well, let me put it this way, my parents decided to pull me out of public school and place me in a private school. This was right before my old school had decided to start the DARE program there. The private school that I attended had no DARE program, and never started one. When I met back up with my old freinds from public school when I went to high school, I had learned that all of them had either expiramented with drugs or were continual users. So, from my expirience, no, it hasn't been effective, but who am I to judge? I didn't even take the program.
