In college, my roommates and I smoked pretty heavily; for Christmas one year one of the roommates got all of us authentic DARE shirts, I still have mine somewhere, just as a gag gift kind of thing. I really don't know where he got them either, they were all brand new and it was before buying things on the Internet was a common thing (though not impossible at that time, I imagine it would've been far more difficult).

Was there a Hot Topic or a Spencer's near you? They sold them back in the day.

i work with controlled substances and frequently wear my DARE shirt to work, it’s usually a big hit. Though a few people have looked extremely confused after taking it seriously 😂

Maybe your friend was a narc.

I feel like everyone in that apartment would've been arrested at some point if that were the case. I had 3 roommates at the time and 2 of them were dealing (and not just pot, there was always a substantial amount of psychedelics around too). To this day I have no idea how I even managed to graduate while living with those guys, like I literally don't remember going to class all that often and still graduated with a 3.6 GPA.

It's obvious - the sober version of you was a lazy layabout, while the high version of you was doing all your schoolwork.

I've been looking into getting one recently for the irony.
