I'm not sure how worried I needed to be about some random person offering me free drugs as a fourth grader in a rural town in New Mexico, but the officer who came into our classroom as part of the D.A.R.E. program sure made me fret.

Correct Answer: Drug Abuse Resistance Education
The answer is: Drug Abuse Resistance Education. D.A.R.E. was first conceived in Los Angeles in 1983 by a bunch of adults that clearly understood how kids talk.
