The final edition of the largest evaluation of the DARE program
has concluded that the Anti-Drug program does not reduce drug
use, and in at least category of pot, the DARE graduates 
smoked more frequently than the control. 

The report concluded:

"The DARE program's limited effect on adolesent drug use contrasts 
with the program's popularity and prevalence.  An important implication 
is that DARE could be taking the place of other, more beneficial 
drug education programs that kids could be receiving"
