Has anyone ever actually had a drug dealer giving out free hits?
I feel like that's the biggest lie DARE ever told.
DARE told so many lies. I was told that if I smoked weed, it would ruin my life and I would become a helpless drug addict. Then I smoked weed and that didn't happen. Then they got me thinking "what else did they lie to me about?".
When I was a teen, I was offered drugs for free more than once, so it's not all a lie. Maybe it is just uncommon in many places.
I'm Brazilian, BTW.
But was it from a dealer?
Yeah no. That's not good business, for small dealers. Only large ones looking to improve their margins and completely without morals.
Pretty much the only people who do that are actual medical doctors (who've gotten convinced into believing some lies by pharma reps who are the lowest of the low) and sample offerers at large grocery stores.
I mean I've had free hits from my dealers, and given out free hits. Of weed. While someone is buying weed. So it's not like I'm pushing it on anyone or anyone is pushing anything on me.
Drug propaganda is mostly lies yeah.
Legalise, educate, tax and regulate.
