Are "Just Say No" programs still a thing? If so, it's just a silly idealized way of dealing with this. Sure it's nice to teach children that they shouldn't do drugs, but there should be a "What if I say yes?" section taught at some point, that deals with where to get help and support in case you do become addicted.

I hope not, but I really don't know. Same thing as abstinence education. Why waste the time. When I heard about LSD in 6th or 7th grade in a just say no or DARE program, all that happened was that my interest was piqued and I had to try it.
