Drug abuse resistance education, where the goal was to get kids to not do drugs, join gangs, or be violent by using a pledge.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education

Notably, people who take this course are actually more likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Because they would blatantly lie about the drugs so finding out how untrue it was made what "education" that was actually real seem less credible

okay but do they use more drugs because they took the course or did they take the course because they knew they would be more likely to use drugs?
