Instead of being taken by fear and to do as I am told, I am driven to find out what it is that they don't want us to have. Most of the time our parents will say no to things that their child wants. Regardless of the "NO" the child still wants what is behind the no and will do many things to try to attain this item. This initial act of conditioning is actually what drives me to go past the "NO" and manipulate my way into achieving what was so drastically trying to be kept from me. Now not every child behaves this way. They are called "Normys". Half of us will say "ok ok... I give up No means No". Not to me... No always starts when a child wants candy. To the child Candy is good. SO when the D.A.R.E. Officer, Reagan and my parents said NO, I stopped to wonder why, what can be so bad? they had the same answer to many other things before which I found to be good... This must be too. I fooled the teachers, the principle, the D.A.R.E. officer and whoever else read the fucking thing because I got Best Essay.
Since I could remember I "escaped" from any undesirable situation I can think of. One very literal example that I can remember is when it was shower time at home. My mom would first give my sister a bath and leave me naked running around the house. Once I could reach and learn the workings of the door knob I would "escape" from my bath (undesireable situation) by opening the door, naked as a beast, and take off on my big wheel. I know a Child molesters dream, this was when they were laying low and not grabbin kids off the street and offereing them candy to get into a car, no this was when people were civil and when they spotted this 3 year old taking a sunday cruise on his big wheel naked they attempted to bring him back home. This is the most obvious example of escapism that I can think of in my childhood years. Well besides Nintendo. Fuck real life, I can die all i want and jump from block to block, Even shoot fireballs at my enemy and have them incinerated right in front of me. Why would I want to engage in real life? Anyways I'm rambling what I'm getting at is that I and many other children use escapism at a very young age and grow accustom to doing so the rest of there lives. We will lie, cheat, and manipulate our way around the "no"s and create "YES"s. All you had to do was observe your parents response to the stimuli that you throw out. Like Pavlov and the dog, yes I'm sure alot of you trained your parents to react the way you wanted by doing certain things or acting certain ways. Sometimes the manipulation goes beyond your comtrol and you are forced to A. act out your lie, or B. blow your cover. Sometimes act out the lie becomes overwhelming and you even forget your lieing to get what you want. You believe it's what you want. Then you're in too deep.
Reagan and his administration should have really thought this thing through. Those of you that have heard "ignorance is bliss" should be able to relate to this next idea. If we were never exposed to what was out there we wouldn't seek it. Just like we know humans can't fly, we don't have wings. no super natural powers to let us float, so very very few of us try without aid of an airplane or hangglider or whatever. I never knew what a vagina looked like until sex ed. They even tell you which hole to stick it in pretty much. I wasn't trying that until I found out about it. They literally tell you where the pussy is and how to fuck it. Just like how schools now pass out condoms "if they're gonna do it, they might as well be safe." Now kids are having sex younger than ever. Thanks knowledge and the adults trying to be "Cautious". So now Reagans wife goes on a JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS campaign rampage all over the United States, Giving all us who say Just say NO to NO another way to Get what we want. What are they hiding? It must be good. Anyone who finds a gold mine will not openly tell everyone about it, if they are smart they will hide it. With that logic in place, More and more kids a re gonna try it.
I forget what D.A.R.E actually stands for i think it's Drug Awarness and Resistance Education actually. Now take the word Education. When you want to learn about something and pursue it, you want to be educated in the subject. It seems kind of weird to educate 5th and 6th graders about things they will most likely enjoy and tell them NO. The D.A.R.E. Program in my opinion is more destructive than constructive, whatever anyone tries to say. If DARE was abolished I really think we'd have less of a so called appademic than we have on our hands. Plus most of the drug money just makes other countries economies stronger since thats where we get it from, especially mexico from heroin sales. WIth a recent exception to pot in california because we can legally grow it here through proper paper work and money throughput.
I started smoking pot when I was 12 or 13 it's hard to say. Let's say the summer of 7th grade. Now I've been escaping undesirable situations since I could remember (faking sick, throwing a tantrum whatever is necessary to get out of going to church or school). Now the escape was a tangible object, not an action. You could hold it, smell it, eat it if you wanted, or just smoke it cuz thats how DARE said you did it.
You see Addicts start becoming addicts when they are about 3, not 18, 21, or 40. WHen they are very young. This is one thing the Regean administration did not ever understand. In the 80's America was growing richer and there was actually a middle class. Kids got spoiled more often than not because their parents had the means to do it. It was usually easier than fighting it. But like I said if you tell some people NO, they will obey and sometimes not even know why. They just know they should obey, they've been conditioned that way. JUST DO AS YOUR TOLD, thats the curse that becomes placed on those poor souls. Do as your told without knowing why, don't ask why, just do it. This is how Tyrants remain in power, this is how wars are fought, this is how senseless laws are enforced and how many innocent people have to suffer. Economics is another reason but thats just apart of being a working stiff. You Trade in your beliefs for some cash. Good job, well done you've been had, just like the kid who got in the car for some candy. This is how the Nixons, Reagans, Bushes and Saddams kept their power. Obey even when you can't say why. Keep everyone Ignorant and indifferent to anything that is "different" or unacceptable. This is the type of society we have today, they have won. Free thinkers are destined to be criminals or live under the radar never helping society. Good job.
BTW This is all my opinion I dont have any confirmed facts
