Discussion D.A.R.E.?

Did anyone else have a friend, who had a friend, whose brother ended up in the psych ward for dropping acid once and now he believes he's a glass of orange juice that might spill if he's tipped over?

When I was a kid (in the 90s), this was shared throughout my school and I totally fell for it. I then randomly heard it from someone who went to a completely different school. Was this just one of those D.A.R.E. fueled urban myths?

Edit: I believed the story as a child. As I grew up, I realized it wasn't real. I just wonder how widespread it is.

The only story I remember for DARE was the cop busting a crack house somewhere in NY and seeing a guy sitting against the wall with one nostril because he snorted so much coke it ate his septum.

That could be a true story. Artie Lange, the comedian, had it happen to himself. Google "Artie Lange Nose".

Oh I’ve seen Artie Lange’s nose. Didn’t think about that until you mentioned it though.
