D.A.R.E., the infamous anti-drug organization that seemingly hasn’t progressed beyond Reefer Madness, recently published a satirical anti-pot story thinking it was real. The piece, “Edible Marijuana Candies Kill 9 in Colorado, 12 at Coachella,” appeared on the fake news site topekasnews.com.

One would have to be ideologically pure in order to believe this satirical story and, dammit, that is exactly what D.A.R.E. is: an ideological program run by reefer mad dimwits of the worst sort.

Research has proven that D.A.R.E. simply doesn’t prevent anyone from doing drugs and, in fact, actually sometimes increases their use. And their work can result in tragedies. In Kansas, after an 11-year-old student defended his mother’s use of cannabis oil to a D.A.R.E instructor, he was detained by authorities while the police obtained a warrant to search her home. After finding a small amount of cannabis oil (which she used to treat her Crohn’s Disease) a judge ordered that her son be taken from her home.

So not only are DARE employees really stupid, they are mean-spirited and ugly.
