Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2001 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
I should have known that announcements I get via the Berkeley ACLU might be kinda skewed ideologically.

I went through DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) in fifth grade and I primarily recall that I won first place in my class in the essay contest (topic: "Why I Will Never Use Drugs"). I'm rather unhappy now that I received and accepted such a simplistic attitude towards drug use. The nuances of harm reduction seem much more important to me now.
